Hey,
Longtime lurker, first-time poster. I am a 29-year old male from Ontario; I'm a University graduate (Honours BA - History) and I'm also a recovering alcoholic - 20 months w/o a drink - and an avid kratom "burner" (hint: kratom isn't for human consumption, it's used strictly as an incense).
When I was younger (18-26) I experimented a lot w/ cannabis, MDMA, cocaine and methamphetamine, all coupled with heavy alcohol consumption. Eventually I had a massive panic attack in 2003, triggered primarily by my cannabis use, that landed me in the ER for the night. Regardless, I still irresponsibly continued to "party" up until two or three years ago (and I continued to drink until 20 months ago). I no longer would ever consider using any type of "upper" or stimulant, but I do enjoy the occasional opiate and/or obscure benzo.
I began seeing a psychiatrist last year for depression/anxiety and alcohol abuse and, as a result, I was prescribed 40 mg Cipralex and 1mg Lorazepam (for insomnia) per day, both of which I continue to take to this day. I joined BL in order to have some questions answered (hopefully!) and to take part in the numerous forums here. If anyone has any questions for me, ask away.
