KRATOM IS NO JOKE!!! Let this be a reminder to all who are considering giving kratom a try. In my opinion kratom can be a MUCH Healthier and Safer alternative to the other crap we put in our bodies. It has many benefits and much good can come from it. Only when used RESPONSIBLY .
About 5 years ago I had about a years worth of sobriety, this was back before the media caught on and really put it in the spotlight. Hell other than folks online Nobody and I mean nobody knew what it was. I specifically remember asking my psychiatrist about it and he had to get on his computer to even get an idea. After I received my first order which was an ounce, I tossed and washed a few spoon-fulls and was hooked right there. From this day until I quit I would consume 1Kilo of powdered leaf about every 11days. Due to the leaf being freakishly cheap through wholesale I refused to spend the extra bucks on the extracts and ect.
I had this illusion that since it was legal, cheap, and fairly unknown. I believed I had finally found a substance which I could indulge in and live normally. Fast forward about 1 and a half years: I am miserable on kratom the constipation was far worse than any opiate I had encountered, I could only shit twice a week (When I was lucky) and boy I dreaded it every time. The pain Oh God the pain, Having to swallow 5-6 spoon fulls of powder 3-4 times a day was becoming a chore, it's not that easy to hide anymore, I became sick from the thought of it and eventually the act of it. I am miserable without kratom the mental anguish is unbelievable. I cried for no reason, I would constantly sweat, I could not go out with friends because I was unable to control the leaking from my bowels, Anxiety through the roof everything is going wrong "Why can't I stop worrying about some random shit that doesn't make sense?!?!", I was incapable of any type of relaxation as if my body could not register what a recliner or bed is supposed to feel like........... And so on goes the Endless cycle insanity and un-manageability.
I ended up going cold turkey and I have not used kratom since that. Although Fascinated by it's properties I have a almost 3 foot tall tree(rifat strain). Anyways after day 4 things began to get better. I have detoxed off of all kinds of things however in regards to opiates/opiods the withdrawal from kratom is Definitely unique.
I hope you continue on seeing the light at the end, nothing in my post was meant to judge you or be negative in anyway. I just wanted to briefly share my experience so that you know you are not in this alone.
