) Not using opiates more than maybe twice a week or so is how way to avoid dependence, though you need to beware that it is easy to slip up and get addicted when dosing so regularly. Preferably, if you decide to go this route you will use less than twice per week on average. The other way to approach this is to get your tolerance down and try something like plain leaf kratom, which has a bit less addiction potential. This is what I personally do, and I can attest to it being a wonderful social anxiety reliever. It is still wise to dose less than daily with kratom, but it can be used a fair bit more often than traditional opiates without causing dependence. Another benefit is that tolerance stays fairly consistent.
