Profoundly annoying to see “hospitalized for potential OD” on all the headlines yesterday. Crashing out, sure, but my man is no more ODing than a cop who saw a baby powder in a car during a traffic stop.

Huge accomplishment! 16 months here, it gets easier comrade!

I found alcohol much worse, a lot closer to what I have seen in fent withdrawal (never personally experienced that fortunately)

Definitely became dependant but it felt more like antidepressant dependency, where the addiction isn’t psychologically difficult but stopping cold turkey sucks. Sometimes I wonder if it would have been much harder to quit if I didn’t have to order it in the mail, which is a pretty good obstacle for a craving.

It helped me get to work as the least impairing drug I found that dulled my emotional pain enough. After work was for liquor lol

I feel like I had a pretty successful run with it and the times I had to withdrawal weren’t nearly as bad as what people say, though I guess you can’t know what your withdrawal will be like until you’ve done it

I worked in addiction treatment and harm reduction. The demons who took your friends from you will not stop until as many people are dead as possible. It is class warfare imo. Wish you and your friends well comrade.

Have you really seen people ruin their lives from just kratom use?
