I need to take a break from kratom

[Deleted member 22124]

I took it everyday except saturday since monday last week. It's too much and I need to start using it more sparangly if I want to keep getting the good effects. I might feel a little crappy for a while, but I'm getting addicted so I really need to take a few days off. Thing is I'm already at a point where it's hard not to take it everyday so that just tells me that it's time to dial it back.

Sorry for the sad tier post, but I just had to get that off my chest.

It's so hard. I wish I had a support network. That's why things like AA/NA work. Drugs are the only thing that comfort me or give me serotonin.

I didn't take anything for about 3 days a little over a week ago and then when I did I felt really good. If you read my posts from then you can see that I was in a better mood. Now all I can think about is when my next dose is going to be and I might even give in and take it before I intend to. I just don't have much to hold me back. No family, friends, job. I can only imagine how hard it would be to abstain from something like heroine if I was addicted to that. This is still relatively mild.

I even had 2 beers yesterday and you're not supposed to mix those because it can be toxic to the liver.

I just need to feel bad for a bit so that I can go back and start enjoy it again.

I don't know where to go if I were to do that. It's not good to isolate yourself. This doesn't replace an irl social life, but it's a form of interaction. There's been studies on it; people do get something positive and develop social/emotional skill etc. from forums at some level.

get to some real life? idk but doubt this echo chamber is a good substitute for healthy social real interaction. lol at thinking that the forum full of larps is a good influence

Maybe I should do it every other day or something like that. At 17:00 it's been 24 hours since I last took it. I mangad to sleep 2 times today so I might be ready to start living life again.

Im a junkie, I guess. I don't really mean to be, it's just that substances have been a central part of my life for basically my whole life. At least it's a (relatively) harmless compound. I barely drink, only like a few beers a week and I don't take any illegal drugs anymore.

I don't think I should feel bad about using kratom. I need something and this is a lot less harmful than other drugs I've taken in the past. I just can't let it get outta hand like it did the past week or so.

It gives me joy. It comforts me. It makes me feel at ease. I have something to look forward to, no matter how hard times get. Not taking anything just isn't feasible for me.

I can report how I feel when I take it at midnight (4 hours).
