    Subutex has kept me off dope and I got my life back. Kratom is similar in that it’s a partial antagonist. Everyone is different. I’ve abused kratom and abused subs before. I take half a day. I made the choice to be dependent on something but that drawback beats the fuck outta being strung out esp with fent in everything right now.

    I was addicted to FDA approved pain pills, benzos and muscle relaxers for 11 years straight. I got fired from chronic pain management in April 2019. After that, I went to the streets and started doing cocaine while I was searching for a new pain management doctor. In June 2019, whilst in cocaine withdrawal, I watched that documentary “A Leaf of Faith.” My journey with Kratom began the very next day. Kratom shut that “I need one more snort, one more pill, one more escape” noise off in my brain. It allowed me to work on my whys of addiction. I have not been back to pain management in over 5 years. I am a functioning member of society again. I am a thriving mother again. I am no longer a burden to my kids. I will be forever grateful and thankful that I accidentally found lab-tested whole-leaf powder Kratom. I now pass on my journey, wisdom and science to help those struggling with addiction, chronic pain, anxiety and depression. Yours truly, Kratom advocate/activist from Colorado est. 2019.

    Kratom is a great girlfriend but a terrible life long partner. Use it to get off the hard stuff if you must but don't make it a long term habit. It takes a toll. It doesn't destroy your life like alcohol will but it is a slow grind down emotionally. Being enslaved to the dose and being slightly numb/disconnected all the time. The first few years are a blast. I had some great times with it. But eventually, we all pay the piper.
