Why are you quitting?

Im quitting because I just cant stand playing catch up with my body it just makes me depressed and I have to take more and more to overcome this. I also had a very bad seizure in december when I was taking over an oz a day plus extracts. And now recently ive been getting heart palpitations so fuck this so called "miracle drug".

I am quitting because I have been defeated by this stuff. I have pushed away too many people, lost the woman i had hoped to marry, given up too many opportunities, and consumed too much money with nothing but a ball and chain to show for it.

I am quitting because this is not where I want to be. I can't be here anymore, for my sanity's sake, I must forfeit the game. Kratom, you win, I've bowed out.

Excellent. I can see how that would be aggravating.

Yeah, kratom is no miracle drug, unless it's a miracle to suck a life away. Good for you for quitting. Get out while you can!!!

Oh where to begin?

Finances

K started giving me scary dizzy/shaky spells where I feel like I'm about to pass out

I once had a promising career as a screenwriter. Five years later, I'm burnt out, never write and my career is dead. Hoping to pick it back up when I feel better

Dead emotions/feelings

Not fully present for my family

Lack of sex drive

Never eat/lost tons of weight and look sickly and frail

Lost my passion for things I used to love like reading, watching movies, writing etc.

Well, I'll tell you why. I lost me temper and went bat shit crazy, scared me, unreal... The depression, deep, too deep to reach or touch, no light. A lost sense of being human, no longer victorious.

I had never experienced real depression until I got addicted to kratom. Even when I'm high I hate being alive.

My state banned the plant. So instead of eating my reserve then freaking out once it's gone, I've decided to get sober and then make kratom a treat as a once in a while thing.

Also it made me eat a lot so now I'm trying to lose weight.
