Another Kratom success story...

About me...

I’m an engineer by training, an Army vet, father, boyfriend, college grad living the American dream right? Something went wrong several years ago after I got divorced (the first time) and started using substances to cope with problems.

For several years I’ve been a binge alcoholic. Which led me to making some friends I met at a bar where I was introduced to Heroin and coke. From there it was a love affair with these drugs. I could get Oxy 22’s all the time as well and used those at work. This went on for years...

After my second divorce, things took a turn for the worse. Everything bad that happened to me stemmed from drug and alcohol use and abuse. I lost my kids from my first marriage and I was on my way to losing rights to my son with my second. Not to mention, also my job, car and my life.

Some nights I would come home, living in a bedroom at that point and wake up, half dressed and a keeping terror because I had no idea where I was. It was a huge wake up call when it’s a Wednesday and I had to look out the window to see if my car was there and go inspect it to see if I hit anything or anyone! It really was a miracle I didn’t hurt anyone or myself by driving.

I was up to a bundle a week H habit and countless Oxy. A few grams of Coke...Lived with a pint of 100proof peppermint schnapps in my bag and countless cases of beer and gallon jugs of cheap vodka at home, if that’s what it was? I was still functional. Or at least I thought I was and to be honest I don’t know how. People knew and it was only a matter of time before I was out on my ass, no job, no kid, no girl, no semblance of a life.

I was running out of steam and things were catching up to me after 8 or so years of slowly killing myself and then there was a moment of clarity. I wanted to quit, I NEEDED to quit. But I was afraid. I was afraid because any time I let go of the opiates I wanted to commit suicide. Pain, depression, spiral alcoholism, I never lasted more than a couple days.

I looked for substitutes online, something natural. I was to prideful to seek out the much needed medical attention I should have at that time, however, in the interim, I found Kratom.

It was a big decision to make that first order since I only had $100 to my name and needed to re up. So in my insanity took out a loan to buy more H and some Oxy while I waited for my first order of Kratom to arrive.

I got this stuff in a few days and laughed my ass off when I opened up the bag. It was a pulverized plant. In my mind I was thinking it was going to be more of a chemical. I thought, “WTF is this shit, what was I thinking?” “Just wasted $60!”

So it sat there until I ran out of money and product on my very last binder. So, I pulled out the Kratom. Shaking and in pain. There was spilled Kratom all over the place. It was a Bali and I mixed up about 6 grams and took it like a shot. I felt nothing. However, the funny thing was, that my shaking stopped and I felt somewhat normal. Somewhat.

My first thought was “I need to take more of this shit then to get high” and it’s what I did. I mixed up another 6 grams and got violently ill. Puking and vertigo, it was a mess, however, I didn’t drink and I didn’t use. That day.

After I passed out in the bathroom I woke up in the middle of the night, feeling better than I did. Passing out in the bathroom was a norm for me so I just got up and went straight to the Kratom. I held the bag in my hand and almost threw it out. I was pissed. I couldn’t get high off it and I was somewhat intimidated by it because of how bad it made me feel when I took too much.

So I drank a few beers and tried again. This time with just one 8g dose. And bam. About a half hour I was feeling ok. Yeah I had several beers in me that morning but I had to at that point. The thing was, though, that I wasn’t using any opiate and didn’t have the desire to. That really made me bawl my eyes out. I couldn’t believe it was possible to not have those intense cravings. The grip on me was so intense I felt beat up and caged every single day. Kratom gave me the key to unlock the cell!

I started to wean myself off alcohol and with such mild opiate withdrawal because of the Kratom it actually went pretty smooth. After a couple weeks I was taking 8g or Kratom 3 times a day and sometimes 4, but I started to lose the desire to drink.

It was a quick turnaround for me and people started to notice right away. I got a compliment for the first time in years that I looked good so I knew I was in the right track.

As I went on to getting off alcohol my cravings for the opiates melted away. I’ve had some bouts with alcohol but It’s now been about 8 months without it and a couple years off of the opiates.

If it wasn’t for Kratom, I may very well be dead, homeless, or worse. It’s truly a godsend, really. I use it now at anywhere from 3.5 to 6g, 3 to 4 times per day. It just works. I’m up for a promotion and am being productive and smart again. It’s the best feeling. I have a great relationship with my son and make it to all his games now. People trust me again, just bought a brand new car and have court up on all my bills finally.

One key piece here is self administration with Kratom. With it being legal gives me the ability to take an extra dose if I need it or tailor my regimen as I see fit for my mental or physical state. It really works well this way for me and I’ve seen this with other people as well.

For anyone out there that struggles with addiction, Kratom is worth trying. If you WANT to stop it WILL enable you to do it successfully as I am living proof of this. Thank you all and thank nature for providing a natural plant that promotes health and relief of the most cruel and selfish of afflictions...
