Has anyone tried using Kratom to help with an addiction to opiates? Does Kratom itself get addictive if you start using it for a while?

I’ve been to a kava/kratom bar and gotta tell you the people there were totally out of it. Everyone says it’s not chemically addictive but I don’t think it’s a good idea if you’re someone who has a history of abusing substances. Kava is gabaergic and dopaminergic while kratom acts on serotonin receptors.

Yea you also should make it a point to stay away from naltrexone. It'll make you feel sick if you take mix the two (extra incentive to stay clean).

It'll take the edge off of your dope sick, but it's not a long term fix. There are behavioral elements to addiction that substitution can't fix. Inevitably if you want to be clean you'll want to learn how to do life sober and then how to love life sober. That's in my opinion a better way to live than being dependent on something else (whatever it is) to feel ok.

I totally agree. I guess I was more so asking for a short term solution

Downloaded the “Days” app. No frills, no extras. Just a number staring you in the face. I’ve made it almost habitual to open and check... even multiple times a day when I know the day counter hasn’t changed, but it’s helping and encouraging. Each day is a sense of accomplishment and a win over the pull of my own thoughts. Forcing my willpower into further restraint. 10 days strong so far.

1 week sober! Over the last 12 years (I’m early 30s) I’ve reached this point just a handful of times. Alcohol is deeply intertwined into my social life much like everyone’s is I imagine. Feeling clear minded and energized. Want to stay clean for my own mental and physical health and for the benefit of my wife and children. Just starting this journey so thank you in advance to this community as I’m ready to learn from you all and be a part. Let’s go!
