[QUOTE="WiseChoices, post: 753533, member: 24254"] I don't know anything about Kratom but from own personal experience, a drug is a drug is a drug. It does not matter what substance one is addicted to , it all ends in the same place as addiction is a progressive and fatal disease. The only place I know that can arrest the disease one day at a time is AA or NA. As addicts, we will substitute and play games with our heads about it. I will only use Kratom and not shoot meth again. But the problem is that it's still feeding the disease, creating dependence. And it's just a place holder until we pick up the drug of choice again. It is inevitable in my opinion. My drug of choice was alcohol. My games said "i will only have 2 drinks" "I will leave the bar at midnight" "I will only drink beer". - and could never do it. The mental component of the mental health disorder addicting are the cognitive distortions: [URL="https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cognitive_distortion"]Cognitive distortion - Wikipedia[/URL] And the repetitive thoughts , irritability, discontent and restlessness. We need to soothe our minds, find serenity. Alcohol and drugs temporarily shut this state down - hence they are they solution, not the problem. The problem is the mind. [/QUOTE]
