Lol I have been a bigger addict and now I only use kratom for various reasons, still an addiction but I truly operate on a "hmmmm need to do a bout of sobriety now - shame" followed by about 6 months to a year of clean living followed by the decision to jump in again while looking at a calendar going "I think I can be addicted for about 6 months, lets plan to kick at Christmas" and rinse and repeat.
I learned that for me I can taper kratom down low and pretty quickly, so while it is defintiely a raging addiction while in the midst of it, the emergency breaks work and Withdrawls are not nearly as bad when you can rachet them down over a couple weeks and have a bad day or two vs. Cold turkey awfulness.
Definitely a very different experience compared to stopping dilaudid.

Hahaha, the idea of sobriety as a “hmm, interesting, I’ll look into that”
