I have been off pain pills for a couple years

I have been off pain pills for a couple years but recently found out about Kratom extract… like opms and cheif kratom. I feel like I’m falling back into spending money daily and now today I realized I’m not even in pain and I desperately went to go buy two shots of opms Kratom. My addiction personality is winning again and I feel like doo doo over this. Why the F did I go spend money on thee and I don’t even need them? I just like the energy it gives me?? It’s pathetic and I’m not sure why I even downloaded this app… I got to get into a meeting with people. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. I just feel trapped under Kratom now and I want to be completely free

It’s easy to try and use anything that will make us feel better. Try tapering off maybe?

Thanks Joe! I’m so weak willed when it comes to self accountability. I’ve had this thought of tappering off before but everytime I’m like “eh you know what at least your not on pills” the little voice inside then I just make excuses and justify taking the Kratom. Your comment really helped me today and it’s so nice to hear it from someone else. Thank you for that

I had a friend who got off Heroin by getting on Kratom, but then he very much became addicted to it instead. I tried it several times in the past and fortunately it always gave me the worst nausea ever otherwise I might have liked it too much. Kratom is still an Opiate, you'd need to detox from it.

Kratom is something I heard of my friends doing to “drink or smoke less,” I don’t know enough about it
