In 2018 I had been addicted to prescription opiates I was put on in 2014 after the birth of my frost child. Before I knew it, I couldn't go a day without a pill even though I was healed, and now longer truly needed it. August 2018 I tried kratom in a milkshake, I felt great,  not buzzed just energetic and no pain. I ended up taking 5 days off work in which I used kratom as a substitute for the opiate, which helped me go through the withdrawal. I was back to work by Friday & no longer needed that medicine. It's been almost 6 years!!! I support kratom as I don't know where I'd be right now had I not discovered it.
