I user 10mg percocettes for 7 years of my life and extremely debilitated and bed bound outside of working my job that I struggled to do just to come home and go to bed. Thought I was dying. Moved to a state where I had more options to try to get off the opoids. 1st I tried cannibus and didn't care for it except for sleep. Then I found kratom. WHAT A GAME CHANGER. I was no longer bed bound d felt great and worked and volunteered and took my kids to theme parks and DID EVERYTHING I could. I recently 2 months ago decided to quit kratom because I found another therapy option.  One thing I learned for MY circumstances is that after quitting I actually didn't need it anymore. I didn't need anything for pain. I was able to work through my own issues not having as demanding of a job helped me a lot. I still have aches and pains and if I ever need it kratom will be my 1st defense as I will hopefully NEVER have to use opiates again. They are the main reason in my opinion people go to heroin and fentanal. It took me about a week to come off using 5-6 heaping teaspoons a day for 7 years. Yes it was uncomfortable at 1st but I should have tried to wean instead of cold turkey. This leaf in pure for is amazing for those truly struggling with addiction and chronic pain. It easily helped me transition off the percocettes and I'm so thankful to have been able to use kratom during my time of need. It truly gave me my life back! Xoxo
