Was addicted to heroin after service in the US Army with 2 tours in combat. Was suicidal, had nothing to live for. Veteran said to try kratom, I quit heroin and got my life back. Now, 5+ years later, I'm married, bought a house, on way to get my PhD in history, just started my master's at Buff St after finishing my bachelor's.

However, I used it as a replacement therapy. After then 15 straight years of being on opiates or Suboxone, kratom just replaced those and allowed me to function normally without getting high. Eventually, you have to pay the piper. Low doses are best. Using it for long term opiate use can be a life saver but you'll have to take it daily. It saved my life, forever grateful.
