When this season first started, I couldn’t stand Amanda. BUT… she’s kind of grown on me some. The only problem with Amanda is she’s kind of annoying, and I don’t even mean that in a bad way. She’s not mean, she’s not a bully, she’s not always stirring up some BS and getting involved in all the drama… she’s not a bad person! She’s just kind of annoying, lol! Perhaps she does need to learn when to “read the room” as Kathy told her, lol… BUT she’s not THAT bad! I like her a lot more than I like Dorit or Boz, who act like high school mean girls towards her and then turn around and play the innocent victim card. Plus I can only imagine how hard it is to find your place in that group of women, especially with a camera in your face. If given the choice between taking Dorit or Amanda off the show - 100% would choose Dorit.

I’ve found kratom addiction is a little different than most other addictions and here’s what I mean by that -
With drugs like meth, or H - yeah, you can do them alone but a lot of people with those particular addictions have at least one other friend they like to get high with. At the very least they have a dealer who supplies them with their drug of choice.
With pills - you either get them from a doctor or from someone else - a dealer, or a friend who doesn’t take them
With alcohol - you can call up your friends and ask if they want to go out for drinks…
And yes, you can do any of these things alone… but usually there’s other people involved whether they’re supplying the drug/drink or you’re doing it with them
But with kratom - it’s not like you call up your buddies to run down to the smoke shop or gas station and pick up a few bags of powder or a few bottles of liquid kratom, a lot of people don’t even know what kratom is.
You pretty much always “do it” alone.
Now that’s a double edged sword
Because, like, with drug addicts or alcoholics, you have to change the people you hang around. The ones who encouraged or even enabled you…
You don’t really have to worry about that with kratom - at least I don’t.
But then that just makes it all the more isolating.
I dk if that makes sense to anyone else, lol.
Hey! I just joined this group. I’ve used kratom for 8 years now - pretty heavily, if I must admit. I live with my partner who has been so patient and understanding with me. I’ve dialed back my usage… but he still seems to think that I can just quit and it’ll be “a day or two” but then it’ll be over… how do I explain to him that it’s not just “a day or two” or I would’ve been done quit! It’s a weeks, even months long process to get through to the other side. OR have I just convinced myself of that and I just need to ride it out?! My biggest issue, as I think it is with most kratom users, is the not being able to sleep at night! I hate the random chills, and the random stomach cramps and aches and pains… I just don’t want to live like that for weeks or months! Or is just something I’m gonna have to deal with?!
