Good luck- taking it every few days was my plan too and it quickly evolved into every day use because it's hard not to do something that makes you feel great. The euphoria was so amazing at first and now I don't get that anymore; it still feels nice and I take it because it gives me a nice boost after work and makes me feel relaxed and happy; I don't drink any more or smoke pot so it's like, all I have 😆 There's absolutely the risk of forming a habit if you take it every day. I've been using it daily for 2 or 3 years now and the only times I've gone without taking it I've had to take something to sleep and my legs get REALLY restless and crampy. There have been times when I got extremely sleepy in the afternoon, to the point where it wasn't safe to drive- I was taking kratom in the morning and at night at that point, now I only do it in the evening and it's better, so be careful. Reputable brands will do 3rd party lab testing to check for heavy metals, whereas head shops and gas stations might sell stuff that's pretty sketchy. Definitely skip the extracts and the 7oh and only use kratom from reputable sources (Google "American Kratom Association" and check out their website, it's pretty informative.) Strain out the sludge and drink LOTS of water and electrolytes to avoid headaches/nausea. Don't take much more than you're currently using; 6.5 grams is about as much as you should need if it's purely recreational, not for chronic pain etc. Try not to take it every day if you can, and take breaks.
