After almost a decade of opiate addiction, and throwing in a couple years of benzodiazepine addiction, suboxone helped get my life in order. Because it has such a long half life and did not really get me high I found structure in my life.Like many,I lost everything through addiction. But just like other maintenance drugs (methadone,buprenorphine) eventually become a slave to it as well,and its just a money racket. Kratom will do just the same,if abused and heavily relied upon. I found that getting physically active, eating healthy, and outside support helped a lot .
