I didn’t know I was addicted.
I thought I’m taking just a herb that isn’t too dangerous, that I could quit any time I wanted (I just didn’t want to, because it made my life easier.) Familiar, isnt it?
I thought my psychiatrist knew. I remember telling her that I’m taking kratom, and because she didn’t say anything, I thought it was okay. Just a herb, right?
But I started to realize I have a problem. You can form psychological addiction to just about anything, even things that aren’t a “real” drug, and I knew I have reached that point. So I tried to ask her for advice.
