Went to the pharmacy to pick up my meds yesterday, and they didn’t have my anti-psychotic. This is my first major hurdle since being out of rehab, since drinking was the only way I coped with being without my anti-psychotic. What sucks is that this happened on memorial day weekend so I can’t get this solved until Tuesday. Wish me luck y’all, it’s gonna be a shitty weekend :/

But no matter how bad it gets, I’m not gonna drink about it

  • It’s been quite successful in treating opioid addiction as well. They were just about to ban it in my very conservative state, but the American Kratom Association gave a convincing presentation to our legislature and they changed some minds

      I could certainly see it being useful there. And I remember hearing about it back in ‘my day’ but never tried it. I was just worried about it scratching the itch too well and making me want to relapse. And it does give some of the same feelings as opioids. But it doesn’t hook me the same way. I’ll buy a bag of capsules and forget I have them sometimes, which is just not something I’ve ever done with anything.
