Kratom Sobriety

Izzy turned to white strains of kratom to help with her ADHD and to get off other substances.  Admitting to having an addictive personality, she (@rejectclown) also found she also had to abstain from kratom as it wasn’t an herbal remedy that improved her life. 
Izzy says “Don't let anybody silence you or trick you into thinking that you are alone in this kratom struggle, that you're wrong, that you're what you're feeling is not valid. Your addiction is valid. How you choose to recover is valid.”
