I would never again trust myself using a substance to combat another substance. But a clinic helped me with alcohol withdrawal once.

Kratom withdrawal

I was naive and thought this was a harmless solution to depression and chronic psoriatic pain. 63 hours sober: all the textbook opiate w\d symptoms.
