It might be worth getting this moved to, and stickied in Physical and Mental Well-Being - there's already an Alcohol support thread there, as well as a recently stickied Marijuana support thread.
Obviously up to you Con, but I reckon it'd fit nicely along with those other two, and would have less chance of getting lost than it would in ODD.

Oh such is the cycle. We are surely masters at convincing ourselves why we should do 'this' or 'that'. There's always a bloody reason. I'm hardly a prolific H addict but I've been there. Several times. It's only when I've accepted that there is simply no reason to buy another bag that doesn't involve me essentially shitting on my own life that I've managed to break the chains and push through WD.

I'd use Kratom for the first 7 to 14 days when it's at its worse then stop all opioid use and just learn to deal with PAWS. I used Kratom for around 12 days and just stopped (I actually ran out of Kratom) and I felt great. It got me through the worse.
Fucking kills me to think how they've banned it in the UK when I hear success stories like that. I used it for about the same time period on my last big opiate WD. Can't say I felt 'great' afterwards (PAWS?) but it eased my suffering a fucking shit load.

Ah yes. Comparatively good.

I think you raise a good point Fen, even if the chemical is not extraneous, there's dopamine, seratonin, oxytocin, etc. About 55 psychoactive chemicals produced in the brain if memory serves me.
The human condition seems inherently one of being born a 'drug fiend'.
