Damn, you replied before I could finish my edit... :/

Thanks, but I'll be alright. Already got all the luck I need from kratom. Like I said, it kicked my ass into gear and made me a functioning adult. Even if it's as dangerous as some people claim, I'll take that chance, because the alternative is homelessness. My parents are dead now, so if I quit, I will stop going into work and my girlfriend will break up with me. I have nobody else. Kratom is the one thing preventing that from happening.
