Kava Enthusiast
I have an "all in" mentality with most of what I do in life. I don't drink alcohol too often but when I drink I drink hard and fast. This is part of why I love kava, because it's a lot lot safer for someone with a mentality like mine.
When I first started drinking kava I wanted to drink hard and fast like I would with alcohol, and then I threw up and really didn't get a better experience by having more anyway. So moderation was lesson #1. I learned how much I enjoy and adjusted how much I make for a session to that.
Recently, kava has been teaching me a second lesson, the lesson of patience. I've been exercising good moderation in how much I make for a session, but then I'll want to down it all as soon as possible. That often leads to nausea and a gassy bloated stomach. I'm finding that if I wait longer between shells I don't have that problem no matter what the kava. I don't feel like I'm losing effect, and it seems to last much longer as a result.
This is why I think kava is a great alternative for addicts. It's actually counter-productive if you try to abuse it.
