this will sound like strange advice, maybe even a tad twee, but try to listen to the kava. The kava will tell you what you need to know, what is wise to do.
I always listen to the kava and it never lies to me. It also loves me and wants what is best for me. If you let it, kava can be a very very good friend.
Also, little known fact, you can ask kava a question and often get the answer (you *already* know the answer to most questions, kava doesn't tell you the answer, it just helps you realize you already know it). I find it quite useful. If I am going to have a decent sesh I often start with a question as the theme of the sesh. I find this can be very very productive.
I count those as my overindulgence because I would have vomited if I didn’t take a Zofran that I happened to have on hand. I keep it on hand all the time now just in case. I haven’t had that feeling since I found my trigger for « done ». I listen to the kava now. I notice I tend to overindulge on more balanced kavas because I’m really in need of the heavy/relaxing feeling. So, I tend to steer clear of those. Only KWK Borogu is useful, in that I drink it at work and, of course, never overdo. I suppose I’ll just save all of my balanced kavas for this purpose.
