What's up folks, just thought I'd stop by and introduce myself. It must be the kava talking, because generally I don't care to partake in forums these days, apart from reading them. Anyways, I began using kava in pill form a while back with no luck. Obtained some tea bags from a GNC store, which also didn't do anything. I then ordered some instant along with some powdered root from amazon... again with no effect. However, after reading around I was determined to experience this root and was convinced that there had to be some truth to its psychoactive properties. I purchased some WOW, made 3 tbsp worth mixed with a little bit of milk and soy lecithin, and WOW... I was completely blown away. I've been enjoying this stuff quite a bit, apart from the taste. However, having a past history of drug addiction/alcoholism I honestly feel like this is more of a medicine as opposed to a substance of abuse, and I don't have any desire to abuse it. I find the taste appalling and the process of making it rather annoying, however 3 tbsp worth a day completely rids me of any desire to drink alcohol, and if I do it's usually no more than one or two beers long after the kava has worn off (which is crazy if you knew how much I generally drank before I started taking kava). I look forward to discovering how kava can help me in other ways. I would like to use it in the mornings, because I have found it certainly elevates my mood and alleviates my minor anxieties, it's just sometimes when I take it (like right now) I'm feeling so heavy and almost dizzy, I couldn't see myself doing my daily tasks after drinking this kava. Perhaps in the mornings I can take a lower dose. Anyways I'm just rambling, that's one of the first things I noticed with kava, I became extremely talkative. Anyways, I look forward to reading around and learning a thing or two. My only complaint is it's rather expensive and I've gone through my supply relatively fast. I also have stone kava, but I prefer the WOW so far.

When I look at my kava budget and compare it to my previous alcohol budget, it turns out the same. By the way, I don't drink cheap booze. As time progresses, I am able to reduce my daily intake of kava but I still get good results. You can save the being Krunked for the weekend and just ride the pleasant wave of mellowness that a lower dose will provide. For many of us, being in our 5 senses at night is a new experience but I can assure you it feels good and you get stuff done and sleep like a newborn. I think the members can also help you find products that may be more cost effective for you.
