Kava Curious
So, I got my shipment of stone in today.  So even thought i know it is finely ground, i soak it 30 minutes.  I decided to try it strong.  1cup to somewhere over two cups.
So I squeeze the hell out of for about 10 min using the cloth I purchased with the K.  I was looking at all the sentiment at the bottom, so I run my first cup through a coffee filter.  I kept the kava to rewash, i got it soaking overnight and i put what was on the filter into that.  So, first shell.  Eh, i felt something interesting.  Second cup, no coffee filter.  okay now we are getting numb on contact.  That coffee filter screwed up the first, had no numbing contact, glad i saved that.  3rd, pretty nice.  Mellow.  I kept expecting something more, I finally got tired and passed out.  
It should be noted that I am coming off of K@, its been a roller coaster.  It completely alleviated it.  Wonderful.
So, I wake up.  Like an hour later.  Sleep has sucked.  So, i decide to finish off the ass end of what i had left.  I noticed a lot sediment in the bottom, but I did not get any nausea last time and I did not want to risk it sucking like shell 1.  I drank that, prepped some more only using the 2 tbsp per cup method.  I drank it slow, almost made it through 2 shells.  And man, it blew my head off.  Lol.  But, i also got extreme nausea.  It has been 3 hours since I laid down.  It has pretty much passed, I did not want to push myself.  What interest me greatly is that the numbing from the herculean kava at the bottom made the kava taste much much different.  I really liked it a lot.  It gave it a fresh taste.  I love the taste of that second round after my nap.  K@ w/d are starting to come back into effect, but it sure alleviated a lot.  I am looking forward to the K@ hell to end.  All in all, i think im really going to like kava.

Very cool. It definitely does wonders for K@ withdrawal; when I decide to take a break from K@ for a few days to drop my tolerance, frequent kava consumption makes the WDs unnoticeable. I'm sorry that K@ wasn't as much of a gift for you as it is for some, but it's great that kava has made coming off of it easier for you. Best of luck in your future kava pursuits and your abstinence from K@!

K@ got me through a hellish time in my life.  I am just too tired from it now.  I use to go through my life and heavy nutrition was my thing of choice.  The kava is just a cross fade.  Though I may be keeping it around in light usage.  Not knocking K@.  A month ago I would have said I am still not stopping.  This at first started as a month long break i planned.  Then I thought that since these w/d's are just that miserable.  Why experience this again.  This could take some time to get back to my old self.  I am never depressed period.  And this is something hellish(the w/d and depression).  Time gos by so slow.  
But yah.  I decided to take another round of Kava.  Why not :) .  I can't all day it all the time.  I got a better grip on the medium this time.
Its been 16 hours since I have had any support supplements.  I hit myself pretty heavy in the AM though.  I know I am in uncharted territory here.  But its working, and its working well.

Kava Curious
Just gonna report in on the K withdrawals.  I am still so amazed how much better it has been this time.  Now, i do have a Kava hangover which i am irresponsibly drinking away.  Lol.  But look its like this, K withdrawals and serious lifeless depression or a hangover?  I will take the hangover.  So, ive pretty much binged since i got the stuff.  Earlier i had to take a break, so I ate a good meal.  Shot down a ton of nutrition.  Managed to get a 2 hour nap in.  
Last night I was listening to music and I got a burst of adrenaline.  My brain was sore from it.  Its like it was not used to it.  Ive been feeling adrenaline through out the day.  Earlier i took supplements to combat it so its got a thresh hold now.  Man I love K@ and miss it so much.  But I dont know if its worth being tired like that.

Kava Curious
I've been binging on Kava since I discovered it and have ordered over $400 worth in the last month...my wife thinks i'm nuts, but i'm interested in trying out the different varieties. I took sunday night off, and hit the coconut shell again on monday and was blown off my feet. So maybe I need to space my sessions out like every other day or something like that.



I've got a bunch of K@ left that I haven't touched since my kava binge...i just had such nasty w/d's that it's turned me off. Dflux, i'd rather take the hangover too than the w/d's and depression. Although there was a strain of kava that I did (bought it in Maui from the kava bar) and i felt pretty goddamed depressed after a heavy session ( i think it was a cup of powder). Luckily I haven't felt like that since.
