Hello kava lovers...

[Steve Mariotti]

I'm Steve.

I just discovered piper methysticum when reading about herbal anti-anxiety remedies and it sounded pretty much like something I should learn more about. I'm really happy to see an avid, dedicated community around this miraculous root and have learned a lot from your posts here and elsewhere. I want to give a shout out to Douglas La Rose whose great site has turned me on to more than one variety of kava and really fueled my own interest (nay, passion) for the stuff. I love his positive, even-handed honest reviews and his laid back and approachable presentation!

I'm currently recovering from a serious bout of depression with recent realization that anxiety fuels my condition. It's something I've grappled with my whole adult life (I'm 47 now) and medical science has turned out its pockets for me. Having a non-addictive natural alternative to anti-anxiety medications and all their myriad side effects and problems has been a life saver.

I want to thank all of you for your sage advice and passion reading through all these posts. I'm happy to have found this forum as a resource and hope to be a contributing member for years to come!

Steve

Hi Steve!

I'm not on the welcoming committee as a matter of course, but methinks some the fellows about here perhaps had a wee bit too much kava Fri. night.

So welcome to the forum Sir.

I concur. And throw in Saturday night, to boot.
Hola and Welcome, Steve-o
