It's very natural to worry about how much kava you are drinking and whether it's having any negative effects. My advice is don't worry. You can go through the same stage as most people and have your liver levels checked regularly for a few years and then realise that in actual fact kava is doing nothing at all to your liver or you can just carry on drinking at the level you are and not worry about it. You might want to take the odd break if you do start getting substantial dermo but other than that you're good.
I know that kava really helps me to stay away from alcohol most of the time which is only good for my well being but I find it absolutely fascinating that it can be used to help with stronger drugs. That can definitely be life changing for a lot of people.
Oh, it's definitely been life changing. The thing is with me, I was forced to stop taking hard drugs due to psychosis issues, but I kept trying to stay sober, and eventually after 6 months or so, always slipped up. I just wanted SOMETHING to let me relax of an evening. I used to smoke weed but was forced to give that up due to a health complication, so when I did have to give it up, I felt like I'd lost a loved one, and that's why I turned to alcohol and harder drugs. Since getting into kava, I feel like I have that loved one back, it's unbelievable.
That's awesome, all the best to you!
Kava is very safe, when you drink the powdered root with water, it has a several thousand year track record of safe use. I have been drinking kava for many many years now, I drink every night about 6:30 (that is my 'awa time and when I love to create and play on my piano)
"stop for a week or two" oh look at me Mr. Imnotakavaaddict
