    E200 Jessica E.

    Lily interviews Jessica E., a 39-year-old Midwest mother initially used kratom to manage chronic back pain. Daily use escalated starting in 2023, leading to severe panic attacks, rage episodes, and full physical dependency at 8–9 grams per day. Unable to quit on her own, her best friend coordinated her admission to an ibogaine treatment center in Cancun, Mexico, where a supervised 14-hour flood dose completely eliminated her kratom cravings. Now over a year and a half sober from all substances for the first time since age 15, she credits ibogaine, prayer, her supportive husband, and intentional distance from the kava bar community as the pillars of her recovery.

    E199 Lauren C. Returns

    Lauren from episode 163 celebrates a year off kratom. In her first year of sobriety, the fog of kratom-induced complacency lifted around the five-to-six-month mark, spurring her to launch an Etsy shop, earn a corporate promotion, open her own creative marketing consulting business, pursue psychiatric care for underlying OCD and anxiety, and rebuild more authentic friendships.

    E198 Kayla D.

    Kayla, a 29-year-old stay-at-home mom diagnosed on the autism spectrum, shares her nearly eight-year struggle with kratom addiction, which began when trusted family members introduced her to the substance as a safe, legal alternative to opioids. Her use escalated from powder capsules to concentrated liquid extracts, costing her around $200 a week, draining her finances, and leaving her emotionally numb and unable to be present for her family. Two frightening episodes of withdrawal seizures during sleep, confirmed by a neurologist as kratom-related, ultimately gave her the push she needed to quit for good on September 19, 2025.

    E196 Alex M.

    Lily talks with Alex M. from east Texas. Initially using Kratom in 2022 to boost afternoon productivity while juggling church ministry and a web design side hustle as a new father, Alex quickly escalated from one daily dose of powder to taking high-dose mitragynine extract tablets four times a day over three years. He hid the extent of his use from his wife. His turning point came about a month before a planned Disney World trip, when he realized he couldn't enjoy the "happiest place on earth" without the drug in his system, prompting him to confess to his wife and quit cold turkey. Now approaching a year sober, Alex reflects on how Kratom had numbed his emotions, disconnected him from his family, and caused numerous physical side effects he'd mistaken for aging, each of which resolved after quitting.

    E195 Tyler

    Lauren interviews Tyler about his trip to Mexico to use Ibogaine to quit kratom. After many prior attempts to stop in the years before, this treatment helped to reset his brain enough to get on the right track and finally achieve abstinence for just over six months at the date of interview. NOTE: Ibogaine comes with some risks, and it is important to research these, and to screen the quality and check the references of any provider to ensure safety.   TO TELL YOUR STORY ON THE PODCAST? https://forms.gle/VWrjhLSTPHqJyVhw7    QUITTING KRATOM SUPPORT MEETINGS https://www.kratommeetings.com        CONNECT WITH US https://www.instagram.com/kratomsobriety        https://twitter.com/kratomsobriety      https://www.tiktok.com/@krat0ms0briety       https://www.youtube.com/@KratomSobriety        https://www.facebook.com/kratomsobriety    https://bsky.app/profile/kratomsobriety.bsky.social  https://www.threads.net/@kratomsobriety        CONTACT THE SHOW Voice: 313-437-7720 Email: kratomsobriety@gmail.com      https://kratomsobriety.com         PLEASE LEAVE A REVIEW https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/kratom-addiction/id1685569424  https://www.audible.com/podcast/Kratom-Addiction/B0C3YHDLV5   https://open.spotify.com/show/4GkQiYu6S8IBn8qswyVm00

Drawing from his experience in alcohol recovery for six years, this week's guest (a 40-something divorced dad of two) relied on a range of tools and resources to quit kratom a half a year ago.   TO TELL YOUR STORY ON THE PODCAST? https://forms.gle/VWrjhLSTPHqJyVhw7    QUITTING KRATOM SUPPORT MEETINGS https://www.kratommeetings.com        CONNECT WITH US https://www.instagram.com/kratomsobriety        https://twitter.com/kratomsobriety      https://www.tiktok.com/@krat0ms0briety       https://www.youtube.com/@KratomSobriety        https://www.facebook.com/kratomsobriety    https://bsky.app/profile/kratomsobriety.bsky.social  https://www.threads.net/@kratomsobriety        CONTACT THE SHOW Voice: 313-437-7720 Email: kratomsobriety@gmail.com      https://kratomsobriety.com         PLEASE LEAVE A REVIEW https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/kratom-addiction/id1685569424  https://www.audible.com/podcast/Kratom-Addiction/B0C3YHDLV5   https://open.spotify.com/show/4GkQiYu6S8IBn8qswyVm00
