In the intro, Jacob talks about the importance of a positivity mindset. In the interview, Lily chats with James K., a professional cameraman from San Diego. He initially believed kratom to be a natural remedy, but it led to severe addiction alongside struggles with alcohol, marijuana, and opiates. He found kratom to involve intense withdrawals and found therapy and a healthy lifestyle key in sustaining his recovery.

Lily and Nolan talk about sleep issues in the weeks after you quit kratom.

NOTE: Jen and Matt are living in FEMA temporary housing post a Florida disaster and have a pop-up emergency internet connection, which caused audio issues in the interview recording. We did the best we could to improve the quality but there are several spots were the guests fade out a little, so please accept our apologies.

This week, a couple discuss their quitting journey with Jacob. Born in the 1960s, Matt and Jen both turned to kratom to get off of stronger prescription and street drugs. About 13 years ago, Matt ALMOST (this was one of the audio snafus) lost his leg during a surgery and was prescribed fentanyl patches for pain. Later using kratom as a ramp off and a substitute to such pharmaceuticals, Matt was up to 60g of powder a day and then switched to extracts as he could not stomach kratom powder anymore. After many relapses trying to quit kratom and other drugs, they both decided to try Medicated Assisted Treatment (MAT) in January 2023. Matt plans to taper off buprenorphine with the injectable option known as Sublocade this year. Despite many tough times, including the losses of a pet, car and home, they successfully interrupted their kratom addiction, and have not become dependent again over the last couple years. Matt warns against the use of 7ohm based on a week of him turning to this kratom alkaloid isolate product when he was out-of-town without buprenorphine.

Nolan interviews expert guest Eli Cohen, a personal injury attorney at the Wetherington Law Firm in Atlanta, Georgia. Eli specializes in product liability and kratom-related wrongful death cases. A former SWAT officer and current Army Reserve intelligence officer, he brings over 17 years of combined legal and law enforcement experience to his advocacy for consumer safety. In this episode, Eli discusses the lack of federal regulation around kratom, the misleading use of “not for human consumption” labeling, and the legal strategies used to hold manufacturers accountable for harm.  He offers his cell number at 470-880-8222.  https://wfirm.com/attorney/eli-cohen/

Lily speaks with Jacob about joining as a co-host along with our other hosts. Charlie interviews Kristen and her journey through several relapses and failed attempts at using MAT to quit kratom. Serving kratom at her wedding, Kristen found herself going through withdrawals for the first time during her honeymoon. But it took a while for her to get to the three-month mark kratom free, and she now has a path forward to maintain both kratom and alcohol abstinence.

For two years, this little DIY podcast was labeled "Kratom Addiction" in the distribution settings, even though the official title of the podcast was "Kratom Sobriety". We have received multiple reports that people have trouble finding us because of this name mismatch. So as of June 4, 2025, we have changed the title to "KS". This episode is a test to see if that modification blows up the RSS feed, breaks links or messes up listener's subscriptions. 

BY THE WAY, this will be deleted in a couple days!

Let us know if anything gets broken along the way to your device. The original reason we used "addiction", we didn't want to imply the pod was about achieving sobriety through the use of kratom. However, we have gotten enough complaints that it seems likes we should address the issue. Send us any feedback by email or via social media.

In the opening segment, Jacob talks about his need to and what he did to kick his recovery work into a new gear after a couple years off kratom.  Never addicted to anything before other than caffeine, Ryan S. talks about his progression from powder to extracts to 7ohm products, and his many failed attempts to quit before he went to a seven-day detox center in January 2025. After a family tragedy and strong urges to use kratom again, Ryan S. decided to pursue medicated assisted treatment to part of a relapse prevention strategy to maintain kratom assistance long-term.
