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.

John D. shares his story with much resolve, verve and wisdom. He covers several really huge topics: 1) How you can go for even years without serious addiction to kratom; 2) How that then sneakily progresses into a real dependency that often shocks people; 3) But then he tried to get off with extracts; 4) And then even graduated to the next level with 7ohm 5) AND an excellent rehab experience.
