This week's guest Bob from Philly talks with Charlie about his disordered use of kratom extracts escalating to 7-OH over a period of three years. He said it was the only substance he had to go "get more" when it ran out. Bob quit cold turkey with the help of faith and music, and is trying to retrain his brain to do activities he used to mostly enjoy by loading up on kratom. Shout out to his auto mechanic buddy - they listen to the podcast every Monday and discuss (thanks!).

Lily & Rosa in the open discuss Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing (EMDR) as treatment option for those struggling with trauma. Rosa interviews Jack, a 33-year-old miner from Nevada who developed a severe dependence on kava-kratom drinks after struggling with addiction throughout his life. After years of denial and hiding his use, he quit by telling his loved ones and pushing through an intense six-day withdrawal. Jack now relies on healthier habits like working out and focusing on honesty and accountability.

Jude shares her journey from using kratom as an opiate withdrawal aid in 2019 to escalating to 4-5 expensive extract shots daily, culminating in a terrifying over consumption incident at Toronto airport where she could barely walk to her gate. After a relapse following her first quit attempt, she achieved lasting sobriety in May 2025 through a managed taper with Reaction Recovery, discovering that her severe memory problems—which she feared were early-onset dementia—were entirely caused by kratom and have since resolved. Now 8 months sober, she emphasizes that minimizing your story by thinking you're "not sick enough" is a defense mechanism that keeps you trapped. She and Charlie warn about the escalating danger of new kratom derivatives like 7-OH
