Special episode on PAWS (Post-Acute Withdrawal Syndrome). Nick B. discusses his three ibogaine treatments to address his kratom addiction. Nick on confronting the root of addiction: “Odds are your drug addiction comes from some sort of trauma… really try to focus on your traumas. It took me a long time to realize that.” On not doing it alone: “Ask for help. It sucks. It’s embarrassing… but I can guarantee you will feel so much better after you ask for help. So much better.”
