E190 Jack

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.   EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing) Resources: www.rosawilcoxlcsw.com [http://www.rosawilcoxlcsw.com/] https://www.emdr.com/ [https://www.emdr.com/] https://www.emdria.org/ [https://www.emdria.org/] https://www.emdr.com/product/getting-past-your-past-take-control-of-your-life-with-self-help-techniques-from-emdr-therapy/ [https://www.emdr.com/product/getting-past-your-past-take-control-of-your-life-with-self-help-techniques-from-emdr-therapy/] https://youtu.be/Pkfln-ZtWeY?si=l5RnDIbE7k5c46gx [https://youtu.be/Pkfln-ZtWeY?si=l5RnDIbE7k5c46gx]   WANT TO TELL YOUR STORY ON THE PODCAST? https://forms.gle/VWrjhLSTPHqJyVhw7 [https://forms.gle/VWrjhLSTPHqJyVhw7]    QUITTING KRATOM SUPPORT MEETINGS https://www.kratommeetings.com [https://www.kratommeetings.com/]        CONNECT WITH US https://www.instagram.com/kratomsobriety [https://www.instagram.com/kratomsobriety]        https://twitter.com/kratomsobriety [https://twitter.com/kratomsobriety]      https://www.tiktok.com/@krat0ms0briety [https://www.tiktok.com/@krat0ms0briety]       https://www.youtube.com/@KratomSobriety [https://www.youtube.com/@KratomSobriety]        https://www.facebook.com/kratomsobriety [https://www.facebook.com/kratomsobriety]    https://bsky.app/profile/kratomsobriety.bsky.social [https://bsky.app/profile/kratomsobriety.bsky.social]  https://www.threads.net/@kratomsobriety [https://www.threads.net/@kratomsobriety]        CONTACT THE SHOW Voice: 313-437-7720 Email: kratomsobriety@gmail.com [kratomsobriety@gmail.com]      https://kratomsobriety.com [https://kratomsobriety.com/]         PLEASE LEAVE A REVIEW https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/kratom-addiction/id1685569424 [https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/kratom-addiction/id1685569424]  https://www.audible.com/podcast/Kratom-Addiction/B0C3YHDLV5 [https://www.audible.com/podcast/Kratom-Addiction/B0C3YHDLV5]   https://open.spotify.com/show/4GkQiYu6S8IBn8qswyVm00 [https://open.spotify.com/show/4GkQiYu6S8IBn8qswyVm00]

E189 Tiffany

Lauren and Jacob discuss consequences.  PLEASE excuse some audio issues in the open, the original recording got corrupted and we did our best to rescue it. Tiffany shares her harrowing journey from kratom addiction to one year of sobriety, detailing how what started as a "plant supplement" for anxiety quickly spiraled into round-the-clock dependence and a near-death experience. After enduring multiple detox attempts, inpatient treatment, a custody battle, and job loss, she found freedom through community support, faith, and pure determination. Now running a juice bar and rebuilding her life, Tiffany offers hope to anyone struggling with kratom, proving that recovery is possible and that life on the other side is better than one can imagine.   WANT TO TELL YOUR STORY ON THE PODCAST? https://forms.gle/VWrjhLSTPHqJyVhw7 [https://forms.gle/VWrjhLSTPHqJyVhw7]    QUITTING KRATOM SUPPORT MEETINGS https://www.kratommeetings.com [https://www.kratommeetings.com/]        CONNECT WITH US https://www.instagram.com/kratomsobriety [https://www.instagram.com/kratomsobriety]        https://twitter.com/kratomsobriety [https://twitter.com/kratomsobriety]      https://www.tiktok.com/@krat0ms0briety [https://www.tiktok.com/@krat0ms0briety]       https://www.youtube.com/@KratomSobriety [https://www.youtube.com/@KratomSobriety]        https://www.facebook.com/kratomsobriety [https://www.facebook.com/kratomsobriety]    https://bsky.app/profile/kratomsobriety.bsky.social [https://bsky.app/profile/kratomsobriety.bsky.social]  https://www.threads.net/@kratomsobriety [https://www.threads.net/@kratomsobriety]        CONTACT THE SHOW Voice: 313-437-7720 Email: kratomsobriety@gmail.com [kratomsobriety@gmail.com]      https://kratomsobriety.com [https://kratomsobriety.com/]         PLEASE LEAVE A REVIEW https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/kratom-addiction/id1685569424 [https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/kratom-addiction/id1685569424]  https://www.audible.com/podcast/Kratom-Addiction/B0C3YHDLV5 [https://www.audible.com/podcast/Kratom-Addiction/B0C3YHDLV5]         https://open.spotify.com/show/4GkQiYu6S8IBn8qswyVm00 [https://open.spotify.com/show/4GkQiYu6S8IBn8qswyVm00]
