Hilary Took 100 Kratom Pills a Day While Counseling Addiction Patients | Sober Spill Ep.57

from Sober Spill · host Mountainside

In this episode of Sober Spill, Jana sits down with Hilary - Executive Director of End Kratom Addiction, co-founder of the first kratom-specific recovery community, and long-term kratom survivor. Hilary opens up about starting kratom at 21 as a "natural anxiety remedy" and spiraling to 100 capsules a day while working as a certified peer support specialist for substance use disorders — living a double life she could barely reconcile. She breaks down the biggest misconceptions lawmakers and the public have about kratom, why the "kratom is fine but 7-hydroxymitragynine is bad" argument is dangerously flawed, and how powerful industry lobbying is quietly shaping policy across America. A conversation about courage, policy, and why the kratom industry's billions cannot be allowed to silence the people it has harmed. #SoberSpillPodcast #EndKratomAddiction #KratomAwareness #KratomPolicy #KratomRecovery #QuittingKratom #KratomBan #RecoveryPodcast
