Kratom Stole 8 Years of His Life. Here's How Jarred Got It Back. | Sober Spill Ep.48

from Sober Spill · host Mountainside

What does it feel like to be addicted to something most people have never heard of — and feel too ashamed to even talk about it? In this raw and deeply personal episode of Sober Spill, Jana Wu sits down with Jarred, a kratom recovery advocate who spent eight years addicted to kratom powder. Jarred takes us through taking a "focus supplement" to the years of denial as his body slowly broke down. He shares how a Facebook group, an online recovery meeting, and Mountainside's kratom support community became the lifeline that saved him. Now nearly two years sober from kratom, cannabis, alcohol and more, Jarred is giving back and helping hundreds of others navigate one of the most isolating and misunderstood addictions of our time. This is a conversation about shame, community, resilience, and what real recovery actually looks like. #SoberSpillPodcast #KratomRecovery #KratomAddiction #SoberPodcast #Addiction Recovery For more info about our Sober Spill Podcast, check us out at https://www.soberspillpodcast.com/ Families heal together — explore our Family Wellness services at https://www.mountainside.com/treatment/offerings/family-wellness/ Get connected with a mentor, spiritual guide and support system to hello you adjust to a new sober life at https://www.mountainside.com/treatment/programs/recovery-coaching/
