Kratom Sobriety23 Apr 2025

E139 James T.

NOTE: This is our last regular Wednesday interview with a kratom quitter as we are going back to once-a-week guests talking about their quitting journey on Sundays with occasional Wednesday special episodes.

An engineering professional from New Mexico, James started using kratom three years ago as a remedy for his severe IBS. Drawn in by a posh kratom dispensary experience that marketed the drug as a benign supplement, his use escalated from 5 grams per day to upward of 30–50 grams daily, leading to severe health consequences including hospitalization for bowel impaction. After a traumatic withdrawal and ineffective attempts with doctor prescribed ketamine, benzos, and mental health medications, James eventually found stability through Suboxone, tapering down to 0.5 mg while rebuilding his life and mental health. He now advocates for medical-assisted treatment as a valid recovery pathway. He emphasizes the need for regulation and honest education around kratom. James encourages others to explore diverse recovery tools, be open-minded, and prioritize community support, while also offering himself as a resource for quitting.
