E205 Hans

This week Hans shares his quitting story with Lauren. 35 years old working in a high-stress corporate consulting career, Hans is ambitious and fitness-driven. In his late teens and early twenties, he was addicted to opiates, completed a 30-day rehab and has been clean from those drugs for 13 years. Around three years ago, he decided to quit drinking and began using kratom extracts in the evenings as a substitute. Combined with Adderall for work, togeather this made him feel "superhuman".

This eventually became unsustainable. Hans began a cycle of quit attempts (going 70 days, 49 days, and 40 days clean) each time relapsing. In 2025, curiosity led him to try 7-OH. He was immediately alarmed by how much it reminded him of his opiate days, but still became quickly addicted. That lead to two inpatient treatment programs and taking FMLA leave from work in the last year.

His current sober date is April 27, 2026, giving him 50 days at the time of recording. His 7-OH sobriety date remains April 5, 2025, 14 months clean. Han's recovery toolkit includes 12-step meetings, a sponsor, a tight-knit sober brotherhood from treatment, sober softball, sauna and cold plunge sessions, yoga, breathwork, meditation, gratitude journaling, and strict daily routines around sleep and exercise.
