Ep 74: Stephanie’s Journey: Finding Freedom from Addiction and Pain with Kratom
Stephanie shares how Kratom helped her overcome opioid addiction, manage chronic pain, and win her family’s support. Her story highlights advocacy, safe use, and the power of this plant.
Stephanie shares her powerful journey of overcoming opioid addiction and chronic pain with the help of Kratom. After a horseback riding accident left her with lifelong pain, she turned to prescription medications, which eventually spiraled into addiction. While searching online for ways to stop, she discovered Kratom and was able to quit opioids without rehab. Over the last nine years, she has found Kratom to be the only consistent solution that relieves her back pain, eases her anxiety and depression, and supports her overall well-being. She even gained the support of her family by openly educating them, transforming their initial concern into full acceptance as they saw her life improve.
In this episode, Stephanie and Madalyn discuss the differences between Kratom leaf powder and products like 7OH, the role of tolerance and strain rotation, and how misinformation and bans create unnecessary fear and harm for consumers. Stephanie explains how Kratom allows her to work demanding 12-hour shifts in veterinary emergency care, manage flare-ups, and even recover from a recent car accident without resorting to opioids. Her story is a testament to how Kratom can restore quality of life and empower people to move forward free from addiction and pain.

I'm a 33 year old female who works with animals in a professional setting. I injured my back as a teenager by falling off of a horse and have dealt with the pain since then. My life has taken some dramatic twists and turns including drug addiction. With kratom I was able to quit opioids and have a happy normal life again. I still use kratom today to help with the pain. My life was a horror story for so long but now I'm happy, healthy, and chasing my dreams again.
