E42 Nick G.

Relapse prevention discussion. Nick G. (episode was formerly named Nicolas) describes his quitting experience as follows:

* Prescription opiate background

* Getting hard into extracts after back surgery

* Being an entrepreneur and juggling kratom addiction

* Going through divorce in the middle of severe kratom suffering

* Checking myself in detox and 30 days of treatment

* Relapsing the next day

* Oral naltrexone 

* Multiple rounds on and off Vivitrol- benefits and pitfalls 

* Suboxone

* Experimenting with Sublocade 

* At one point, hiring a sober companion to follow me from work to home because I literally couldn't stop

* Experience with a number of different meds to get off 

* Being in active recovery

* Cold turkey withdrawals

* Massive longevity with PAWS 

* More Relapses

* Strong views after 2 years of active participation and serving as in admin in rooms within our growing but still very immature Kratom recovery community 

* Another relapse or two 

* Finding out my testosterone is at scary low levels
