Ep 35: Finding Freedom with Kratom: Mike Felicetta's Path to Recovery
From social worker to struggling addict, Mike Felicetta's life took a dark turn after a back injury led him down a path of opioid dependence. Years of battling addiction, rehabs, and even resorting to heroin left Mike feeling trapped. However, a chance encounter with someone purchasing Kratom at a gas station sparked a glimmer of hope. Though his initial reliance on extracts threatened to replace one addiction for another, Mike found guidance within the Kratom community. With the help of individuals like Jordan Richard of New Hope Botanicals, he transitioned to whole-leaf powder and discovered a path towards true healing. Mike's story is a powerful testament to Kratom's potential, but he's also a voice of caution. He stresses the importance of informed, responsible use, steering clear of extracts, and advocating for third-party tested products from reputable vendors. Kratom, for Mike, wasn't a magic eraser that instantly wiped away addiction. Instead, it gave him the breathing room he needed to address the root causes of his struggles, ultimately enabling him to build a fulfilling life and a newfound appreciation for the plant. -RELATED LINKS - Madalyn's TikTok Jordan Richard from New Hope Botanicals - TikTok New Hope Botanicals - 10% off with code: KratomStories New Hope Super Green Ultra - Madalyn's favorite.
