People With Lived Kratom Addiction Experience - Documentary

Documentary filmmaker hoping to learn from people with lived experience of kratom addiction and recovery Hi everyone, I've been reading this community for a while as part of research for a short documentary project I'm developing about kratom addiction and recovery. I'm a documentary filmmaker based in Southern California, and one thing I've noticed is that a lot of public conversations about kratom don't fully capture the experiences of people who have struggled with dependence, withdrawal, relapse, recovery, or the impact it has had on their families and daily lives. I'm looking to speak with people who have firsthand experience with kratom use—whether you're currently trying to quit, have been off kratom for years, or are somewhere in between. At this stage, I'm primarily interested in listening and learning. There is absolutely no obligation to be filmed, and any conversations would be confidential unless we later agreed otherwise. If you'd be open to chatting, please send me a DM. Even if you're not interested in participating, I'd also appreciate any advice on what you think people misunderstand most about kratom addiction and recovery. Thank you, and congratulations to everyone here who is working toward recovery.
