I'm working on a documentary about kratom and am hoping to connect with people who have had positive experiences with it. I'd love to better understand your perspective and why you support kratom.

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.

Hi everyone,
My name is Sarah, and I’m a documentary film student at Chapman University working on my senior thesis film. I’m hoping to make a short, character-driven documentary about someone navigating recovery from kratom addiction and rebuilding their life.
The goal of the film is to tell a human and hopeful story about resilience — focusing on the day-to-day reality of recovery rather than sensationalizing addiction. I’m especially interested in following someone who is working toward a meaningful milestone or goal in their life while staying sober (for example, reconnecting with family, hitting a sobriety milestone, pursuing a passion, etc.).
Ideally, I’m hoping to connect with someone located in Southern California, but I’m also willing and able to travel for the right story.
If anyone here is open to sharing their story or having a conversation about their experience with kratom, I would really appreciate the chance to talk. There’s absolutely no pressure — even just hearing about people’s journeys helps me better understand recovery.
Participation would always be completely voluntary, and I want to approach this project with care and respect for the people involved.
If you’d be open to chatting, feel free to comment or DM me.
Thank you all for sharing your experiences and supporting each other here.
