After hitting rock bottom with car accidents, job loss, and a hospital intervention, she found recovery through AA meetings, running, and the support of her family and fiancé.

Jude shares her journey from using kratom as an opiate withdrawal aid in 2019 to escalating to 4-5 expensive extract shots daily, culminating in a terrifying over consumption incident at Toronto airport where she could barely walk to her gate. After a relapse following her first quit attempt, she achieved lasting sobriety in May 2025 through a managed taper with Reaction Recovery, discovering that her severe memory problems—which she feared were early-onset dementia—were entirely caused by kratom and have since resolved. Now 8 months sober, she emphasizes that minimizing your story by thinking you're "not sick enough" is a defense mechanism that keeps you trapped. She and Charlie warn about the escalating danger of new kratom derivatives like 7-OH
