Nick Clark was addicted to opiates and homeless by the age of 17. His father was a crack addict, and his girlfriend (now wife) shared his opiate addiction. Nick Clark’s military career didn’t end well, but he says he’s earned a “Junkie Badge of Honor” for dancing at a New Orleans strip club to earn money to buy drugs. After going AWOL from the National Guard and losing custody of his children, Nick detoxed and has been 3 years opiate-free with the help of kratom. Even though he says he does a lot of kratom, he seems to be leading a stable life after growing up in chaos. This is Nick Clark. This is his kratom story.
