“We Won’t Give Addiction Another Minute”-Episode10-audioonly

In this powerful tenth episode of Feral But Sober, Leanna sits down with Kandra—a longtime friend, former housemate, and someone deeply woven into her family and recovery story. Kandra opens up about growing up in a household shaped by addiction, losing her father early, and following the path of her older sisters into substance use. From weed to pills, meth, heroin, and crack, her journey includes multiple stints in prison, rehab, and surviving an abusive relationship. Together, Leanna and Kandra reflect on their shared confessions, the chaos they lived through, and the daughters Kandra lost along the way. Now a stay-at-home mom to a toddler who is her whole world, Kandra shares how she used MAT and eventually Sublocade to taper off without withdrawals—reclaiming her life, her peace, and her future. She also speaks about the healing process of reconnecting with her oldest daughter, rebuilding trust, and nurturing a strong relationship after years of separation. This episode was co-hosted live on TikTok, bringing a new visual format to Feral But Sober and a wider audience to this brutally honest conversation. It’s a testament to survival, sisterhood, and the radical act of never giving addiction another minute.
