After quitting, I developed intense anxiety and head pressure that I believed was permanent brain damage from Muay Thai. I later discovered much of what I was experiencing was anxiety and nicotine withdrawal. After a single therapy session, I was told i had severe anxiety I was offered anti-anxiety medication. While I know medication helps many people, it didn't feel like the right starting point for me as I've seen the long term effect of pharmaceutical medication. I still didn't understand why I felt the way I did, and I wanted answers before anything else. During my recovery, I spent months using AI to work through cravings, overthinking and panic. It helped me understand what was happening, feel less alone and keep moving forward one day at a time. Growing up around addiction also showed me how deeply it can affect families. Those experiences inspired me to build the app I wish I'd had during the hardest period of my life. Ura exists because nobody should have to face panic attacks, addiction or overwhelming anxiety alone. PREMIUM Premium includes unlimited AI conversations, advanced Journey guidance, full Stats & Insights and additional recovery tools.
