    I truly appreciate everyone who has supported my mission. I love you all thank you!
    I have found that everyone suffers with addiction in different ways, we just suffer from a drug one. I journeyed my detox/ withdrawal off heroin from day 5 all the way to the present. I have journaled many experiences and have shown many of my stories on my channel. During this process I have learned much and continue to learn. I have found that we addicts need new people, places and things for sure!
    People Overdosing and dying from addiction is real! I detoxed off heroin and know what its like to be stuck and not be able to stop using drugs. Intervention is sometimes necessary because I know the mind of an addict first hand. The way these drugs feel consumes the addict and they cannot think of stopping and follow through without proper help from others.
    Addiction can be overcome. Cocaine, alcohol, benzos, adderal, ecstacy, opioids, heroin, steroids & mushrooms are just some of the drugs that I have tried. I wasn't addicted to all of those listed but I have experimented with these. The war on drugs is stupid and the stigma on drug addicts needs to change in order to help the drug addiction issues within America.

    I started doing drugs since my teenage, got addicted to heroin. Spent my whole life fighting heroin addiction. I suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Not until my wife recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 8 years totally clean. Never thought I would be saying this about mushrooms.

I don't know much about these mushrooms. Really need a reliable source!! Can't wait to get them.

      Thanks to everyone for helping me understand, I want to understand if it's
      something that can help me solve the problem (I have c-ptsd)

    • @JesseJason-qc7ug
      @JesseJason-qc7ug 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      From my experience it really works excellently! It doesnt even need to be a full hit. With potent shrooms 2-3 small ones will still make a difference. It will be a few hour cosy rumbling arount in bed time, not being able to sleep with a brain in full gear and some color effects on the walls but afterwards its just calm and you feel amazing and gain your freedom. Psilocybin is different dudes, its the only "drug" I would recommend to someone who genuinely wants to get better. There is no addiction, withdrawal, or negative side effects. It's just pure healing., far more effective than any anti-depressant. You can thank me later

      The triggers are the worst they can last years, it's like when you quit smoking everything triggers you at the start accept opioid triggers are slightly different you almost become euphoric thinking about it or you will walk past a place that you were high.

    My dad was an opioid addict.
    He would get high amounts of OxyContin daily for 14 years until his death, to treat severe chronic pain.
    He said, being dope-sick is worse than the actual pain from his chronic Pancreatitis.
    He told me "never accept opiod medication, it's hell"
    At one point he wanted to escape his addiction and he stopped taking the OxyContin, after 7-8 days he realized that the dope-sickness only got worse, there was no sign of it ending, and he eventually gave up.

I was never on heroin, thank the good Lord above. But the struggle of addiction is hard no matter what you're addicted to. It's still an every day battle for me. But you're damn sure I remember the withdrawal and I be damned if I ever go through that again. Congratulations on your success! Super proud of you on fighting this nasty demon🖤

      Why people initially take and then why they continue to use has always been separate things in my experience. I continued to use because I would be sick as hell without it. I used so I could feel normal and get up in the morning. When I first did opiates they actually made me sick. The same thing with alcohol and nicotine. It does start to feel euphoric but that stage doesnt seem to last very long. Any euphoria I started to feel was the instant relief in not feeling like death minutes before.

Zero symptoms other then sweating if I didn’t stay in AC or by a fan but nothing like what it could have been. It got me to day 11 then slight discomfort not taking anything anymore but skipped horrible withdrawals doing that. I had a 10 year straight high high dose habit too zero clean time I those 10 years.

      I came off methadone and heroin cold turkey after 10 years of daily use and am six years clean with a wonderful life. Work out every day and feel good. Coming off cold a high dose like that after that many years is so far beyond the flu that it can't even be compared. The misery and hell cannot be put into words. And getting a severe flu can be pretty miserable, but this was so far beyond the flu that I would have given my house up to trade that dope sickness for the flu or pretty much any sickness. Sickest I ever was in my life by far, plus the mental aspect which you mentioned, which is in a lot of ways ever worse, close to the point of unbearable. I can see how the mental aspect can break a person for sure, which is why some people commit suicide in severe withdrawal. I always hated when people compared opiate withdrawal to the flu. Their are also different levels to opiate withdrawal. Methadone is strong shit and the withdrawal when coming off is nothing short of hell.
