    I started doing drugs since my teenage, got addicted to cocaine. Spent my whole life fighting cocaine addiction. I suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Got diagnosed with OCD. 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.

      Hey mates! Can you help with the source? I suffer severe anxiety, panic and depression and I usually take prescription medicine, but they don't always help. Where can I find those psilocybin mushrooms? I'm really interested in treating my mental health without Rxs. I live in Germany don't know much about these. I'm so glad they helped you. I can't wait to get them too. Really need a reliable source 🙏

      Congrats! I'm really happy for you that your wife decided to help you. I always admire those who beat their addiction. Knowing it's possible to fix your life knowing there's people out there that have done what I thought was impossible gives me hope I will make it through as well. Those who share their experiences don't know how much it helps when you're about to give up, it gives you the strength knowing somone who actully know what it's like to go through this tell you it's possible, it's not the same somone telling you you can do it when they have no idea what it's like, but hearing somone who knows what it's like that helps a lot since you understand it firsthand and made it out gives so much hope. so thanks for sharing.

      This type of honesty is much easier than the interior shame, guilt, and hopelessness. Maybe not for every addict, but when you're a crackhead your secrets keep you sick. Owning those secrets is the way away from the pipe, maybe the only permanent way. I misspent 20 years afraid and ashamed. I'm not either anymore, 6 years free 3/22.

    This man is trying his best, he is off the drugs and he has a kiddo. Now stories over coming addiction is just amazing. As a former addict myself, I love hearing people sober up and take control of their lives. I am proud of anyone choosing to be sober, no matter where they come from. Being sober and staying sober is hard but the rewards after being sober is all worth it.

    I'm trying to come off heroin at the moment. One of the effects is emotions which have been suppressed for so long coming back through. This really tore me up because I know so many people who have lived a similar life, and are just treated as human vermin. We live in a very cruel and sad world

    I'm going on at least 18 years using cocaine. Last use, yesterday. I have no experience with crime or violence, but what this man was saying about his habit and how it related to relationships was closest to my experience as I've ever heard another man tell it. Couldn't have told my own take on it better. What a charming fellow. I'm so glad he's kept his mind. His testimony has me thinking.

    Despite everything this man went through, despite never being shown love, he was merciful and looked out for people. When a hit was put out on someone, he was honest with them and gave them an out without causing horrible pain and suffering. He saved a woman from prostitution, gave her support when nobody else would. I honestly don’t understand why love is withheld from such beautiful souls. My heart goes out to him.
