    Alcohol and cigarettes addiction actually destroyed my life. I could remember several years ago after divorce with my husband which brought me into my disastrous journey on Alcohol and cigarettes. I suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Got diagnosed with cptsd. Not until a friend recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 8 years totally clean. Much respect to mother nature the great magic shrooms.

      Thanks for sharing your story. That's rough I sympathize. Save your health save your mind. Life is better without heroin, cocaine, alcohol and cigarettes. And you have more money in your pocket. God bless everyone who has rejected the devils intentions to be addicted to alcohol and cigarettes etc which can cause so much damage to health. I will pray for you all.

I'm 56 and have suffered for years with addiction, anxiety and severe ptsd, I got my panic attacks under control myself years ago and they have come back with a vengeance, I'm constantly trying to take full breaths but can't get the full satisfying breath out, it's absolutely crippling me, i live in Germany. I don't know much about these mushrooms. Really need a reliable source!! Can't wait to get them

    I stopped my 27 years of heroin and crack use through meditation and spirituality,of which Advaita vedanta helped most,through teachings of Ramana Maharshi,,,,,Who am I?🙏,..And watching Carl Jung interview when asked,do you believe in God,,no I don't believe,,I know,,,that just resonated with me and is always in my mind,,that was when I was still hopelessly addicted and desperate for a way out,,watching that Jung interview was the beginning of my recovery,, I'm now 54 and happier healthier than I've been since I was a teenager,,I now have good close relationships with my parents all my children and their mams and my grandchildren are amazing and I am so close to them..And,I now,like CGJung,I know too❤🙏

    **Whispers of the Hungry Ghost**
    In the quiet halls of self-discovery's maze,
    Lies the seed of addiction, a smoldering blaze.
    A thirst unquenched, a ceaseless addiction,
    The hungry ghost roams, a tale of affliction.
    Drink, sex, drugs, in the dance of despair,
    Hungry ghost, hungry ghost, a soliloquy of care.
    In desperation's grip, we continue the fight,
    Rebirth fuels the energy, through day and night.
    Death claims the body, but not the craving,
    In addiction's trap, it's the soul we're saving.
    Changes beckon, compulsion's tight grip,
    Drink, sex, drugs, in this endless trip.
    Transcend the physical, break free from the cage,
    Enter the spiritual dimension, the true sage.
    Manifestation of will, the soul's earnest plea,
    From sickness to health, let the self be free.

      Balance is the key when the stuff is good. With alcohol, there is never any balance. Alcohol is a toxin that does destroy brain cells. After drinking alcohol regularly people become figments of their true self. They stop growing, they stop evolving and most digress. Balance only works when you don’t do things that hurt the body

      I don‘t agree. In some aspect yes but when it comes to substance abuse I can only say every drug that will temporarily reliefs you from your struggles is absolutely demonic and should never be touched ever.
      I was deep in the void. Addicted to stronger and heavier drugs. I thought I hit rock bottom but trust me it can get worse if you misuse drugs. You can’t control it, you may think so I thought so too. But opiate addiction is a one way ticket down to despair and death, no other way.

I know people who have overcome it so it is not necessarily a one way ticket to despair and the other thing you said. I agree it is good just never to touch it but for those who have it's not a good message for them to think they can never recover so they won't bother trying.

      God’s weapons for victory
      WORD FOR TODAY
      Wed 3rd July 2024
      ‘I use God’s mighty weapons, not those made by men.’ 2 Corinthians 10:4 TLB
      Before doing battle with Syria, Joab told his brother, ‘If [they] are too strong for me, then you shall help me; but if the people of Ammon are too strong for you, then I will help you’ (1 Chronicles 19:12 NKJV). If one was overwhelmed, the other could step in and help.
      Spiritual warfare is different, however. We’re not wrestling with ‘flesh and blood, but against principalities…powers…rulers of the darkness…[and] spiritual hosts of wickedness’ (Ephesians 6:12 NKJV). And wrestling is a one-on-one struggle that means getting up close and personal, going toe-to-toe with your opponent. When David faced Goliath, the giant was so sure of himself that he announced to all Israel, ‘If he kills me…we will be your slaves. But if I kill him, you will be our slaves’ (1 Samuel 17:9 NLT)! Think about the long-term implications of this. If Goliath prevailed, God’s people would spend their lives serving the enemy. The stakes were incredibly high for Israel - and they are for you too. Satan is out to defeat you, and if you wrestle according to the rules of the flesh, you will lose.
      Just like professional wrestlers have rules they abide by, there are fail-safe spiritual rules designed to work for you. Paul says, ‘We use God’s mighty weapons, not worldly weapons, to knock down the strongholds’ (2 Corinthians 10:4 NLT). The only hope you have of defeating Satan lies in prayer, Christian fellowship, God’s word, the name of Jesus and the blood of Jesus. These five things top the list of powerful weapons given you to defeat the enemy. So use them today!

      It indeed does. My mother couldn’t get past her trauma Iin life so she covered it with alcohol. It was miserable for all of us. And she really hurt my brother. I never understood her but she was hiding stuff that came out on her deathbed- like my grandmother denying her to speak the truth about being sexually abused. It made her die of throat cancer. When I was six years old I had a prophetic dream about my mom choosing the wrong door in life. I woke up frantic and sad and never knew why it affected me until the year before. She was under influence and never overcame in life. Very sad. But I found peace with my sovereignty from within. 💕

    I have recently kicked a habit of drug and alcohol benders which have been the story of the last 25yrs of my life. So many regrets and shame have surfaced after facing the feelings i couldnt face for so long. The most shameful and hardest for me to rid myself from has been gambling which brings me the most shame, regret and anxiety of them all. Ruined relationships through lies and financial ruin are a heavy burden on me. The reality of my actions now i am clean seem alot clearer, but it has been difficult to live with. I thought i would be feeling on top of the world getting clean but the reality of my past actions weigh heavy on my mind. I pray in time i can feel proud again and feel happy of who i am. My thoughts and understanding are with all who suffer from addiction hatever form it may be in. I hope u may all feel free again someday soon.

    The solution to any addiction is the same and can be a great gift. The addiction is only a symptom, the problem is ego centricity. The solution is ego deflation which is what every spiritual practice is about. Less ego-more soul-god-love. The twelve steps are to save one from oneself, twelve traditions from each other. Meaning, one’s ego and group ego. The steps open the door and also point one to continue with prayer and meditation.

    People fight or criticize addiction as if it was a “Lack” of willpower yet it’s often the opposite. I have been and work with e know many addicts and boy! … addicts are SuperHuman no shit.. we do and survive the craziest things Ever . The thing is the divide inside the inability yet insistence on wanting to “feel” how I want when I want to above all else and getting cyclically clutched on it…
    Learning to connect and surrender live in tune with a Higher Power, I call it Holy Spirit yet call it what you will has been essential to me… nothing has been more annoying and profound than overcoming my own mind and how I set it up.. knowing I’m not alone or judged internally has made all the difference.. recovering and becoming free of oneself is pretty much the last and ultimate ride… in my opinion people with severe addiction are sort of trailblazers once everything’s been burnt down yet you don’t give up, as one keeps looking sincerely for a “better way” in my opinion only meeting God (call it what you will) is left

    interesting article and one you probably don't want to hear:
    WE DON’T MENTALLY GROW UP
    Our bodies mature with age but, (and remember there is always a ‘but’ or an ‘if’), our minds don’t “grow up”;
    (grow up defined:
    to gradually become an adult
    (adult defined:
    a person or animal that has grown to full size and strength:)
    AND, as you can see, neither word/definition has to do with the mind, and if you say, “Well, that is understood,” you’re wrong simply because that does not define what the mind does, or in this case, doesn’t do and if you still believe that you will have to try and defined why it’s ‘understood’.
    Be my guest, enlighten me.
    Experience is a teaching process, not a mentally maturing process.
    Experience simply teaches us what and how we can “get away with stuff”, and that’s all - and if that is not so, you have learned nothing.
    And not knowing that, how mentally mature is that?
    If physical maturing was also mentally maturing we would have benevolent rich people and we would not have to be “baby sat” therefor, no governing organizations.
    There would be no police or armed forces (“peace keepers” is a fancy title for one country to direct and control another country) or hunger or wars and way less crime and drug/alcohol abuse and way less abuse of any kind - think about it...but our minds don’t grow up, we just get new and bigger toys with the same irresponsibility of a 4 year old- that’s it, that’s all-period.
    All we do is get better at hiding behind labels and using them as excuses and alibis and until we learn the difference we will remain irresponsible.
    Also see "trigger warnings" and what's with this new proposed Canadian law call "Online Harms Act"?
    Online?? You got to be kidding!!
    Just further proof of our mental stability and do people really believing this crap OR is this just another way for governments to control us?
    How mentally mature is that?
    (today is April 2024 - The Online Harms Act, introduced formally as Bill C-63, will result in the most significant expansion of Canada's hate speech laws and create one of North America's most rigid regulatory environments for media and social media companies.)
    Bottom line:
    Humankind does not "grow up" emotionally.
    We'll leave morality alone because that is tied to religious/superstitious and area customs; way too many deviations.
    Just another area where we “grow up” physically not mentally.
    Any ideas out there?
    Outside of a cattle prod, frankly, I have none.
    Bottom line, we lack self discipline and as long as we have greed and ego we will never grow up.
    re: and we hire people and expect different actions from politicians and are surprised when they behave like the "common" person...
    (Self-discipline is the ability to control yourself and to make yourself work hard or behave in a particular way without needing anyone else to tell you what to do.
    Exercising at home alone requires a tremendous amount of self-discipline with the right goals in mine.)

    As an active addict I must say, kind sir, this is The Most Accurate and Profoundly informative description (that I have found,) of addiction as a process and adaptive reasoning symptom I’ve ever heard. I am aghast at how precise this description is. The need to separate oneself and ironically the feeling of being separate IS the root cause of all addictive behavior, wether from the memories or the current perception of self. You are now placed in direct competition with Dr. Gabor Mate’ for the next Nobel Peace Prize🫵🏽🫶🏽🌹💫 What a gem! liked, shared nd subscribed

    After listening to Allan Watts, Terrence and Denis McKenna, Sad Ghuru, Jordan B Peterson and lattely the "awekening from the meaning crisis" from John Varvaeke and other things, I can see more and more connections between all them and what they say and me, this was one of the only addiction video who gave me a real sense of relief in the sense that it tells me I'm on the right path and that it isn't a will power lack issue. Very interesting. I'm currently trying to make me a riual but I don't know how to do, what to choose. And now how to choose or find a higher power as I'm not religious and I need as John Varvaeke says, something new that replaces what religion does, maybe the psychedelic realm will bring us something we can all agree and connect too, I'm not fully into it yet, only learning about it since a couple years. Something is changing

    As a ex heroin addict I don't agree that alchohol addiction is worse or more fatal. I don't think your life can grasp opioid addiction especially fast acting such as Fentanyl and Heroin. I've seen people die right in front of me, it's the organ failure.

    Wow, right on point! You should look into Naturopathic Medicine if you haven’t already. It’s not all rainbows and butterflies, but it’s definitely part of the future of a functioning healthcare system. If you like botanical medicine as well as eastern and are trained in allopathic medicine already you would probably really vibe with Naturopathic Medicine. In my first year of practice as a resident rn. It’s hard but much more rewarding than what my friends in the conventional model describe.

    Addiction has always been a part of me and my family. Addiction and abuse is what has shaped our iddentity. It is our way of living. It is deeply rooted within us in such a way that we are not even aware of how messed up the situation is. We are bonded by the pain caused to each other. Acostumed to be jumping from one extreme side to the other. Guilt is what allows us to behave kindly to each other. Guilt is what we understand as "careing". Punishment is a very much enjoyed ritual in our family culture. Validation is highly conditioned upon our twisted moral codes. These are the cards that where dealt. I know I will eventually break the cycle. Seeing things without the vail was the hardest part. Accepting the fact that I, my self have been making huge mistakes and living my life in a way that was beyond unexeptable. That is what happens when you face all your acumulated trauma. I'm not allone this time though, I have a cheerfull audience. Hope this helps to show them the way.

People these days just get mad and butt hurt over every little thing and this is a pure wondering of mine so nobody is attacking or singling out anyone just a lady who's honestly just wanting to know.

Wish i could get chips but i think the all or nothing assistance can be harmful to people like me who is able to use psychedelics very responsibly and rarely i shouldn’t be left out . can’t find anyone to sponsor me. i try to be honest because honesty is best policy but im starting to think ill just do the 12 steps and never tell them about the weed or psychedelics . i’m not even actively using psychedelics but they were the reason i got sober in the first place.

    I used to use PCP in order to actually effectively separate from the Self, where ALL the agony is seated for some reason, it worked "wonders" i thought, but guess who came back with full force when i dropped that habit?. I sure learned immeasurable stuff on the way, and i was dissociated from my body more or less for like a year Straight and i got so used to it that no one would ever know that i was not really "there"(not in that person they looked at at least), but i can assure that the "Integration" into myself later was quite tough as you have to face ALL of it at the same time and this most often mean "Psychosis", and that would linger for months until you finally have found all the pieces of yourself(most of it). So i have learned the "hard way"(medium hard i guess) that we really can't get away from it no matter how one tries, not as long as we are in this "Body" at least. It's not that i Personally can't stand the agony of chronic anxiety that eats away every second of the daily life, and later invents nightmares EVERY night without mistake, but rather that i can't stand the thought of others getting "involved" in it(not that they would EVER understand anyway). The pointless suffering from mental health disorders is really Something. The REALLY strange reality today is that "Normal" people(Without ANY diagnosis, or even a possibility to get any), i mean with NO mental health problems(Depression,Anxiety and so on) that STILL can't find any peace. That is something i really can't wrap my head around, besides that i know that you can Never "Feed" the EGO enough for comfort, but that's basic, right?

    For me addiction is a way for me to suppress my inner being because If I was to speak my own individual truth and expose some of the things I believe that have happened to me would upset certain authorities and because of the power of these authorities I would be shut up in an instance. Active addiction for me is the only thing that makes me feel safe because of the belief my head has created, I believe that me using is teaching the world how the mind of an addict works therefore because I believe my addictive behaviour is being monitored and scrutinized and controlled I genuinely believe I am doing good for others whilst having no love or empathy for myself. Some people call it justification but I believe addiction is a created behaviour because it suits an establishment and is a form that is needed to control the world in a way they want it to be , basically a scapegoat

      I can't even remember what it's like to wake up and just be and not have to rely on drugs or Suboxone just to feel normal. I've abused my mind to the point that I don't feel real happiness nor can I feel real reward when I accomplish anything in my life and I've overcome a lot to be writing this to u all but yet I feel enormous change within myself that I am fearful I'll never be able to feel these things normally ever again not without my own induction of these old hateful patterns of using. I just recently gave my life over to God for real life change. I want myself to be who God intended me to b not what my will created bc my will being done has led me to do these things and I don't want to live this anymore. I have not done any pills for nearly a month which is great yes cause it's an exhausting expensive behavior that gives me nothing in return not even the momentary false peace I once felt from these pills. I refuse to level up and move onto the next great thing on the streets which is the fentanyl and the tranq these pushers have made up in their basement bc I know I will die and I've got grandchildren that love me to pieces this world will take if I'm not around to stand my granny ground with them watching over them when the parents are can't. I wanna show my family and my friends especially God that I am what God says I am not what this world says I am which is nothing much past a degenerate drug addict with no worth left. I am worthy and so r u whoever u r. Jesus saves God never caves turn to them and be shown mercy and grace.

    A spiritual experience can also be seen as a resolve that trensforms you. No white light needed. It is about coming to the point where you dare to 'look the pain right in the face', to accept the suffering and understanding what the suffering you have put yourself through really is. I know what is wrong here, I can define it, I understand it, I can describe it and analyse it. Now I can 'look' at it and find a way to work with it, transform it, it will still exist but it does no longer play the part as it did. I will not forget it, I will forgive.
