    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 years ago as a teenage, got addicted to heroin. Spent my whole life fighting heroin addiction. I suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Got diagnosed with cptsd. Not until my wife recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 6 years totally clean. Never thought I would be saying this about mushrooms.

      Can you help me with the reliable source 🙏. 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 Australia. I don't know much about these mushrooms. Really need a reliable source!! Can't wait to get them

      wish they were readily available in my place. Microdosing was my next plan of care for my husband. He is 59 & has so many mental health issues plus probable CTE & a TBI that left him in a coma 8 days. It's too late now I had to get a TPO as he's 6'6 300+ pound homicidal maniac. He's constantly talking about killing someone. He's violent. Anyone reading this Familiar w/ BPD know if it is common for an obsession with violence.

      I was horrifically depressed since childhood. It was relentless. I assumed it would ultimately end me somehow. About twelve years ago I randomly accepted the offer from a friend of a few doses of mushrooms. I did them two consecutive nights alone. First night was pretty mild. The second night? Wow. I saw my depression from every angle, realized much. Next day: depression totally gone. Never came back, never coming back. It's like it's a forest far away I can remember, and could probably find again with enough effort, but it has zero impact on anything in my life or mind. They honestly saved my life and improved it immensely. I never did them again, either. I wish there was a good, organized way to administer them to people who would benefit from them.

But he managed to get into a great treatment centre here in Scotland, called CastleCraig Turned his life around, graduated from Uni and now works to help other addicts find their way back into society.

      @hacksawherkalion8068 8 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      +Derek Lambert I don't think CT is for everyone. I have personally stayed clean getting on methadone/suboxone, and doing a short taper with those, and then get clean without much of withdrawals. It is not how you get clean or what you need to go through but the choices/decisions we make that determine if we will use or not and stay clean. It comes to choice, whether you CT or do it through another substance or whether you have intense WDs or not-it does not matter, it really does not influence your decisions to do opiates. It really comes down to choice. I have CTed many times and always still gone back, same with doing other substances to come off drugs, always gone back, but I made the choice to be done with, made the choice to put my health, my future, family and self-respect first, and was off, it would not have mattered if I had CTed, I still would be where I am now, but CT can affect a lot of people in negative away, it can make them use and God-Forbid over-dose. Many people make the decision to not do drugs, so getting on meth or sub and doing taper with that is the best, IF you CHOOSE to stop. And meetings can help some but again don't make any difference as your still telling yourself that you need these and ur addict, personally I don't want to identify myself as an addict or even ex-addict. I just put it down to bad phase in my life and move forward. Your title is dangerous and misleading, its what worked for u, not necessarily works for everyone. Sorry but why suffer when u don't have to? stopping drugs come from choice and within in, not simply by CT.

    Wow......I have been following your Mythvision page and I LOVE it and I've learned so much then I see this.....how amazing!!! I am about to go thru the same thing with my 29 yr old gran son. He lives in VA and I love in GA. Kinda in a low population area and 45 min south of Atlanta. He has cried and begged me to come here. He said "Gran Mom I need you!" So I'm going to be there with him 100%. I would have never thought you went this route and went thru this!!! I see this was 5 yrs ago for you! Congratulations!!! I needed to see this video!!!

    You are so right about everything you said. There will be pain and tears. Im big on AA or NA meetings cause they do help. So does counceling cause secrets or stuffing makes you sick. Another good advice is get a sponser or home group at an AA or NA meeting. Proud of anyone out there that has or is trying to make a step into sobriety. Life is good!!!

I always lie to myself saying i will just take some subs to get clean and then i will smoke tons of weed lying to myself again saying this will help me get clean when all i am trying to do is numb myself to feeling anything which is what has gotten me into trouble always. Day 1 today and i am ready to start this journey of hell knowing i can do it even though it will be hell and it will be much better than the life i have been leading. Thanks again bro.

    @mymysworld2691 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    Hey man I needed to hear this, not sure how you are doing now but it’s been since I was 17 years old that I’ve been struggling with opiates more recently fentanyl and overall heroin. It has been the hardest and most painful journey of my life. I am 24 and tonight I did my last two bags (insufflated) nasally and now I plan to cease all use going cold turkey. The only method that has worked and because of the pure pain and depression I go through during it all, kicking cold has been how I’ve always stayed clean for any significant time(1y7m in 2014) the memory of the struggle itself is so strong it keeps me sober honestly for the first few months without a problem. I just wanted to say thanks for making me feel not so alone tonight it’s 2 am and I am so scared to start this morning but I have to. Pray for me brother and my girlfriend showed me this video she never used anything not even alcohol or cigarettes; NOT EVEN properly. She has learned a lot throughout all of my AA/NA meetings she’s been with me to and has my back throughout it all and is 100% going to support me this time again. I only have her and luckily I haven’t driven her off with scumbag shit like lying stealing etc. unlike all of my family and old friends. All I have is her and this video gave me an honest and subtle push to keep going that’s a blessing brother, you are a blessing and have helped me with this video I don’t feel as alone in this tiny moment before the intense few days I have coming. I can’t live like this anymore my brother overdosed and was not able to receive narcan or even discovered in quick enough time 2 months ago and I miss him. Somehow through pure grace and miracles all of my overdoses I was revived even by homeless, pedestrians, train commuters, I have lost count🤢. I can’t do it anymore though and I needs the prayers and positive energy of the whole world right now like Goku’s spirit bomb😩🤞🏾🖤. Anyone reading this going through it you’re not alone and it is possible. I will update eventually on my progress and be totally honest with anyone that comments. Thanks Brother 🙏🏾 One Love ☝🏾
    Here we go... into the valley of the shadow of death yet I fear not. For thou art with me. That means all of you out there who also feel my pain. Goodnight everyone.

  • @grahamdillinger7338
    @grahamdillinger7338 8 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    God bless you man. You are speaking the truth. I've been on suboxin for about 2 and a half years following a 4 year oxy contin addiction. I lost everything. The subs have allowed me at least to get most of my life back. I work full time every week and pay my own bills. But I know the time is coming that I will give up the subs for good. There is so much more to life that feeling high. The feelings and emotions that real life (god) gives your , are much more powerful and long lasting than any drug. I detoxed from subs before for 3 months. It was extremely hard like you said but I was almost back to normal. Then a breakup with a girl I loved dearly tempted me right back into a Dailey habit of subs. Props to you for getting off opiates and keep on keeping on man. Don't ever turn back NO MATTER WHAT. don't let any demon or the devil talk you into thinking it's OK to do it "just once " or that " you can let loose once and a while " because that's how the devil gets you. And these drugs are most certainty pure evil . Anything that controls your mind and stops you from feeling god and true life has to be the devil. So again , God bless you man and thanks for sharing your story. It's truly inspirational. I'm sure I speak for many addicts when I say thank you. It's stories like yours that help others to do the same. And CElTIC SPIRIT.... it sounds like you are just making excuses and that will get you nowhere fast. There is no such thing as " needles suffering" like he said , you HAVE TO GO THRU PAIN. so deal with it. It's the only way. If you fear your life is at risk , then go to inpatient. But making excuses and denial is a sure way to stay addicted. I hope this video helps people to realize the path to life and to stop living in death.

    I'm 2 years, I'm so happy when I see people get out of it cause it's quite a journey to keep it.. Our brain chemistry needs months and months to adjust and just feel alright.. Yeah the first week is hell but most of us go through that again and again.. And then go do and all over again, same painful cycle over and over. The true success is keeping it, it's quite a struggle.. A big journey.. You just got to really want to and realize everyday that dope is the enemy.. And get involved with a group like NA.. Yeah ❤️ NICE vid..I was at a suboxone clinic for 10 years. But I had relapses .. and was on and off.. . It helps but it's the best when you're off of everything and you are OK.. To wake up needing nothing is the best feeling in the world! Power and love to all who are still struggling and those who have overcome.. You are amazing! Love your self man God loves each and every one of us and we are all perfect..we just got to see that.. It's true.. You can do it and after you do it it's amazing.. ❤️
