 Quitting Psychedelics

I've been tripping on psychedelics once or twice a week for years. I'm not fried in the head, but I realized that I was totally obsessed and all of my thoughts were consumed by the psychedelic experience, either thinking about it or looking forward to it. I've decided to quit.
What the fuck do I do with myself? Any hobby seems fucking lame compared to merging with the Godhead or exploding into the stars and experiencing oneness with the universe. Psychedelics are a tough act to follow. What do regular people do? I'm in my thirties with two Masters Degrees, a lot of money, plenty of free time, not a care in the world, and few responsibilities other than my job. Give me some suggestions.

Go bowling, start a family, buy a house. If you wanna be a regular guy you gotta start somewhere.

I am putting together my first shroom batch at 58 y/o. This will be my first experience ever with a mind altering substance. Here's what I do:
Work. Work gives you purpose so keep working.
Play tennis (or any sport as a hobby or to win). Find a social sport like tennis or golf - the interaction is helpful.
Give back. I keep hearing that the experience I am about to have will restore my empathy. So if you have $$ and time and some sense of connectedness with some disadvantaged group - get involved. Got a community foundation in your area - donate and volunteer.
Hope I didn't offend but your question was what do others do. I have a great job (under-worked, bored and overpaid), a strong family and am very lucky. I am, however, dead on the inside. I look forward to "hitting the reset button" as someone put it.

Wife, children? Find something creative to do? Or perhaps become politician? Dress in a clown costume and scare children on the street...

Yeah, really just get out and find a hobby.
Maybe a good time for picking up an instrument? Or you could mail me your money bill by bill and fold them intricately and respond to my opinions on your dollar-origami in rhyme. That'd be different.

If you've tripped that much, for that long, I hope you have discovered ways to integrate your insight into "mainstream" living, else all that tripping was an absolute waste.
I hope you find what you're looking for--

Learn to make psychedelics and then create your own homologues and novel substances.
Seriously, this should be a no-brainer.
You've got the money and the time, probably the place or ability to purchase an area for a lab. You have 2 masters so it shouldn't be a big deal trying to learn some basic chemistry.
Do it, then supply your research information to the public so we can do the mass proliferation.
Creating replaces the addiction of taking, and then you can always fall back on your massive cache if you ever lose a ton a job or need cash fast.

i don't see how you could of been obsessed if you've managed to get two masters degree and a job that full fills all of your expenses
and theres no "regular" people unless you mean unhappy people but if thats the case you are apparently already "regular"
finding a soulmate/wife i would imagine will liven things up a bit it sounds like you may be lonely

Make a Garden of active botanical plants. Watch them grow while smoking weed. Become a college professor and have parties with your new students. Get a social life. get a wife, have kids, become a productive member of society, get health insurance, pay taxes, retire to florida, die.
Get a hobby that interest you. If you like psychedelics learn how to make/grow them and have party's and make money, go to concerts and meet new people. travel, ride bike, play sports, lift weights.

When I quit psychedelics for two years I got really involved in hot-yoga, meditation and raw foods. I definitely experienced some altered "psychedelic" highs just from doing those things.

Its not possible to have gone tripping once or twice a week and have that sort of success in life. So the first step is perhaps you should stop lying and move out of the dreamworld you're mind is living in right now.

sounds like the perfect time to pick up an opiate addiction.
then, when you've had enough of that, you can take a heroic dose of mushrooms to clear your head and begin the cycle again.

I agree, but I started late in life after I achieved all the success.

Lifes loopy like that, it means you had too many bad dice rolls like in that old board game chutes & ladders you land on the wrong spot and you might fall too far behind and game over.
You might by chance hit every ladder and succeed victoriously and it may seem that you won with ease however it was a chance sequence of events. Figure out what your purpose for this life is and write out a list of goals to accomplish. If you lose your passion, or stop learning- game over.
If you have no will to live then you are wasting your life, if you have endless supplies of money than you can go anywhere or do anything, are you saying there's nothing else to do on Earth? Don't you want to travel? meet new people? make new friends?
There are many devices to blind people or get them stuck in a habit or routine, psychedelics are supposed to show you those loops and how to avoid them, and also that you are here to learn a lesson(s). It's your life, it might be your only one or it could be one of many. But, however difficult your trials and tribulations are, if you can stand tall and weather the storm you will be a better person for it.
