"The mushrooms shows me how stupid I was too go drinking alone in a separate room than my family"
Time to get blasted together!

Jokes aside you should definitely try taking 1,5-2,5g of dried PE without any alcohol beforehand. Maybe a beer to ease the anxiety but only if you seem fit.
All in all great write up, now you have some insights to work with!

Yeah, family man, don%u2019t be putting that bottle between you and your family.  If anything, wouldn%u2019t you want to enjoy your %u2018spirits%u2019 with your family?  I am sure your wife and daughter rather have their father/husband near and dear than drinking two bottles boozes night. Instead of booze, buy daughter dress up clothing and take her on dates with your wife. Teach her some kind gentleman like nature from the man she loves best, her father.

Hey Dude, Congratulations on enjoying your first harvest!  I've been growing about 2 years now and still have failed grows. Coincidently with my wife suggesting that I "get a hobby" I read Michale Pollan's book "How to Change Your Mind" and I was off and running. I also loved "Fantastic Fungi" and have come to respect Paul Stamets as one of the few people on this planet who truly respects Mother Earth , has his shit together and knows all the benefits to humanKind mushrooms can offer.

I will never tell another person what to do, but I sometimes will offer "suggestions" or "speak from my experience" ( that's a dead giveaway that I've been to the spiritual fellowship known as AA). Being several decades older than you, I can remember the suggestion from the 60's  "Never mix, Never blurry". I believe that means "Don't mix substances, enjoy each separately for what they are" So my suggestion to you is to try to find the right time, space and place to enjoy a clean dose of your PE for what they are  on their own. You may be surprised as to where your mind may take you.  

BTW I must admit that I often consume red wine or port on the backside of my trips, to help me come in for a landing and get to sleep.

Lengend, lore and accounts suggest that PE is among the most potent forms of P.Cubensis. I recently had a successful grow of PE Uncut. I  consumed  1 dry gram of a large PEU in in tea with lemon and honey "in the name of science"  and I  found that it barely compared with another recent crop of B , of smaller stature where 1g took me into serious orbit. My takeaway is to confirm what I've read in Shroomery.org  and elsewhere that smaller mushrooms are often more potent than larger ones and potency can vary mushie to mushie within any strain harvest. 

I share your conflicting emotions  on choosing to trip out away from family. I often leave my wife upstairs and retreat to the basement to consume my drug of choice for the evening. My take is that psylocibin can take the human mind to higher levels of consciousness, alcohol is a pain killer that kills brain cells. 

I wish you well on your journey through life on this planet.

thanks for sharing.
