I agree!!! I've been using mushrooms and blotter ( When I'm fortunate enough to receive some) to open up the pathways of communication in a sense. I go into each session with a predetermined goal, usually with the focus of recovering from substance use and living a better life that doesn't include using alcoholic beverages or drugs recreationally.
There was a time when I was using LSD to party, but then something happened and I realized that it was an excellent tool to open my mind and heal.
I'm in no way trying to encourage anyone to use potentially life altering drugs, but LSD and Psilocybin producing mushrooms have been a major factor in my recovery not only from certain substances, but I strongly feel like they have rewired my brain and helped me to regain some function after suffering from two nasty strokes. However, although I have received positive benefits from these substances, I have seen 5 people become severely affected by them in a negative way. Becoming suicidal after suffering from a serious mental health crisis. All became suicidal and were subsequently diagnosed with Bi-polar schizophrenia. They all had either a personal or family history of schizophrenia and they all had their crisis between the 3rd and 5th dose of mushrooms or LSD. There can be real consequences to using these substances and no one knows how they will be affected until they try it, but family history should seriously be considered when making the decision to use these substances.

My family has zero history of schizophrenia I checked because I heard it can be negative. I’m really disappointed with myself I drank a beer. I wanted to ride my skateboard and figured I should buy because I like the feeling too much. I’m not drunk but I feel a lot less anxiety I don’t know what to do the doctor gave me lorazepam and k pins before but I was taken off them because they said I was taking to many. I don’t think the answer is narcotics though but I really need a way to relax that’s not harmful. I feel this feeling of panic thinking about my life to hard.

Developing a meditation practice can teach you how to experience thoughts and emotions and let go of them before you end up in a panic.

I need to work on my anger I was thinking about how at one point I had a 6 month chip and it was legit but I didn’t want to be sober so I threw it in the trash afterwards. I am drinking constantly because I can now and I’m afraid at some point I wouldn’t have the choice. I don’t know if I can ever come to terms with the time I did.
I’m really angry I told my mom how I feel about her trying to control my life and basically said I’m done speaking with her until she lets me get a job and become independent. I been to lots of mental hospital because of her. Never once did I go the years I lived with my dad. She just wants to treat me like a child I haven’t drank anything but I’m high and crying cause I love my mom I just can’t take her treating me like I’m a child. She got a judge to declare me retarded so now she is my legal guardian and I have to live at this home I don’t like because I can’t grow weed or mushrooms.
I asked my manager why I can’t leave because I was wondering why I haven’t seen a lawyer and it’s because I’m not court order here my mom is the only reason I’m here. They said if I was my own guardian I could live here till I get a job and an apartment and I would be able to leave whenever I want. I can get alcohol whenever I want though because the store is 2 minutes away and I get to walk there anytime. I don’t know what to do they did a review today and I had zero problems except for having delta 8 one time. I’m not violent or suicidal and when I drink to much I go to sleep I don’t cause problems. They don’t even know I drank anything in years on paper. I just wanted to share I remember people share their problems in AA.

I found that pretty confusing. When was the last time you drank?

I agree, many of us can see the harm that we are doing to ourselves and others, but haven’t gotten to the point to where we do something about it. It's a decision that we have to make for ourselves!! No amount of counseling or medication can do that for us, we have to decide that enough is enough and only then can we do something to end the insanity of addiction. Meditation was something that worked great for me for a very long time, but after my last stroke it's not the same, like I've lost my chi and can't quiet my mind like I used to, but I still try.
I say do whatever it takes for you to get away from alcohol and/or drugs, because what works for one doesn't always work for another and there's no one way to recover.
If I was going to use a medication to try and quit drinking. There are two that I would try and they are antibuse and naltrexone. Naltrexone (narcan) made a huge difference in helping my wife stop drinking, but none of the drugs can do it all, you have to make earnest efforts to not give in when the cravings breakthrough, because they will. It's been 6-7 years now for her, she had some tough spots in the beginning, but she also had a good support group that wouldn't enable her to given in when the cravings were the strongest. She says that she's in a much better place today and the desire to drink is pretty much gone, but every now and then it will try to creep in and convince her that one is ok, but I remind her of how hard she worked to get to where she is and the cravings fade away. Recovery is possible, "IF" you really want it!!!
