LSD was an aid in curing my addiction.

Developed a pretty bad nose habit 2 months back. Buying a half ball every day or two. Depressed. Financial ruin. Chasing the yeyo with hard liquor. Developed dependence pretty fast. Its all i could think about when I had it and when I didnt. Even at work. Hell id go to bed and dream about waking up and snorting some fatty Hollywood lines.
That all changed. Im now 1 or 2 months completely clean of cocaine and wouldn't touch it with a ten foot pole. My friend even offered me some lines for free a few weeks back and i turned them down.
I fully believe LSD was a real eye opener in showing me how my life was in shambles and how I could change and escape. Its never too late to turn the boat around. But I knew I had to have the will to do so and commit to a healthier lifestyle.
Ive been using LSD every weekend as a therapeutic substance with much respect. I dont take it to get "high" or see badass visuals. Im taking it to help develop my spirituality and mould an appreciation for life. And its working. Last weekend I had my first ego death experience that ive tried for years to achieve.
Noticed the only reason I unlocked it was my mindset and meditation. While 3 doses got me there i think the experience was triggered/unlocked through my meditation and letting go.
Since my LSD trials have began ive become a better person. Realizing im an empath. I feel for everything now. I'm finding myself. My spirituality. Hell ive even picked up spinning poi from scratch and im getting pretty good.
LSD is beautiful if you respect it guys. Its changed my life..

I'm happy for you, but you're not exactly cured. The LSD was a catalyst that helped you kick your habit & get a better perspective. Maintaining that will take work though. You need to groom & nourish this perspective, and work on the reasons you caught that habit in the first place. Which is easier said than done. The pink cloud feeling doesn't last & it's easy to slip back into negative patterns & habits.
That said, well done & keep up the good work!

"I don't know what's happened, I don't know what's wrong - All I know is nothings promised and one day it could all be gone. While I'm here I wanna live my life for what it's worth some days good and some days bad, but that's just how it is on Earth. Little bit of sunshine little bit of rain"
Proud of you!

I agree wholeheartedly that it is a catalyst. Im not saying the LSD itself cured my addiction. It shed light on the way out though. Since my trials ive been maintaining a better diet. Exercise. Im able to think with more clarity upon my inconsequential problems and realize self destructing on my own body is no way to solve any problem. I realize that it has been my mind and willpower to get me where I am today.
I'm genuinely happy for the first time in my life. And i'm not walking down that road again though I can promise that much. I'm not looking back.

I watched a documentary about drugs last night and saw a statistic that 90% of cocaine addicts relapse.
I kind of giggled and was like - NOT ME! I'm very proud of myself. I still see an Oz sitting on my dealers table on the weekly and have been offered it for free and turn it down. FucK that drug sincerely.
Its evil.

I hope that's the case. I felt the same way & said the same things many times after an LSD trip inspired me to kick heroin. But I never kept it up, never put in the work & always relapsed. It wasn't until I hit a certain point where I had to reach for outside help that I finally put in a concentrated effort & actually got better & made a lasting change. Still takes work to maintain that, and I do fall short.

Congratulations on going clean! Seriously. I am 4 years clean from opiates. Only methadone was able to help me. I actually tried cold turkey and was sick for 30 days until I said 'fuck it' and started using again. I'm down to a 1mg dose right now and expect to be off of it for good in the next few months.

I would be careful with "i can sit be an oz on my dealers table and not touch it"
Might wanna cut ties with people involving themselves with the drug you found to be a problem drug for you.
And especially why put yourself in situations where you are around it?
While coke may be easier than herion to kick that might make it that much easier to rationalize relapse...since ts not as strongly physically addicting.
Congrats and good vibez

Not trying to pass judgement here but why do people take hard drugs like coke and heroin and meth etc? I mean get it... But i really dont get it. Especially when you know what can happen. Addiction, ruining your life etc.
Once again im not trying to pass judgement i just have a hard time understanding why people even go there? And i know it varys from person to person but i still have a hard time understanding!

You might want to check out the Health Recovery Center. They use Orthomolecular Medicine to cure addiction and they get a 70% success rate (people who don't relapse) compared to AA which has a 25% rate.
That you're into nutrition is good. There are ways to focus in on the biochemical problem that led to addiction.
They have information online and also books.
I wouldn't underestimate the relapse possibilities. You're feeling ok now, but big life disasters can happen and then vulnerability appears.
But congratulations so far.

self will and self knowledge rarely are adequate defenses against picking up again
