1g APE, it's good to be back.

It's been a while since I had a solid trip. My last 3g trip (of regular cubes) was a dud. This was about a month ago and, unfortunately, they must've been a pretty weak batch. And before then I've had a small handful of underwhelming trips because I was making tea incorrectly (and not extracting the actives properly).
But yesterday I had 1g of APEs I had grown a few months ago (I had yet to try a trip with them, I had one experience with them when I was testing out some fresh ones during the grow). I had made a tea with them but did not strain out the mushrooms since I didn't want to lose any actives. It was actually not bad and 1g of matter is insignificant enough to not feel like your drinking wet mushrooms (even though you are).
It's difficult to recall the entirety of the experience as I was so in the moment of the trip, for most of it I experienced the present moment as a phenomena that shifts rather than persists. Thus, each moment was different and my transition from one to the next did not carry over the past with it.
Conceptually, this was important for me because I struggle with being present in the here and now. I think to the future too often, which causes me to miss the beauty of the present.
The stats:
- 1g APE crushed and added to my tea, consumed with the mushrooms inside.
- Come-up anxiety was high but effects started within 30 mins.
- They hit HARD and FAST. The effects, once felt, ramped up quickly.
- Body Load was intense.
- CEVs were intense, OEVs were mostly distortions of the environment, but everything was layered by this geometric tunnel like pattern.
- The effects lasted at least 5 hours (at which point I went to sleep).
The takeaways (what the mushroom spirit told me):
- You are on the right path. Your abstinence from alcohol, healthier diet and increased exercise are revitalizing you.
- You still have certain things that seriously need change, such as watching random crap on youtube after work because you're "too tired" to do the things that are meaningful. You need abstain from those behaviors and return to nature (and read more).
And the most important:
- You will be rewarded with trips that are both the ones you want and the ones you need as you peel away that which impedes growth, and embrace the challenges which promote it.
For the first time in a long time I had this overwhelming feeling of self-love. I felt strong and healthy again. And I was reminded that, although I had lost sight of the place I once longed for, it remains in my grasp to return there.
I'm almost at 4 months of sobriety from alcohol and, although there are other vices I need to shed, I feel alive again.
It's good to be back in the world of the
