Do you drink? Have your drinking or drug habits changed since psychedelics?
    #27059451 - 11/26/20 11:41 PM (3 years, 2 months ago)

I post this as a recovering drunk. I drank heavy for ~ 10 years. My second LSD experience pulled me out of the denial of having a drinking and drug problem. Shortly after I checked into long term rehab, went and still go to 12 step meetings and have not drank in 4 years. Also have up all cannabis and stimulant use as well. I don't trip often but have used psyches as a tool.

The last few months I had been dealing with a break up and a fair amount of lingering depression. Decided to take a trip for the first time in about 2 years and had an amazing and spiritual experience. Depression has been 100% gone since that trip and am able to see things from another perspective. I took 250ug of lsd and 4g of mushrooms simultaneously and had an intense god experience. I saw a spirit, and bowed to my knees and asked God to have mercy on my soul. I saw a bright white light and I felt an overwhelming sense of relief and all my built up tension just evaporated. I've felt lighter since that trip and began dating other women.

The healing power of psychedelics is amazing, I just have a hard time talking about it with other people in "recovery." I've brought it up with a couple of close people but it's generally frowned upon. I have 0 regrets.

Just out of curiosity, why did you stop cannabis use?

No, my drug and drinking has changed because I knew pretty quickly when it moved over to being a problem. Coming from a long line of alcoholics and having a brother who died from an OD/dad who died from alcoholism keeps addiction on the list of possibilities at all times.

I'm still fucking with alcohol a tiny bit, but I am just starting a a 60 dry spell to see how I feel about it. I know that just the fact that I don't want to do it is sign enough that I need to.

Psychedelics can do that, simply for their ability to give new perspective, but they definitely don't necessarily do that.

Glad to hear you are sober, OP!

Any temptations?

I quit cannabis because I was a habitual smoker. If smoke hash/shatter/wax all day every day. I found that it contributes to my anxiety and paranoia. Sometimes I miss it but I got a good job that I wouldn't sacrifice to get stoned.

My first year of sobriety was rough and had to face some demons through a sober mindset. I drank at least a fifth every night when I was drinking, sometimes more. Had lots of cravings but got through. Haven't felt the need to drink or take stimulants for 3 years now.

What job you got?

I am currently an RN and playing the odds by smoking occasionally. Not sure how I feel about it, but I'm feeling very Thoreau-esq.

I have been drinking too much but never nearly that much. Like 200ml 3 times a week. Alcohol is not the same anymore.. I used to be chill with 4 beers. Now I need like 8.

Yes and yes they have changed mainly my alcohol habits, but I don't know if it's really due to taking psychedelics. More like life experience in general. Drinking wine right now. Alcohol is a decent drug because the side effects are so clear, so if you can keep that in mind... but you cant if you are drunk all the time...

I never drink, but I ingest a lot of cannabis. Psychedelics didn't really influence my weed use, but they did firm up that I hate drinking and so why bother doing it

I wish I could smoke and not drink,  but weed makes me so fucking energetic and kind of anxious, it is a hard state of mind and body to manage. I dunno if it's the weed or zero tolerance or what. I kind of think the weed today is fucking poison and not balanced. It's like booze, compared to beer or something

could be just low tolerance, or perhaps differences in how you're wired. weed isn't for everybody, it mostly just makes me sleepy

Alchohol is such crappy substance. Its effects are so lame and sloppy. I lost all interest years ago, even a small drink on special occasion or glass of wine, is a definite no for me dawg. I dont feel left out or anything if others are drinking and I'm not. Actually I might feel a little embarrassment and pity for those who drink in excess. It's like "damn look at him just guzzling that poisonous fluid and turning belligerent"

Just lost a co-worker friend this month to drunk driving too, alchohol is just annoying to see it persevere among our people

I agree wholeheartedly, its a shame such a dangerous and -in my opinion- boring drug is basically forced on you if you grow up in Canada or the US, I dunno how one gets through highschool without drinking excessively socially.

I've got an additional bias though as alcohol doesn't even make me feel good, even if I drink a small amount I instantly get a headache and feel like being alone lol

Imagine if it was the other way around. People initiated into tripping on mushrooms (I dont think lsd is so great for young people) and smoking weed. Alcohol might be more enjoyable and less of a problem for many actually...

I don't think so at all, myself and many people took acid and mushrooms started regular weeds smoking early on, me by 16 YO all that in full swing, I'm 30 now and healthy.

My old friends who drank through childhood till now are ridden with bad health and addictions of all expensive and destructive kinds

Interesting point, probably letting kids try a small amount of minor drugs with parental supervision is the best route, like having a drink with family is really the healthiest way, rather than leaving it to idiot high schoolers to chug vodka in the woods or whatever.
I think letting people smoke a bit of weed starting at like age 16 or preferably 18  would be ok -definitely not earlier because of its negative effects on developing brains. I honestly don't think people should trip so early though, I know lots start real young but most of those I know who started tripping in high-school aren't the most well adjusted now.
I think people should be in their 20s to trip, honestly, and some people not even then, as I think it takes a fair bit of maturity and self-control to get through a less than stellar trip without freaking out, and even to get much of benefit out of a decent trip, some capacity for self-reflection is needed.

:ilold: It is so hilarious how trendy it is to shit on alcohol. Pretty good drug overall. Sad I have not been able to moderately drink but it was fun while it lasted.

Most people I know who started doing any drugs in 'childhood' are not really successful. Maybe it's my group, but most are sad failures.

I started doing drugs at 21 and wouldn't recommend anyone do so earlier. Too much temptation not to use drugs to regulate your mood instead of learning to regulate it yourself.
