Opinion/Experience Using Psilocybin Mushrooms To Help Opiate Addiction?

About 6 years ago before i was addicted to oxy, i had a fairly heavy mushroom phase in life, and found them very beneficial to my mental health, even after traumatic events such as losing a family member. It has been 3-4 years since ive taken them, but feel maybe they could be helpful.
I never had a problem giving in to the trip even on high doses, and always absolutely loved the experience. Im sure its possible for me to have a bad trip, but i just was always able to have a fantastic time, and sometimes even work things out in life that needed solving.
My questions are:
1. Have any of you successfully taken a mushroom trip with the intention of changing your perspective on pharmaceuticals, and had it benefit you in quitting? I feel very ready to take a trip, and even feel a little excitement when thinking about it, but i want to make sure im not making a mistake.
2. Alternatively, do you think i should try to get clean on my own first, and then take mushrooms once im clean? The problem with this is i recently did get clean for 45 days, but was fairly miserable the whole time and ended up relapsing. Im hoping the mushrooms can help me find the motivation to get clean again, and then really stick with it this time.
Im hoping maybe a nice mushroom trip, with clearly set intentions, could be beneficial in my life. I fully realize that my oxy usage is an issue, and absolutely love mushrooms, so im hoping you guys think its a good idea. I have xanax incase the trip gets too intense, but ive eaten fairly high doses of mushrooms in the past and never even got close to freaking out.
Im very curious to hear what you guys have to say, and want to thank you in advance for any help. Thank you!

If you think you should start trying to give it up then it’s always a good idea to start that process as soon as possible.
I’ve never intentionally done shrooms to give something up, but whenever I’ve had a shroom trip whilst being addicted to something (ciggies, weed, home grown poppies) it has brought my negative feelings toward the addiction to the front of my experience [hope that makes sense]. I’d be in the middle of a shroom trip looking down at the ciggie I was about to light, or the bong I was about to hit and I’d just be thinking how disgusting and harmful this thing was for me, which were thoughts that while sober I was able to put to the back of my mind easily.
Give it a go, can’t hurt 👍
Shrooms and other psychedelics can be great options as recreational drugs that aren’t addictive for after you kick your habit and you get that itch to get high as well.

My cousin was pretty heavily addicted to heroin, I’m pretty sure he’s been clean since he got out of prison and he does a lot of mushrooms and acid, too much for me, but hey, they seem to be helping.🤷🏻

Are you in a position to do a suboxone detox?
1. No 2. Why can't you get clean and do shrooms together? I've been told by others they can help ease withdrawals a little. I remember doing shrooms when i had as Bardy said, they bring those negative things into focus for me really crystal clear. Just make sure you go into the trip knowing it may be quite uncomfortable to have your sins laid bare before you. I actually hate that experience. But it helps with my conviction.
