I am doing Ibogaine & going to Mexico for a 3 week stay at a very reputable and somewhat financially reasonable clinic. I have to stay longer and receive more flood doses while I am there because I have a more complex opioid addiction. Uniquely I was only addicted to illicit opioids for 10 months(oxycontin) before realizing that unmanageability was no life for me. I sought out help and as we all know the only solution the USA has for opioid addiction is MAT THERAPY AKA maintenance medication. Being 19 and extremely naive I bought everything the doctor at the methadone clinic was selling me. That the medicine will curb my cravings and subside my withdrawals. Then when I was stable and had built a firm base of stability I could just taper off of it week by week. As if it was that easy 😬🙄 and
That was the beginning of a 20 year relationship with big pharma. I hated methadone with a passion, the side effects were horrendous. I tapered down to 20 mg the lowest dose to get by so that the side effects were not as bad. Then, as soon as Suboxone was available near me, I transitioned in 2009. Suboxone was a little better because I didn’t have to go to a clinic as often. I didn’t have to carry a box and it was a little better but the same if you know what I mean. I was still experiencing side effects. I was still numb to emotions, and it seemed every year it Dug me into a deeper and darker depression. I say that because the days that I don’t work I literally sleep all day. I will get my kids up for school I go back to bed and then I get up when they get home from school. You’re probably thinking I take a lot but I only take 4 mg a day which is about average. It’s just Suboxone has a way of building up in your system of over time.
So fast forward to the year 2019 I watch the lecture by Gabor Mate about adoption, foster care, and trauma, and its link to addiction. I really resonated with what he said because I grew up in the foster care industry and still to this day it’s painful think or talk about. I know there’s a correlation between my addiction to opioids and growing up in foster homes, group homes, and then ultimately residential treatment facilities. In those facilities, we were massively drugged with a triad of psychotropic medication’s that carried numerous side effects. At our center, we basically had a drug rep sometimes two or three that stayed on site five days a week. I probably live there two years before I realize they were not real doctors. They interacted with us and asked us questions and basically prescribed medication’s to us just like doctors. They wore a white coat with the pharmaceutical name stitched on it and their name. The only difference is they did not have Dr. beside it. To this day I am certain they were testing drugs on us, documenting the results, changing doses, all to the detriment to our emotional, mental and physical health. So it’s no wonder within a year of aging out at 18(2000) I succumbed to the vast amount of opioids in my environment. Anyhow, that’s just a short bit of my story on how I have maintained on opioid maintenance for the last 20 years. But the last four years I have had hope because of Gabor and his introduction of Ibogaine to me
Damn couldn't listen to him, should have laid of the Adderall before the podcast. Dude sounded like a basket case. Oh and Andrew don't deny your a meth head
You know one of the easiest ways not to get PTSD? Don’t sign up for the military

I’ve been addicted to heroin for 11 years, but after trying out psilocybin treatment I will be 2 years clean.
