Heroin No More – PS
I started experimenting with drugs in my teenage years, using all kinds of drugs in a recreational manner, always thinking that i had everything under control. And until i turned 23 i never actually had problems with none of substances i was using.
I used to be more of a party drug guy, i loved to take Ecstasy and Psychedelics in party settings, but, every now and then i would use heroin to come down. Over time the heroin use became more frequent and before i knew it I was hooked. From that moment on my life turned upside down, i lost whatever sort of (illusion of) control i had had until that period of my life.
Meanwhile, 13 years passed and, although i tried all sorts of treatments to try to quit, i never actually managed to remain clean for good. This 13 year period was lived around heroin, whether I was using heroin or trying to keep myself off of it. it was exhausting and drained me of my will to even live.
I learned about Ibogaine around 2013 on the internet and what i learned was quite interesting and brought hope about. During 3 years i researched lots of places in Europe and even made contacts but it was very expensive and i never felt the confidence i needed to take a step from the contacts i made.
And then one day i heard about Tabula Rasa and met Alvaro online. His approach was different from what i had experienced before and made me feel more comfortable regarding the possibility of undergoing such a powerful experience. After months of conversations the opportunity presented itself and Alvaro made affordable to me.
I have to say that i was really taken care of, they treated me really nice and the provider is incredibly professional, he has an intimate relationship with this powerful plant and displays an incredible respect for It. Although it has happened in some sort of urban setting, the Provider had a really spiritual approach to the treatment and made me feel the necessary respect for such an incredible teacher plant. I must underline that the Provider really knows what he’s doing, he works like a true scientist, with a very structured approach to the whole process, making sure that the experience runs as smoothly as possible.
Its not a walk in the park, i must say, it was a 36 hour trip, whit most of the time spent in a lucid dream-like state, where i was bombarded by information that i’m still trying to make sense of. Truth is i woke up 95% withdrawal free which was pretty amazing, to be honest.
However, i cant say that Iboga alone is a miracle drug, it does an incredible job on your addiction, takes away cravings for a very significant period, but then its up to us to make all the necessary changes in our life to allow this window of opportunity to settle in and make true change possible. It might be the treatment choice available out there and it deserves to be taken into account by the powers to be as a way out for the millions fighting addiction.
If you are struggling with addiction and have lost hope with classical approaches, don’t hesitate on giving a chance to this plant, its gonna be of great help and most likely is going to help you to see addiction and recovery with totally different eyes.
All the best for everyone in path of finding a new life out of addiction.
