Transcript – Mr B’s Story – No more opioid withdrawals with ibogaine

Q 00:15 How was life for you a few months ago?

I felt very entrapped, I could really not function or focus on anything in particular. I would sit there and smoke heroin all day, every day, and do the very bare minimum. And all the choices that I made were very very poor, extremely poor, it was a living hell.

Q 00:42 How did you hear about ibogaine?

I heard about it through friends in Australia that are in the psychedelic scene, they also do other therapies as, and well and yeah, my friend told me about her four weeks ago, I hopped on the internet and started googling, went to a lot of dodgy sites I think, dodgy practices, that I was thinking wow at first this doesn’t sound right, it just sounds like a money grab type of thing and then my friend gave me some more information and recommended to come here, so then I looked into here and yeah, it looked very very genuine, and it is, yeah.

Q 01:30 What was your experience like arriving here?

I landed on the Monday, I smoked my last bit of heroin before I just came here and then I started withdrawing very very quick because I had a large habit and I only had a small amount on that last day, and then I arrived here and I was thinking, where am I going, I’ve been brought up in the city, what is this place, you know, I don’t know if I couldn’t handle the serenity, and this is in the middle of nowhere, and then I pull up and there’s a seven-foot giant dutchman arrives, Han, very very welcoming, looked Shaman’ish, yeah, all very genuine people, it was an interesting perspective when I got here, yeah.

Q 02:20 How was your ibogaine experience?

Well I thought I’d see a lot of visuals, because of the testimonials that I’ve read, I mean, you know, I also read that some people don’t experience it, some people do, but that’s not what I came for anyway, I didn’t come for a psychedelic experience, if I wanted to do that I’ve just go on mushrooms or do whatever somewhere else. This was for the purpose of getting rid of an addiction. When I did take it I had a lot of expectation and, but the minute I did have it I started seeing smoke rising and went into a dream state and really woke up feeling very very warm and withdrawal free, no withdrawals at all. And it was a little bit like, it was trying to tap into subconscious, you know. I had that expectations, so I thought I didn’t work. The next day afterwards, I was very very close to leaving, I called my family, and I’m glad I did because I was very close to just saying, fuck this, I just want to go, and use heroin, but I’m glad I did talk to family and the staff here as well and just let it be because the next day felt fantastic, which is good, so it’s now Saturday and I feel really really good, I’m not a hundred percent, obviously, but I feel good. From what I was told from the staff that I was swearing a lot in my dream state, and talking a lot and crying, yeah releasing a lot of anxiety. So, whatever it has done, it has some brought definitely some inner peace, yeah definitely, because I don’t feel like using at all.

Q 04:14 What are your changes of relapsing?

Every day you get stronger, probably eighty – twenty, eighty percent not relapsing, twenty percent maybe, but it’s, I’ve got a good support network and I think having a good support network and aftercare is really the key to it, and to be honest, just be honest, you know, just stop the shit, just be honest whoever you’ve damaged or hurt or, you know, unintentionally through your addiction, just forgive yourself, day by day, yeah, so if I keep up with the support network and being honest yeah I don’t think I’ll relapse.

Q 04:54 How do you feel about the future?

I know my future’s bright, I always land on my feet, at least now I can make a lot better choices, a lot of people like to kick you when you’re down and take advantage of you when you’re in a bad bad place. There are a lot of good people and shit people in life, so yeah, making better judgments.

Q 05:18 Any final thoughts?

If you want to do it for yourself, do it, but if you’re doing it for your loved ones more than yourself, which you know, yeah it could be the drive, but you can really got to really want to do it, otherwise you’re just gonna come, you know, if you’re just doing it to please other people you’ll probably relapse, that’s my opinion.

Disclaimer: Ibogaine is a potentially illegal substance (often sits in a grey area of the law), and we do not encourage or condone the use of this substance where it is against the law. However, we accept that illegal drug use occurs, and believe that offering responsible harm reduction information and solutions is imperative to keeping people safe. For that reason, we share client testimonials, post treatment with Tabula Rasa Retreat, to show that there are ‘other ways’ to tackle addiction and spiritual malaise. We consider ibogaine as a very useful ‘tool’ in the recovery toolbox. Ibogaine is a safe option, if used responsibly, and where strict safety protocols are followed.

You are safe with us.
