    I started doing drugs since my teenage, got addicted to fentanyl. Spent my whole life fighting fentanyl addiction. I suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Fentanyl addiction actually destroyed my life. Not until my wife recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 8 years totally clean. Never thought I would be saying this about mushrooms.

God bless everyone who has rejected the devils intentions to be addicted to alcohol and cigarettes etc which can cause so much damage to health.

I'm 56 and have suffered for years with addiction, anxiety and severe ptsd, I got my panic attacks under control myself years ago and they have come back with a vengeance, I'm constantly trying to take full breaths but can't get the full satisfying breath out, it's absolutely crippling me, i live in Australia. I don't know much about these mushrooms. Really need a reliable source!! Can't wait to get them.

      Congrats! I'm really happy for you that your wife decided to help you. I always admire those who beat their addiction. Knowing it's possible to fix your life knowing there's people out there that have done what I thought was impossible gives me hope I will make it through as well. Those who share their experiences don't know how much it helps when you're about to give up, it gives you the strength knowing somone who actully know what it's like to go through this tell you it's possible, it's not the same somone telling you you can do it when they have no idea what it's like, but hearing somone who knows what it's like that helps a lot since you understand it firsthand and made it out gives so much hope. so thanks for sharing.

    This stuff is no joke! I was hooked on opiates for 10 years and then heavily hooked on fetty for 2 years. What makes it so scary is it does feel amazing, but will hook you IMMEDIATELY and ruin your life, especially with the very short shelf life! I was just tired of living life like that tho and decided to get clean. Did it at home with my lady by my side and man it was a grueling few weeks, especially the first 10 days, but I did it! I got clean and have been clean for 2 years! Could have died getting clean at home without medical help, but I was determined. Now we just bought our first house and life is great! I wish I could warn all first time users to stay far away from this drug…but I can’t. So I wish everyone the best and please stay safe.

Shit was so addicting, and the withdrawals are horrible. I was on it for 2 years... I'm glad to be where I'm at now... In college, and still alive, just had my 23rd birthday a few days ago...

    29:47 Addiction specialist and behavioral therapist here! Just FYI Harm reduction isn’t generally paid for by taxes. nonprofits handout harm reduction kits, which include clean syringes also testing supplies to see if you have fentanyl in your drugs and Narcan to save people from overdose.
    It’s not enabling. It’s reducing harm as the name implies. It reduces death and the burden on the healthcare system. People are gonna get high with or without clean needles. And with or without safety supplies.

      All harm reduction facilities every single one is run by a state or the government and is funded by our taxes I know this because I have worked with a harm reduction groups in Massachusetts the entire system that harm reduction is based upon is a broken one that no longer helps addicts 75% of the harm reduction groups in our country don't even offer a pathway to get clean play don't work with rehabs or detox centers nonprofits are not allowed to even work in harm reduction as far as dispensing clean needles or pipes it's only allowed under the guidance of federal and state authorities

    • @amberminor4838
      @amberminor4838 Před 14 dny

      ​@@solar2000unfortunately he's completely wrong a simple Google search will teach you that all harm reduction and needle exchange facilities have to be over thought by government authorities be it state or federal state and federal taxes are the only way these centers are funded as a matter of fact a very easy way to check this is look up the funding given by the Biden administration under the cover of covid so these ask Harmony reduction centers could start handing out crack pipes in glass bowls for methamphetamine nonprofits as he put it or not allowed to even run a harm reduction center in the United States anywhere

    • @amberminor4838
      @amberminor4838 Před 14 dny +2

      Also while I was an active user and like most people I know who use if they need a new syringe and they are sick they're not going to take the time to go to a harm reduction or needle exchange they're going to grab whatever goddamn needle they can find to get well and the fact that needle exchanges for the most part don't require collecting the needles they hand out to get new ones is just plastering the streets around them with used needles because everybody just tosses them they do far more harm than they do good harm reduction my ass just another way for Rich assholes to profit off of poor addicted folks

    • @vivaportugalhabs

    Mushrooms did wonders in my life. Over the course of my life, I've suffered from uncontrollable, depression, anxiety, alcohol, smoking, and illicit pills addiction. Imagine carving heavy chains for a long time and then all of a sudden that burden is gone. This is something that really needs to be used globally to help people with similar health challenges. I've been sober for 6 years and have my life back.

      He's violent. Anyone reading this Familiar w/ BPD knows if it is common for an obsession with violence.

Ive felt how powerfuly it can take you out. One second your here and one secomd your not. Most addicts don't want to die. They just dont know how to live anymore. I am so thankful i got help and completely submitted to it. Ive been clean 6 years. Lufe is not as hard as I thougjt it was.

    I appreciate you mentioning the harm reduction practices from the eyes of the non profits. Many people forget that switzerland and portugal started that many years ago and have seen an insane decrease in overdose deaths and disease and also crime. The issue with america is how inaccessible treatment for drug addiction is. Where in switzerland and portugal it’s easily accessible. We need harm reduction AND rehabilitation accessibility.
