I've been a cocaine addict for the better part of the last 5 years. It's been a rollercoaster all while holding down a full-time job.
I've tried the usual — rehab, outpatient programmes, therapists, and about a hundred times of going cold turkey. Just to be thrust back into the vicious cycle.
I've known about microdosing for a while and how big it is amongst corporate employees in the States. But nothing I'd ever considered doing myself. After another round of self-loathing and binging, and begging and pleading from my SO, I started doing some research into psilocybin and microdosing.
I found someone who was producing microdosing capsules and thought I had nothing left to lose.
It has been a game changer for me. I have consistent moods. I'm getting on with my day earlier which means I'm sleeping better. I work in software engineering — I'm able to focus on tasks better.
The self-loathing of being an addict is virtually non-existent, which means I don't think about using.
Don't get me wrong — by no means do I think this is a magic cure for addiction. But hell, it's done more for me in the last month than anything else I've tried in the last 5 years.
