I'm DareDevil555. Fan of comic books, if you couldn't tell. 25 years old. I'm here looking for a little guidance/advice on a few things. I'm in recovery, and my main deal was heroin, but I had problems with coke, x, pot (just me personally, I don't preach to other people), xanax, booze, pills, etc. Did shrooms once, but was stupid about it. On the 31st of this month I will have 4 years of sobriety. I've done it via the 12 Steps, which has worked for me. I haven't really been keeping up with it, besides the occasional meeting here or there, but I do keep in touch with my sponsor, and all my good friends from there. I'm of the 12 step school of "take what you want and leave the rest". I like the fellowship, I love the guidance, I love the support network, but I luckily found a good group, because there are lots of cult like groups within it. I'm prescribed to suboxone, and take one 8mg tablet a day. I'll smoke a cigarette or two every 3 or 4 days.
I've become a more spiritual person lately, since about September of 2009, after having a strange spiritual experience. Ever since then I have been researching non stop into the world of the esoteric, spiritually with conspiracy theories included. Lately I've been researching DMT, as well as briefly looking into other psychedelics. I'm not ready to make any decisions yet, but I've been seriously considering possibly trying it. I hear lots of people I greatly respect saying that every young man should have at least one psychedelic experience, whether it's McKenna, Graham Hancock, don't laugh, but Joe Rogan, and others, including one of my personal mentors, and the first person who taught me that it was okay to not be normal, when I was 17, and he was 33. I'm being very cautious about this, because I've lied to myself before, about saying I wasn't going to injest/inject substance A to get loaded, but rather be responsible. I'm much more mature now. I'm much more aware of myself, and my surroundings. I no longer have toxic friends. I have a great support network of friends, whether inside recovery, or not, just good people all around. I want to have that one spiritual experience, to gain an understanding that I wouldn't gain in this normal perception, and I feel like DMT may be the way, but I'm open to suggestions of whatever, as long as it's usually considered to be a spiritual pathway, and not a temporary escape from the problems of life. Would suboxone get in the way of it working in my brain, and prevent an experience? For the more experienced guys, with a spiritual worldview, going by what I've written, do you think it's a bad idea, or would you think it could be a productive experience? Thanks for reading this, either way...
