MDMA-inspired sobriety

[SilverFeniks]

Plenty of negativity & bad experiences flooding the forum currently, so I thought I'd add something positive.

MDMA is well-known for its therapeutic benefits with PTSD patients, but somewhere amongst my recent use of MDMA I've found the burdens of a decades-long poly-drug addiction eased.
Whether a result of subconcious paranoia about potential damage caused by overuse, or the fruit of introspective reflection on health that occured during the peak/afterglow, my compulsive use of alcohol & other drugs has been reduced.
The same daily stressors are there, but my deisre to inebriate seems to have vanished. I've been more clean & sober lately than in any time in recent memory.

My first use of MDMA 11 years ago realigned my perceptions about the Universe, so I guess I should not be surprised at its ability to affect my life currently. Still, the intangible benefits of recent use are doing what years of earnest motivation couldn't, reminding me of the power contained therein when respected.

Anyone else experienced positive life changes (substance-dependency related or otherwise) thanks to MDMA use?
Did it stick with you permanently, or fade with time?

MDMA use encouraged a time in my life where I re-examined health and fitness, and lost interest in drinking alcohol. I've never been particularly unhealthy nor was I addicted to alcohol or abusing any substances, but after using MDMA I was really inspired and motivated to pay more attention to my body and mind. It's been nearly three years since my first use and the feeling has stayed. I've also got a close friend who I introduced to MDMA. She dealt with alcohol abuse prior to her first MDMA experience. Afterward, she described it as her eyes being opened to different types of cognition, new experiences, all of which trump alcohol. She hasn't binge-drank since then (8 mos) simply out if lack of interest.

Yeah I had some pretty big ones myself. First off I quit smoking cigarettes after rolling. I know it's so good to smoke while rolling but after one roll I just decided life is too good to be killing myself with smoking. It's been a solid 6 months since my last smoke, never had an urge to have one just quit cold turkey. Also before I tried mdma I was into coke doing it whenever I had the cash pretty much. Was addicted to it I would say I just didn't have the cash for it so it was a friday and saturday thing I'd do when I drank or when I had extra cash during the week. First time I did mdma it was like everything I thought coke would be before I tried it, just amazing. I never did coke after that, that was 2 years ago.

Also I would say I'm more patient in life and more understanding with people.

My first ecstasy trip seemed to "wake up" my serotonin and dopamine receptors in some way. After I came down off of 300mg of MDMA on my first ever mind alteration I felt more open to people, and I became much more social. There was also a permenant sense of acceptance and joy that I just aquired after rolling, one I had never experienced before. MDMA changed my life for the better and I plan on rolling until my time here is up.

This is a good thread.

I think without the help of MDMA I would probably be dead from an accidental OD.

It helped me tremendously in my battle against personal demons.

This, it helped me reshape my personality and exhibit the real me, and be myself without being ashamed to show my true colors.

It also made me care much more about health and how to maintain healthy serotonin levels. I would say I care about water and fruits/vitamins much more than I did a year ago.

^Likewise to what was said above. It has made me healthier physically. I force myself to workout everyday & eat right to help with the serotonin production.
