Im trying hard to bring her home with the kids where she’s loved and appreciated.

Cigarettes and alcohol addiction actually destroyed my life. I could remember several years ago, when i lost my husband I suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Got addicted to alcohol and cigarettes. Not until my son 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.

The dirty cigs were my poison of choice as well. That nicotine & caffeine kick first thing in the morning was heavenly. Smoked a pack a day for 13 years. Will be one full year come February since I last lit up. No vapes. No gum. Used the patch for the first several months. Quitting smoking is a total marathon though. Still have those bad weeks even after all this time. My patience is about half of what it used to be. Looking back on things, pretty sure that was always just a character flaw of mine, & cigs definitely rounded those sharp edges of mine, which is why I took to them so intensely. Almost like cruel joke how destructive they are to your health. Several friends (including myself) I feel were just genuinely better people as smokers lol.

for real guys. I'm not spiritual at all. I've never heard anything as compelling as your sort of crazy burn out testimony. I loved it.

They're both beautifully humbled and infatuated. Aw.

Theo is crushing so hard 😅😊

I have such a strange instinct towards the Higher Power. I think it's because I've always had such a strong dose of evil around me, it's difficult to connect with so much distance. I think about how desperate I have been for connection, even bonded with evil. It seems to me that those bonds that you make with the evil around you are the hardest additions to deal with. Really hurts to go the other direction. Takes serious strength.

Stay strong. I think I understand it's so easier to tap into the darkside because it's right there. Instant. But like anything that's good for you requires work and discipline. It's like your body, eating bad and being lazy is easy but to be healthy takes discipline and the effort. Hope things get better for you 🙏

Kat thanks for helping me at the wildlife center you’re the best ♥️

"I like having an invisible friend" !! Thats a great way to look at it Theo Von. Love it

I was chain smoking a pack a day for about a year, sometimes 2 packs. Smoked 4 in one sitting and knew I had to quit. Went cold turkey and always came back to it years later. Really struggled with it for a couple years. I took mushrooms once at a festival and I've never really had the urge since then. Apparently mushrooms are effective 80% of the time for quitting nicotine.

Literally just broke free from cigarettes’ throat-charring grip. And all because of a week long cold, of all things. Your lungs sure do immediately thank you for quitting.

This is why I never understood peer pressure with drugs. Where I grew up, nobody shared anything 😂

Theo says the most ridiculous stuff, but he’s so insightful and says such simple yet highly profound statements that I have to pause the video and think about what was said for a moment.
