6 months later...now need 2nd flood
Ryu , it sounds like a good plan you have there . i wish you the best . There is nothing more admirable than someone whom can pick themselves up off the mats , dust themselves off ( looking at the task at hand) and get back into the ring again . I am cheering for you !!! Thanks for sharing . much love and healing . - harvey Plex
good luck quietvalley51! it sounds like you are trying to do your best by yourself -- imho that makes you a very good person --vicka
Don't be discouraged by a few drawbacks. It is a common phenomenon for people struggling with addiction. Most people have to deal with them at some point, it doesn't mean that you're back where you started.
Hey man, thanks for posting. What you are going through is pretty typical. Indeed though ibogaine works wonders at addiction interruption, it usually does take more than one 'time' for most people. If your using is anything like mine then this is to be expected. I have seen people stick with it after one session but this is very rare. The lasting results usually come after an initial exposure and a relapse - to me this is all part of the process and takes nothing away from the first episode or ibogaine's potential. I do not make a 'big deal' about relapse for many reasons, the main one is that I would hate for someone to be discouraged and addicts do not need a reason or an excuse to relapse so I tend to tone it down with respect to those notions...if someone in very early recovery is thinking about a relapse and they read, 'hey it is normal or not uncommon to relapse after a first flood' then poof! away they go. Like I said, I have definitely seen it take off on the first try but usually it takes another flood - or some heavy boosters to do the trick. Just understand it is a process and your being honest and not beating up on yourself will go a long way I think. Good luck and thank you for sharing
Hey guys, Thanks for all your support. Well, my TA came in the post today so i am planning on doing it next weekend. Will 7-10 days of abstinance from drink and drugs be safe enough to proceed? Im gonna eat lots of good food, plenty of omega 3 & 6 and lots of water. Any additional advise in prep would be appreciated! Ive read some great stuff on re-programming my mind afterwards with positive affirmations. I really want to conquer my addiction this time. Is it safe to use Iboga every six months to prevent relapse or only when nessecary? Love and light to you all. PS if you can think of anything that might be useful for me before and after it will be much appreciated.
Hi quietvalley51, I doubt using ibogaine every 6 months will hurt you, in fact I think it is a great idea. - JIM
Since it's already saturday evening i guess all i can say at this point is:Good luck.
Good luck...do you mean i should be worried
