The spiritual stuff vs what's actually happening in your brain
So I've been reading a lot about ibogaine and I keep seeing two different angles. Some people talk about it like a spiritual reset, visions, confronting your past, all that. Others focus on the neurochemistry, how it affects dopamine receptors and repairs pathways damaged by years of drinking.
Honestly I dont know what to make of it. I'm not particularly spiritual but I'm also not dismissing it. After 20+ years of trying to quit I'm open to whatever actually works. But I'd rather understand what I'm getting into.
For those who've been through it, which part do you think did the heavy lifting? Or is it impossible to separate them?
