20 years clean, but Uber driver convinced me that psychedelics are safer and more useful than ever and I bought some liquid lsd.

So, I’ve been sober for 20 years. I used to love psychedelics but after my 10 day trip in the park, I could never shake the sadness I put my loved ones through and when I had a mental breakdown in my 30s, I decided to stay off drugs altogether. <br><br>I started Ubering as I still struggle with major depressive disorder and getting out of my head helps. I recently had a passenger who asked me why I wasn’t drinking. I told him I was an addict and didn’t want to fall back into it. We chatted a bit and turns out he’s a therapist who specializes in psilocybin. He said it’s more of a risk to not do it, if that makes sense. He said I won’t feel anything that isn’t already in my unconscious and that it’s only an ugly process if I’m an ugly person. <br><br>I can’t explain it, it just made sense. He said I could start with just a little LSD and see how I feel. I did a lot of reading and I’m only 3 doses in and I feel better than I have ever. It’s like I can hear my voice in my head and every day I feel more optimistic. I took a pill 2 days ago and it feels like that happy drunk feeling! I’m going to see my therapist and read more but I’m definitely going to tell my sponsor and my loved ones. It’s been an amazing experience thus far and I’m still very aware of when I need to slow down. <br><br>It’s not for everyone, just something I wanted to share :)
