I was a severe alcoholic for a long time and finally in 2021 I started microdosing psilocybin. My gameplan wasn't to stop drinking or anything, I just suddenly had a regular supply. Well after a few weeks I wasn't drinking nearly as much, and just had a light steady body high. 2 years later I have a beer every now and again, but I'm a far way off of drinking whole handles of whisky a day.

My story is 100% anecdotal, but whether it is psychosomatic or the real deal, I am now healthier than I ever was and have 0 cravings for alcohol.

Would you see a doctor for this? Grow your own shrooms? I want to try this so bad. I just don't know where to start.

Like I said none of this was intentional, my weed guy just offered to sell mushrooms to me. I've been to my share of music festivals and am no rookie so I said sure. Threw them in a coffee grinder and sprinkled the dust over peanut butter sandwiches. I also later tried psilocybin truffles in Amsterdam, I highly suggest.

Damn, I'm too old to know anyone who sells mushrooms haha.

They're super easy to grow if you're so inclined. Spores can be ordered online and I'm fairly certain they aren't illegal until they start producing psilocybin. Might want to research that, though...

It's the zero cravings that gets me. Like I want to drink beer for the taste but the idea of alcohol's turns me off to it. Used to start thinking about drinking at 2pm then went to never thinking about it at all.

Starting to be socially acceptable now to, that's cool

Thank you for sharing, there’s so many anecdotal stories like yours with psychedelics, it’s a shame n crime for veterans to be denied at chance to try.
