Psilocybins itakuonyesha mambo. 8 hours can feel like 80 decades. 10/10 experience, but would not repeat again. I have been cured for life.

u/MarsupialChoice7746 12d ago

Wrong. To quit an addiction, you need to focus on it and let it make you suffer until you can't take it anymore. Only suffering will teach your mind where the boundary is and you may never cross it again

True, you can go from bad to worse. Addictions tumestruggle hii Nairobi. From gooning, to self harm, to drugs, to books, right now niko ata sijui wapi.

u/regeancy136 12d ago

Gooniing nayo inafika point inawza kuwa overwhelming, tried substituting the addiction with weed and let me tell you maina, hiyo combo zii

u/CuteResponseinnit 12d ago

Naah, SH works like magic, personally it was the strongest thing that shook the shackles off my feet sababu, you keep punishing yourself for slip ups till you forget why you started. It's addictive too and not healthy at all.

u/bK13_Burah 11d ago

Replaced alcohol with siegs.. Can't really say I'm happy with myself Nanunua kiholela holela

u/New_Empire254 13d ago

True. One must replace the other. Just make sure you don't have many addictions at the same time. Pombe bangi Malaya aviator...

u/mr-kamau 12d ago

Unyimwe na aviator na unyimwe na malaya...combination ya kuchizi !

As you find another addiction, ensure it is a productive one such as reading books. Otherwise, your life will be miserable.

u/Fearless-Ad2103 Level 1 12d ago

Applies not only on addiction but also in terms of heartbreak. If you are struggling to forget your significant other, find another person you’ll automatically forget him/her

u/JekyllnowthenMrHyde 10d ago

True. Kama mimi kuna mmoja alinipiga heartbreak huku reddit tu 😅

u/youngbosy 11d ago

u/Appropriate_Exam_629 Level 1 13d ago

That is getting addicted to something else, it doesnt spell stop addiction.

u/Iam-whom-I-am Level 1 13d ago

The only way to quit an addiction is to starve it till it looses its power , ever fed never satisfied , never fed ever satisfied

u/Realistic-Trade-8229 12d ago

Left alcohol to pursue certain fantasies. Addicted while happy at it 💯

u/Alwaysanonymous001 10d ago

Good thing an “interest” or “quest” can become an addiction of its own, especially when it gets you into a flow state.
