    I relate to this. Trauma is a big contribution to addiction. Delving into childhood trauma is the scariest thing. Ive done some work on it but I could do more.

      'There is no way out' is a lie addiction/mental illness tells you I think (battling it too)

    That was brilliant. Thank you Matt and it has giving me energy to throw in the towel after so many years dabbling and enter treatment for the third time. I am done.

    For those suffering from addiction, it isn't your fault. If you look into Gabor Mate you will see that it's down to trauma.

    Pharmaceutical drugs are terrible poisons - from the wife of a poor victim stuck forever on a cocktail of high-dose nasties for depression that he is unable to withdraw from, and believe me, we've tried everything.

    I wonder if he will try psychedelic assisted psychotherapy. There is an amazing clinic called Awaken in Bristol that uses Ketamine. So much more research to be done on how addiction can be treated by psychedelic therapy.

      Some sort of Phycociliban trials have been run tested and brought forward for approval until then.....

    Whatever helps reduce harm is great. A pill isn't going to heal the trauma that almost always precedes addiction xo

      @maksimatic it's both. In 12 step programmes I have rarely met any one who didn't have significant trauma. Alcoholism is common in ptsd sufferers

      Addiction issues are also very common among children who go through the foster care system
