Learning
Right, the drugs help to self medicate. I watched a documentary on the classic rock bank, Motley Crue, and it was saying, "you can have all of the excesses, but eventually we have to realize that we were just Killing ourselves". I notice that most of my clients still say that marijuana seems to work for PTSD, possibly due to the cannabinoid receptor being sort of a pain killer, but also putting you in the here in now. Of course, it's illegal, and again, I just got sick of being high all of the time? CBD is interesting, the extract, which is not illegal. Speaking of being in the here and now, I use "mindfulness meditation", that is learning to get out of your head, and into the right now, what is happening now, the sounds, scents, and so on; seems to stop the obsessing/ruminating. I think I learned that from using marijuana, and then was able to stop it's use too.I am glad to read that I am not the only one that says addiction saved my life at one time...and any heal...
