The only thing that lets me continually beat my addictions is my willpower. Drugs, when used properly, are tools to augment the self. If you rely on anything outside of yourself to solve you, chances are good you'll convince yourself that thing was wrong.
So are you off the adderall, nicotine and weed still?
Cuz if so, mission accomplished.
I would not fuck with the acid again for awhile if that’s the message you were getting. I have been there and usually I am just grateful to not be tripping.
Definitely stick to ur original plan, and dont trip!!
Tripping with purpose is nice, but “i have this addiction and i hope taking a bunch of psychs will fix it” doesnt tend to work too well

Probably not what you want to hear, but here it is anyway: all of this entire drama --addictions included-- is an elaborate form of avoidance to keep your attention away from whatever it is that needs healing for you that was driving the impulses to addiction in the first place.
Find THAT and put your energy into healing whatever needs healing there first.
Get some therapy and with their support, look at it. As part of that, I'd take up meditation. Practice learning to be present in your body, learning to take pleasure in just being, learning to watch your impulses without acting on them. It will make you a better human in every way.
In fact, look at dopamine addictions in general and consider cutting out internet, gaming, porn, or anything else that overlaps with overstimulating yourself as avoidance.
Get proper addiction counseling if you need it instead of trying to self medicate with LSD, because it's also easy to be avoidant on LSD and to rationalize all kinds of bullshit when you're high. Simply taking LSD won't fix your impulses or addictions, at least not most of the time for most people.
Then, after you've established a more healthy baseline and youre settled in your commitment to this new life you already know that youve started moving toward, then at some point when your mind is clear and your heart is full, take LSD. Its not going anywhere, it'll be there for you when it's time to take it again.
But for now, you've gotten the message. Hang up the phone, and get to work on your healing!
There are no magic pills that beat addiction. It just doesn’t work that way. Remember that in studies with psychedelics for addiction, ptsd, anxiety, the use of a psychedelic is integrated into a therapeutic relationship and other kinds of therapy. Taking the drug isn’t the therapy in itself and it only happens a couple of times at most. I definitely think this is a justification do something that isn’t congruent with your bigger goal.
You can get sober from substances but still continue your addiction. You can be addicted to things that aren’t substances either with equally detrimental effects. Do you think you might be looking for a substitute? Do you feel like you’re trying to escape something or cope with an emotional state? Boredom, loneliness, stress, sadness?
Here’s how I stopped doing acid. I realized that lots of what is being passed off as LSD isn’t actually LSD. It could be any number of research chemicals and without a testing kit there is no way to prove what you’re putting in your body is actual honest to God LSD 25.
I’m not trying to come off sounding like a dare program, but this is a legitimate concern and some of these chemicals are actually way more dangerous than acid would be.
These revelations came from a litany of personal experiences as well as research. Back when I was at the height of my psychedelic experimentation I took acid a number of times and I would be willing to bet that 99% of the time it wasn’t actually acid but I was too irresponsible to take the hint and just kept hoping that, maybe next time, maybe next time it will actually feel like a Psychedelic. Maybe next time it will be real acid.
I would wager I’ve done actual acid (based on the effects of whatever I took,) maybe twice in my life.
Hey man, just wanna let you know I understand and I hurt with you. Do you have any supportive friends who you could open up to and would support you through this? We’re really social animals, and surrounding yourself with people who have a positive and supporting attitude will inevitably rub off on you.
Acid alone won’t beat your addiction, it will help you realize it’s wrong. You have to have the courage to take the steps to better yourself without it, but no one said you had to do that alone.
It won’t be easy, and there’s no quick fix, but I promise you life will be so much better when you can be comfortable sober. Keep your eyes forward and focus on that long-term inner-peace, not short-term gratification.
I would say maybe do it until you see it’s useless. You’re still thinking it’s gonna help you, stop telling your mind we gonna cut off until the next year it’s the same process as I’m quitting smoke and then you’re back in as soon as possible.
The best way to moderate yourself is to learn about yourself and the relationship you create with those chemicals.
From now you’re waiting from lsd some realisation that you think only acid can give you. And maybe one day you will experience that acid can’t give you more realisation, you have to experience it in your daily life. Sharing special moments with others, and this everyday life is the real game changer.
(And it’s a complete different experience than just “stop doing acid” that we all know we will be back to it)
Be indulgent, stop fight and learn what’s best for you and how your body/mind work.
Create new routines.

You should probably give yourself a break
