When addiction gets too much...
tui:
Howdy to all my old friends and hello to those of you I haven't met yet, it has been awhile.
I stumbled across this website yesterday, it's called 129 a day. My god it made me so sad, seeing how this fucking crazy war on drug users is destroying so many lives. Apparently 129 people die from OD every day in the US alone. Woah. It was hard even typing that. I know we all know so many people who have been lost to this disease.
Here's a link to that website if you're interested: http://www.129aday.org/
Anyway, I am ranting now because this really touched my heart. I know what it's like to feel like there is no way out and to be stuck in a cycle of despair and craving. I don't know what would have happened to me if I hadn't heard about ibogaine and had the support to receive the treatment. I had already tried quitting every which way the medical professionals recommended, but the cravings were overpowering and I'd manage to hold out for a bit and then fail miserably and the whole cycle would begin again. You probably know the drill.
I was treated with ibogaine 2.5 years ago and it was a miracle for me. I didn't have to struggle with a painful detox, crazy brain chemistry lows or cravings. I think it's criminal that more people don't have info and access to this treatment and so many are suffering needlessly.
So I just wanted to put it out there that if anyone is feeling trapped and ready to be free from drugs, there is hope!
If you want to talk with me in person I am happy to skype with you and share my experiences and answer any qs you may have.
Peace and love to all you beautiful junkies!

TUI!!!
No bullshit, I was just wondering about you this VERY morning as I counted down the hours until my MMT clinic opened up.
I was pondering Ibogain firstly.... then I recalled that YOU used Ibo w/ spectacular success.
Evidence of its/your success, was that I was thinking....
"Been soooo long since I've heard from Tui.... I wonder if the Ibo still carried over into a great life free of addiction and ALL that comes with it."
And here you are....
Speaking out about your success and experience.
That's so fuckin RAD!
I'm so happy for you.... sincere.
I've been pondering leaving this shit behind now that I have a little girl on the way. Even more so than before.
Which was a lot.
I wonder if being so close to Mexico, if I could truly conceivably FIND an Ibogaine Treatment Center?
I've reduced from 120mg to 90mg over a 6 mo.period.
I want to continue my descent..... but my life has become SO MUCH MORE demanding with little ones.
I just hate to think of chasing babies around in a perpetual kick, losing my shit and locking myself in the bathroom for hrs. consecutive, trying to do an honest to God MD taper.
Should have stayed away from it all, especially after my last time I got "clean".
Anyway..... so good and serendipitous hearing from you
I hope you're kicking ass and chewing bubble gum homegirl. Glad to hear that you're well.
You take good care... hope to hear back sometime soon.

Tui!
Great to see you post.
Also, thanks for sharing your ibogaine story. Any side effects?
I remember people talking about it and thinking it may be too good to be true. So glad it worked for you.
I did a stretch taper to get off done 18 mos ago, and use low doses of hydro/lidocaine. Sometimes not enough, but it's nice to almost forget my refill appointment rather than counting the minutes for a week.
Congrats, and stay well!

Snoop!
You have another baby on the way?! Wow! That is very cool.
My experience with ibogaine was just amazing. And I feel like it helped me heal in such a deep and profound way. It healed on all levels - physical, emotional, mental, spiritual. Life is magical and full of meaning now and I never had that before. Yeah. It's beyond words really.
So still no cravings or thoughts of "yeah that'd be nice...".
It's such a gift to feel free without the spectre of relapse hovering.
There will def be a treatment centre for you in Mexico. That is the way!
I would love to see you be free from the struggle of slow reduction. I don't know how people do it.
Big love for you my brother <3
Dhedmo!
Hello hello :-)
So good to see your name on my screen. And so good to hear you have found a smooth balance and opiates aren't running the show!
Side effects: Hard to sleep for the first 2 weeks. I had to smoke a lot of ganja, which I don't usually do. That helped hugely. Also the feeling of wearing a concrete suit. Slow moving and pretty exhausted for the first week or so. I had some mild nausea for the first few days which is unusual, they think it is from the chemicals in the AA we use here in NZ. It was a dream compared to every other kick I'd suffered through. Especially from methadone, my god that's usually the most horrific and long-lasting kick.
Thanks for saying hello. Take care old friend. <3
Thoms:
Hi tui, we never talked but I know a little of your story. I've got a friend who wants to give ibo a shot, he might use ten to 15 norcos a day so his habit is smallish. What kinda tolly do you think is fairing for this treatment t
