Can microdosing help with addiction?
Yes, microdosing is super beneficial when recovering from addiction.
The thing is though, is that if you are currently still taking alcohol or hard drugs, taking a microdose is going to have no effect because your brain is already being affected by something else that is much stronger than a microdose. Even if you're taking something like a pharmaceutical medication, this will also dull down your ability to experience the medicine fully.
If you're taking alcohol or hard drugs, or even on something like a pharmaceutical, all of these substances make it very hard for us to receive the full benefit of psychedelics. SSRI's attach to the same receptors as the psychedelic does. Mixing these substances long-term can be very detrimental to your brain.
A lot of people who are taking other substances will often take microdoses & they'll say that nothing happens & that they needed a much higher dosage & it's not because the psychedelic is not working. It's because their brain is not clear enough. You really need to be as sober as possible when consuming these medicines.
You are going to get the effect that you need from the medicine at the lowest possible dosage when you are clear of mind. Now, this isn't to say that you can't partake in cannabis if you find this is something that is useful for you. This medicine is not going to affect your microdosing at all. You may even find that microdosing actually helps you cut back on how much cannabis you consume. Although cannabis is not as damaging as alcohol & other types of hard drugs, you can still form a dependency on it & the overconsumption of it can be damaging for your brain. Microdosing gives your brain something else to attach to besides cannabis. Cannabis can often make you feel very foggy whereas microdosing does not. It makes you very clearheaded making it much easier to focus & stay productive.
I have personally struggled with addiction & I understand how incredibly hard it can be to just cut it out cold turkey & the best & most effective thing that we can do is replace it with something that is healthier. Replacing a detrimental pattern in your life with a microdosing regimen isn't an instant fix but overtime you are gonna find that it is going to really benefit your life. It can help you to stop craving those substances altogether & finally move away from those patterns.
The microdose will guide you through each day & overtime you will create a bunch of new patterns in your life that are super beneficial to you. Trust me that I understand more than anyone that it's really hard for some people to just be completely stone, cold sober & without any assistance. As somebody who refuses to be on pharmaceutical medication & also refuses to partake in all of those detrimental patterns that I used to partake in, I have found microdosing to be so helpful with helping me stay consistent in my recovery.
Microdoses taken over a long period of time will begin to repair your brain from the damage that was done to it from drug use. The microdosing will help pull you out of the depression & anxiety that is associated with getting clean & it's going to help you start creating a life that you don't feel like you need to escape from by using drugs.
It may take some time, but have some faith in yourself & have faith in the microdosing.
It changes many people's lives & it can change your life too.
