Ibogaine Relieves Opiate Addiction Stemming From PTSD - A Policeman's Story | IbogaQuest

This policeman felt “unhelpable”, and thought there were no options left to help him overcome his alcohol and opioid addiction. “I felt that I was so far gone, that there was no way back”. Whenever he felt clean, he couldn’t stop thinking about using the opiates. He researched different options for treating his addiction, but felt that getting on heavy medication and/or following other conventional methods for treating addiction wasn’t going to give him the help he was looking for. Through his ibogaine treatment for addiction, this policeman was able to reflect back on his life and could observe how childhood trauma have affected him throughout his adult life, connecting the trauma to his addiction patterns.Learn more at: https://ibogaquest.com/

Ibogaine at IbogaQuest: Increasing Self-Knowledge | IbogaQuest - Ibogaine Treatment Center in Mexico

Chris has been doing meditation for a long time, and wanted to deepen his practice at an ibogaine treatment center. “If it helps addicts get over heroin, what does it do to a persons compulsive and dysfunctional aspects?” Chris feels that if he could get in touch with a point of his life where he somehow “lost himself”, it could be a very good thing. “I felt very cared for and nurtured through my treatment.” Chris felt that his ibogaine therapy experience was both extremely difficult, but at the same time extremely beneficial. “You can see in a very clear way, where you are sabotaging yourself. It is a way of going into your psyche to see where you are causing yourself pain, where you are resisting flows of emotions, and ignoring certain things about yourself. The experience was incredibly revelatory”. Chris felt that he walks away from the experience with a tremendous sense of peace and hope.Visit https://ibogaquest.com/ for more information.

Letters from past clients

Hello Barry,

Just wanted to touch base with you and let you know about how I’m doing. it’s been about 4 months now and the answer is… I couldn’t be better, no interest in drinking at all, 4 months is nothing, I’m still amazed how effortless it’s been, wow!

That time of the day when it’s time to relax I keep working or do something else. I feel a lot calmer and focused, no more excessive sweating, Yay! Been also reading a lot more and eating healthier than ever in the past. My body is responding nicely. I’m going through a natural detox I would say.

I want to thank both of you for my rebirth, it was exactly what the doctor ordered and I hope someday to return just for a fun vacation.

I tell people all the time about my experience at IBOGA QUEST.

Keep up the good work helping people take back the power to control their lives, rather than being controlled, and you both do it very well.

Much Sincere love and gratitude,

Geoff

When submerged in darkness we must self immolate. We must burn to the bottom of the wick, nervously paying witness as we brace to be extinguished, as we steel ourselves for what we believe must be final…yet as the wax retreats, rolling away in the wake of the flame, we are blessed with the revelation that we can continue to go deeper. That there is so much more beneath the surface….

This is where I am. Through my great fortune, the events of the last two weeks have reignited the quintessential inner flame of curiosity and, with the subtle hand of the lighthouse keeper, this flame can be focused into an piercing glow. Where this will take me I cannot say. What I can say is that my excitement is building into a fevered pitch. I have learned to shut my mouth and listen, to look, to observe, and ultimately to learn; yet the extent of my personal growth has become apparent only as I have familiar settings in which to make a contrast. When I arrived back in North Dakota I felt as if I had landed in an alien world. I am flabbergasted by how much of the world I have been completely oblivious to. The richness of the color, the character of each and every blade of grass and the edifices strewn across the landscape that, although I drive by them each and every day, I have somehow failed to notice….

In short, I want to thank everyone once more. I look forward to seeing each and every one of you during my next visit to Mexico.

With love and everlasting gratitude.

Hey Barry,

I hope you and Veronica are well! I wanted to drop you a note to let you know that I am doing very well. I am still clean and sober. No narcotics no booze and getting stronger every day. I have been working hard in recovery programs and Learning to live life on life’s terms. It hasn’t all been rainbows and puppy dogs but I can face the hard days without drugs and get through them with strength and hope. I want to keep in touch. I owe my freedom to your help and kindness. I am proof that miracles happen because of you guys. I haven’t had a single craving or thought if using since the day I set foot in your home. MIRACLE! I crawled out of a very dark world with your help. There are simply no words adequate to express my gratitude.

Barry,

How do you thank someone for helping you see again? I am not going to try. I was at a turning point. Sixty years old and strung out again? How can this keep happening? The Opiates had crept back into my life and I had been on an Opiate substitute for 4 years. This particular drug left me comfortable but numb. I couldn’t “feel my life”, I was alive but not living. I tried to find a way out. I traveled to Europe. I went to Uganda with a group of photographers and spend time with Aids orphans. I wanted to be of service to someone else, maybe that would change how I felt, but you can’t transmit something you do not have. I returned from Africa and the grayness of my life returned. I knew I had to get free of all the drugs that were keeping me in the darkness. I knew I had to do something, or I was not going to last much longer. Then I found Barry and Veronica, interesting how these things happen. I am so grateful that I did.

The ibogaine treatment was, well amazing. I did suffer with withdrawal, but the medicine finally come to my rescue. Anyone who has had the experience will know, it is not easy to describe in words the ibogaine experience. I am now close to three weeks since my treatment under the watchful eyes of Barry and Veronica. They were with me through it all. Rarely have I seen such dedication in two individuals. After the Ibogaine, I now can see that Life itself is such a gift. I know that every living thing, including myself, is a part of something much bigger. That life itself is full of wonder, mystery, and joy. This is better than being “high”. This is being awake, and it feels amazing. Hasta Luego.

Como estas Amigo,

I made it back safely and I’m feeling better than ever thanks to you and Ibogaine! I really appreciate how warm and welcoming you were and I felt right at home the whole time. It was also nice sharing thoughts and ideas with someone so open and non-judgmental.

I look forward to visiting you again in the future, but next time I’ll be bringing my wife with me also as she is very interested after seeing what Ibogaine has done for me. By the way, last night I slept great and had all kinds of dreams, for the first time in ages.

Thanks again, my friend, for helping me take that next BIG step in life. Take care and I’ll talk to you soon!

Follow-up correspondence: Yes, I have received exactly what I needed from the Ibogaine and I still have no urges to go back to my former ways. I feel like a heavy burden has been lifted from me.
