In 2021, I came down with a mystery illness, perhaps a variant of COVID. My body basically shut down; I lost fifteen pounds. There was a mental aspect to it I have never experienced before. As I came out of it, I was filled with anxiety and uncertainty.

I started microdosing:  the Stamets protocol, 4 days on, 3 days off. I noticed an immediate improvement in my mood and thinking. In fact, my mental recovery outpaced my physical recovery.

Mushrooms are our friends and for that I am grateful.

I started with the Fadiman protocol – 1 day on, 2 off. Also, as one with AUD, I’ve found the desire to drink lessening.

Normally during the holiday and winter months I experience depression. This year, I didn’t. Not that I felt excited or uplifted by the season but I didn’t feel the typical depression.  Also, as one with AUD, I’ve found the desire to drink lessening.
