Can I treat Addiction with Psychedelics

[Alfonsoo]

How can I use psychedelics for dealing/ treating addictions. I find that after a trip, the next couple of days I feel totally free from addictions like mastrurbation, porn, junk food, tv and all superficial activities, but mainly because I’m not in the mood because of the intensity of the trip, I’m still graying to soak it all in but after a week or so these bad habits start to crawl back. How can I focus the psychedelics to treat the addictions. Maybe something I do during the trip or before I don’t know. Or some practices I can do aside that work in conjunction with the psychs for the addiction problems

The reason you lose interest in your addictions after psychadelics is because your brain is flooded with neurotransmitters for a week or so after the psychadelic which make the need for your addictions diminish. 

The way to reduce/eliminate addictions is to become conscious of when the cravings arise for whatever your pet addiction is, notice them and experience them fully without giving in to them.  Addictions are just a way for us to avoid feeling our feelings/sensations/thoughts arising that we may view as unpleasant.  

Just view the sensations as they arise in your body - whatever they are and don't try to analyse or name them.  If a story arises around them, ignore it and just focus on the sensations. Teach yourself to fully experience whatever is going on without distracting yourself away from it.  The only real way out is through - there's no other way.
