Smoking/Drugs - Existing Damage

Okay so I really detest admitting flaws in front of my brothers and sisters yet we are a family and this is what we are here for.

I'll make this quick yet detailed. I have been a Zevist since 2017-18 but didn't start meditation until somewhere in 2019 and I lacked consistency. It wasn't until late 2020 that I truly started to get disciplined. Anyhow, during 2018-2019-2020 I was into Cocaine, Methamphetamine, Cannabis, Cigarettes, and I was on Anti-Depressants. It was some of the worst times in my life in Mind, Body and Soul. Only through Satan was I able to get a taste of fresh air; I have been clean from stimulants from half of 2020 until now. As for cannabis I have been clean since around February 2021 until now. The only thing that I still struggle with is cigarettes as funny as that is. I do not buy them anymore but my girls parents are smokers and I always smoke when I am around them. I just went 3 weeks with no smoking yet folded last night when they offered it to me.

Given the above, I have suffered the lasting effects. My physical health as taken it's toll, especially my lungs. I have made great strides with the afflictions of my Mind and Soul yet still have work to do. I didn't realize just how much damage these substances do to your moral compass, I have done things out of my true character that I only feel regret and guilt for. I only realized the depravity of myself since advancing, meditation has brought up colossal sea monsters and sometimes I feel small in comparison to them. I understand that my childhood played a part as well. Lady Agares has really been there for me and reassuring me that I haven't been forsaken.

I do hatha yoga twice a day along with pranayama, meditation, and Ritual's. I think I need to root out the issues more specifically though.

So I guess I just wanted to share a little about myself to my family in Satan and hope that I can get some advice and maybe a working or two.

Love hearing that you’ve made progress, this kind of stuff makes me very happy. No need to be ashamed. Strengthening the crown is great for repairing damage from drug use, you could start a Jupiter square next Thursday.

Health wise there are probably some effects it’s had on your overall clarity and happiness. Anxiety is usually bad after drug use.

Magnesium sulfate, I use the brand calm, helps a lot. You could take some once a night. The effects are pretty instant. I hear from many people that lions mane mushrooms are effective for brain function. I’ve had them through tincture extracts before and it’s actually phenomenal for focus. These are some things that help instantly and effectively.

Taking daily basic vitamins and fish oil or omega’s are great for brain function and reparation long term. If you’re in an area that lacks sunlight, it’s essential that people take d3.

Congratulations on your achievements so far. I know how hard addiction can be to overcome, what you have done so far is an incredible achievement, I can relate to some of the issues stated which is why I understand the depths of it. I will tell you how it worked for me. Know why you want to quit, know why smoking is harmful to your health. If you deep down like smoking, and miss smoking, remove this thought and this emotion, don't even think about smoking at all, don't feed that thought, practice a lot of void meditation and erase these thoughts of smoking, completely. As soon as they come, erase them.

Take a look at your birth chart, if you are so deep into addiction then chances are you have a prominent Neptune and the way to sublimate these energies is by focusing on the positive properties of Neptune, engage deeper into meditation, find ways to express your escapism tendencies through creativity - music, poetry, art, whatever. This will help sublimate the energies of Neptune in the long run.

The Earth element will also help you get more grounded, and build discipline. But again, check in your chart if you really need it.

You can also use the Nauthiz rune to enforce some real discipline upon your self and/or Wunjo rune to heal your body and mind.

Unless there are real issues with the brain, you don't need any therapist at all, and specially no medicine whatsoever. You can do this on your own in a much more healthy and invigorating way.

Drugs can be very damaging, but nothing is lost. Just keep up the good work, don't be so hard on yourself, don't be consumed by guilt, take it easy and learn what works for you, I quit in a day and never looked back but some people need slower approaches, like for example, say you smoke a pack a day, try to make it a pack for 2 days, then 3 days, 4 days, and so on. Know yourself and your mind, this may take time and much meditation to get you through this rediscovery process.

Try to not fail a day in mediation and also to not give in to addiction, but if you do, don't be disheartened for failing one day, tomorrow is another day, another chance to improve.

In the long run, if you never quit, if you meditate consistently every single day, eventually you will break free from those monsters you speak of, you will rise above them, and all of this will be just a learned lesson from the past.

Stay strong, never give up!

Can you be more precise on what has been damaged?

You said psyche and soul, what are you referring to?

What do u mean by :
„ I didn't realize just how much damage these substances do to your moral compass, I have done things out of my true character that I only feel regret and guilt for.“

Well aside from any physical ailments my Mind went to dark places. I hurt family and friends emotionally and mentally. I lied and cheated them in more ways than one. The damage I talk of is the perpetual guilt, shame, and regret I feel when I look back on my actions. I don't walk around mopping about it or anything but I can feel it. I can't tell you what chakras may be damaged but I'm assuming the lower ones if I had to guess. I was thinking of using Waunyo on the 25th for Emotional Healing By Lydia.

Don’t you think it would be a better idea to approach the people in your life, tell them one evening to sit down with you as you have to open up to them and come clear, tell them how you feel and ask them how they feel and felt about it, tell them the truth, hug them and move on?

Most things in life are not 666% only spiritual, spirituality is a great tool and help, but for most things it is actually mire physical and emotional.

You can take material action and support this spirituality.

I appreciate your kind words. We've never had the pleasure so thank you for your time. I am actually already doing a Jupiter square for the crown as is ( I notice the shade of violet is whack), but I will certainly look into to the other things you said.

Perhaps yes. I will keep that in mind. Thanks Nin

I'm typing this really quickly so sorry if there is a few errors.

I thought i'd list a working for others who are also struggling with addictions.

begin in a favorable sign for removing obstacles, healing, etc.

empower the soul with the full RAUM meditation after getting the energy buzz. inhale bright green shimmering Gold energy on each inhale affirm

"I am breathing in powerful Harmonic energy.
This energy is building an aura of harmony around me.
This aura NULLIFIES (X) craving at all times and in every way"

This has worked wonders for me hopefully other will find a use for it too.

although for you; as I was staring at your avatar, Agares, said she had "full confidence in you" because I was worrying too much. :lol:

considering the other monsters you've tackled I'm sure you'll be fine

Good luck :)
