Healing Addiction with Plant Medicine & the 12 Step Program

Written by Johanna, a recent visitor of Nihue Rao Espiritual & Sacred Rebels Recovery in Iquitos Peru I just celebrated 22 months of continuous sobriety. For the majority of my adult life, I used alcohol and cannabis every day. I believed that these substances made my life manageable, and because I had a job and a roof over my head, I did not believe I had a problem. Even though I struggled with depression, anxiety, and irritability, I never attributed my problems to my drug and alcohol consumption. I felt that cannabis, in particular, was my medicine.

Permaculture, gardening and Addiction recovery. How gardening & permaculture support the recovery process

Anyone who has spent time gardening already knows how beneficial it is for your mental health. It’s fun, hard work (in a good way) while also being an amazing way to cope with stress. Gardening allows you to connect with nature while providing you with a quiet time to reflect or not have to think at all, a form of active meditation. Whether it’s raking leaves, planting seeds, or harvesting your previous hard work, gardening and being active outside working with plants is a great way to spend time in your recovery.

Psychedelics are also not for everyone, there are many things to consider before exploring psychedelic recovery as an option or as an aid to your recovery process.
