Today Edith, a recovering alcoholic with a long standing healthcare background, shares her experience and journey at Eleusinia Retreat. Being in recovery with the help of Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) for over 30 years, Edith not only discusses her research on the founder of AA, Bill W., including his treatment of his long term depression with psychedelics, but also how AA veered away from promoting psychedelics as a modality. Edith explains the way she reconciled her long term sobriety with turning to a substance like psilocybin for its healing benefits. This is a story of how one woman found herself ready for the work and benefits of working with psilocybin while being mindful of being a recovering addict. This episode also answers questions like, "How do I know if working with psilocybin is right for me in sobriety?" and "How do I prepare for the Eleusinia retreat experience while also being a person in recovery?"
