I am an alcoholic. It absolutely did not work. As for addicts, I was treated along with about 10 heroin addicts who also felt that it probably did not work for them. Addiction is addiction. Alcoholism is definitely as bad as drug addiction - it's the same thing.
Many addicts have obsessive compulsive disorder.
If you have any disorder, you don't want to take ibogaine. I was told ibogaine was not a hallucinogen - bullshit. It's like acid times one million. I saw God alright - I talked to him. And I was so sure it was real.
