Does iboga also help with gambling addiction? What I have actually heard many times
In short: Many people I support come because of alcohol, opiates, cocaine or pills. They do not even think about their gambling addiction. Only at home do they notice: the urge to go to the gambling hall is gone. I get feedback like this again and again.
What do people tell me?
Many who come to me do not even have their gambling addiction on their radar. They are busy with their other addiction. Only at home do they notice it. Then someone calls and says: "I walk past the gambling hall, and it no longer pulls me in."
For me, these are the most beautiful calls. Because gambling addiction is a strong addiction. It is hard to break, especially at the slot machines, where people throw in most of their money.
Why is gambling addiction so hard to let go of?
Gambling addiction has no substance you can stop taking. The urge sits in the head and in old habits. I have seen it for 15 years: iboga changes something inside us. That is why people report that addictions they had not even thought about also become quieter.
And microdosing?
Some describe microdosing as a support in everyday life, to let go of old habits and build new ones. What that can look like for you is very personal.
If you have high blood pressure, iboga can become very unpleasant or even dangerous, so have it checked beforehand if this applies to you.
