A guy claims peyote has destroyed his life.

its not always healthy to re-expose yourself to that over and over again.

Definitely and I didn't mean to take more aya to confront again and again, but to face, accept and integrate in your ever ( "sober" ) presence.

Integration happens mostly after an experience. You have your topics clear, bring them close and go for it.

... and go work on your life in the world.

Yes, in my opinion, it is all about that.
