I'm supposing I am the "other new member" and yes, our stories are very similar. Remember what I posted, I am THREE years off of it now. But I had a "God Moment" as you saw, and the need to poison and destroy myself was totally lifted from me because of that experience. Hence my From Death to Life title of my post. You sound like your whole energy has changed too, and you are in a place with a new fresh start. You see my avatar on the post right? I am 100% a beleiver in the Yin Yang or Tao of the Spirit. It is all just Energy, and you can touch it on the light side or the dark side. It is the reason that if you read enough DMT stories you will see it isn't always these "positive" beings out there beyond our perception. There are dark things too, but all exist within the great whole. I remember that pure white energy and light I encountered and I try to just pull parts of it out every day where I can. Three years clean, I am a far better person than I ever was before in a number of ways. At 8 weeks in, you have a nice head start. I too had friends that died at ridiculously young ages due to very bad habits. I hope your journey stays on the Path of Light.

Be Well.
