Adam Butler reached a point where he could no longer ignore what alcohol and anger were doing to his life and relationships.
Adam joins Jay Hicks and Gary DeFranco to talk about that period, his experiences with DMT, and the personal changes he describes in Butler's DMT Field Guide. He looks back on behavior he regrets and the difficulty of facing pain he had spent years trying to escape.
The conversation explores meditation, grief, self-reflection, and the meaning Adam finds in psychedelic experiences. He and the hosts discuss the work of changing daily life, rebuilding connection, and being honest about the person looking back from the mirror.
Content note: Discussion of addiction and psychedelic drug experiences.
