Cocaine, DMT, Cults and Spiritual Warfare | Kimberly's Recovery Story

What remarkable journeys have people faced head-on against addiction? Kimberly’s story takes that question to a whole new level. This episode follows her from a childhood steeped in drugs and terrifying violence, through homelessness, sexual abuse, heavy cocaine use, and an encounter with what she describes as occult ritual and demonic forces.

You’ll hear about early memories of her dad shooting heroin in the bathroom, being given acid at eleven, and living in a shed as a teenager while her mum smoked crack with violent dealers. Her later years include bartending in chaotic bars, heavy cocaine binges, a near-fatal overdose, and deep grief after her father’s drug-related death.

Things shift dramatically when she rents a room in what she later learns is a cult, the "priesthood of nefertum." She describes being secretly dosed with a DMT mixture during a so-called “past life regression” and says, “I’ve spent eight years being called crazy. To me, it was demonic possession.” The aftermath brings intense fear, suicidal thoughts, and feeling completely dismissed by police and services.

At her lowest point, planning to end her life, Kimberly pulls off the motorway, cries out to God, and feels what she calls a powerful peace that stops her. A women’s shelter, a church community, and a spontaneous baptism become turning points. She reports that the torment stopped that day and that faith, scripture, worship music, and supportive Christians have been the backbone of her sobriety since.

Now sober from all substances, including nicotine and cannabis, she talks about rebuilding relationships with her children, owning a small business, and living a quieter life rooted in Christianity. Her message is simple: “If God could save me, he could save anybody.” If you’ve ever felt too far gone, could this be the story that helps you question that belief?
