Tim dives into his experiences with shamanism and the controversial use of hallucinogenics like Ayahuasca and Psilocybin in addiction recovery.
He even shares a bizarre story of emerging from the woods with an axe, unsure if he was the 'Angel of Death' or the 'Angel of Life'. It’s a tale that’s both unsettling and oddly humorous.
