In this episode with Medicine with the Medals, Vanessa shares her profound journey of recovery and her exploration of plant medicines, shedding light on the importance of responsible and intentional use of these medicines.

Vanessa recounts her early introduction to alcohol as a teenager and how it became a coping mechanism, eventually leading to her recovery through 12-step programs. However, she felt a spiritual stagnancy after years of sobriety, prompting her to seek deeper healing and consciousness expansion through plant medicines. Vanessa emphasizes the significance of approaching psychedelics with intention and responsibility, highlighting the need for proper integration.

The conversation also touches on the historical connection between Bill Wilson, co-founder of Alcoholics Anonymous (AA), and psychedelic experiences like LSD. Vanessa advocates for reducing stigma and judgment within recovery communities surrounding alternative healing methods. She introduces her program, "Sobriety of the Soul," as an educational and coaching platform to help individuals integrate psychedelic medicines into their recovery journey.

Her personal experiences with plant medicines underscore their transformative potential and the importance of developing a relationship with these medicines, with a strong emphasis on integration and applying the lessons learned in everyday life.

Vanessa Crites encourages a balanced and intentional approach to using psychedelics as tools for healing within the context of addiction recovery, empowering individuals to define their own sobriety goals while remaining open to the transformative power of these plant medicines.
