I'm 21 years old male currently on collage. My previous experiences include alcohol, marijuana, shrooms, lsd, xanax and dxm.

It's been almost a year since I don't drink anymore, I had huge problems because of my drinking. One time I got drunk and had an argument with my parents and my dad wanted to call the police. I was frustrated and ended up breaking few windows on their house. He said that he won't talk to me unless I stop drinking and doing drugs. First I thought like: I don't need them either, but soon after that I had a bad bad trip on shrooms that made me question everything about my life at the moment. I knew that I need to change and stop doing what I was doing. I've tried to smoke weed as a substitute to alcohol but it just made me more anxious and didn't feel right either.

I began to have problems with sleep, so severe that I almost experienced a delirium from not sleeping. I went to doctor and he gave me valium, it kind of helped but it made my brain so slow and I could barely study for the exams I had in college.

I quit valium on my own and I was experiencing severe anxiety after quitting. A good friend of mine said that she used valerian as a sleep aid and for anxiety. I bought some valerian tincture online and started taking 30 drops 3 times a day. It really helped me go trough dark reality that I had to face.

I told my family that I'm clean now and that I feel much more happy than before. I quit taking valerian and felt no withdrawals or anything. It helped me go through a lot.
