Addicted to Amanita Muscaria

By Yordan Angelov

This book is about my addiction to Amanita muscaria - the most iconic mushroom in the world. But it is also much more than that. What you hold in your hands is the story of a neurodivergent individual who found himself in the relentless grip of dependence.

First, I guide you into the strange and fascinating world of Amanita muscaria itself - its place in nature, its deep roots in folklore and history, its ritual use across cultures, its unique chemistry, and the growing interest in its therapeutic potential.

From there, we descend into the labyrinth of addiction. Together we explore its many forms and its origins - neurobiological, psychological, social, and spiritual - asking the difficult question: how does healing truly begin?

Finally, I share my own journey. From childhood, through adolescence and early adulthood, to the two-year struggle that reshaped my life - how this addiction began, how it tightened its hold, and how I ultimately found a way out.

This is not just a story about a mushroom. It is a story about struggle, resilience, and finding a way back.
