This podcast presents an in-depth conversation on the subject of drugs, substance abuse, and addiction viewed through a spiritual lens. Andy Porter, working as a Psychic Surgeon, and his long-time spirit guide, Chen, explore the many layers of this issue in a thoughtful podcast designed to raise awareness, stimulate reflection, and offer guidance.

Introduction to Drugs and Addiction

The discussion does not simply stop at the obvious surface problems of drug use. Instead, it looks deeper into the psychological triggers that lead people to reach for substances, the physical cycle of dependency, and the spiritual implications that are often overlooked. The aim is to help viewers understand why drug use happens, how it escalates into addiction, and what can be done to support recovery at every level: body, mind, and spirit.

Why People Start Using Drugs

• Self-Medication: Drugs are often taken to mask trauma, pain, or emotional struggle. Anxiety, depression, and unresolved grief push many people toward substances that temporarily numb or distract.
• Curiosity & Rebellion: Experimentation, peer pressure, and a thirst for new sensations can lead young people into patterns that become difficult to break.
• Social Influence: Nightlife culture, media trends, and the desire to belong play a huge role in normalising drug use.
• Performance & Escape: Stimulants may be used to boost productivity, while sedatives may be used to counter stress or insomnia.
• Medical Pathways: Prescription drugs like painkillers and tranquillisers may create dependency if used beyond their original purpose.
• Life Stressors: Money worries, bereavement, family conflict, and isolation leave many looking for relief through substances.

Effects on the Human System

Drugs change brain chemistry, altering emotions, perceptions, and physical energy. They also affect the energetic system aura, etheric field, and vibration, leaving the body more open to interference. Tolerance develops, creating the need for more to achieve the same effect, while withdrawal brings physical and emotional pain that reinforces the cycle of dependency.

A Spiritual Perspective

Chen explains that spirit guides watch human choices with compassion, respecting free will, but noting that interference often plays a role. Addiction is rarely just about the chemical; it is a complex interplay of emotional wounds, physical dependency, and spiritual interference. Entities and attachments can deepen cravings, block clarity, and make recovery more difficult unless they are cleared. Spiritual cleansing and psychic surgery become important parts of the healing journey.

Challenges in Healing

Recovery must be multifaceted. Spiritual intervention clears energetic attachments but cannot heal the trauma or the body on its own. Effective recovery needs collaboration between medical treatment, psychological counselling, and spiritual healing. Currently, these worlds rarely meet, leaving people without truly holistic care.

Integrated Care & Support

Andy and Chen emphasise that long-term healing comes from combining all three levels. Clients need to understand the root causes of their addiction, receive support for their emotional struggles, and rebuild energet
