Ibogaine gives you the best chance to get off opiates. I have also battled opiate addiction for a good part of my life. I have done three floods but have eventually relapsed every time. But don't be discouraged, the relapses were my fault and due to lack of insight into the "work" that we need to do ourselves after ibogaine instead of relying on ibogaine to cure everything. It gives us the chance to be free of addiction, but as someone else said it's not a "magic bullet". What it does for sure, or a least in my case, is pretty much 100% eliminates the physical withdrawals. It also gives you a reset of the opiate receptors which will substantially shorten the period of PAWS which follows opiate cessation.
I know well the feeling you expressed about opiates that "They make me gregarious, fun, want to play with the kids, pay bills, etc". Finding joy without opiates is the "work" that we have to do after getting the great benefit from this medicine. It's taken me a long time to realize this aspect, and to also learn a perspective about how to view life so as to find joy again without pain pills. Life problems don't go away after ibogaine, but we are given a chance to learn how to deal with life problems without letting the stress and anxiety of life lead us back into our old habits. Simply put, it involves a change to a more positive attitude, appreciating things as they happen, and not worrying or fretting about the future. You already know that opiates eventually suck the life out of you and also empty the wallet quickly.
You sound committed. You have certainly found the right place to get good information and advice. There are a lot of people around here with a lot of knowledge and a great willingness to help. Trying to explain to friends and family your plan to use ibogaine is a tricky proposition. You have to educate them just like you educated yourself on the topic. You may choose not to share your plans with others but for a very few. I still laugh when recalling first telling my brother of my plan. He thought I had lost my mind. He was actually pretty close to correct. I was desperate to get off the pain pills and was just about going bonkers dealing with the guilt and loss of control over my life.
In summary, there's no easy way out of this trap/mass we got ourselves into, but ibogaine is by far the best option. Keep studying to learn everything you can, particularly the steps you need to take after the flood. Things like boosters, diet, supplements that help, the great benefit of exercise, the benefits of yoga/meditation, support groups etc. I wish you the best of luck.
