It is good to not have many expectations of how you want your journeys to go. Ultimately iboga will give you what you need, not always what you expect. The first journey may be more of a physical detox and may be totally different from your second journey, so do not get discouraged through the process. You may have some \ups and downs\ through the process which is normal. What you feel like on day 3 will be a lot different than what you feel like on day 7 or 8.
