Sorry for chiming in so late on this, but it struck me.
Here we have a person who, by their own admission was a drug addict who used and abused hard drugs to the point that it was extremely dysfunctional and required treatment.
This suggests several things to me. First, this person's brain is likely no longer operating according to factory specifications.
Second, the person may be unusually vulnerable to addictions and addictive behaviors.
And also, that this person has a prior demonstrated obsession with unusual experiences.
And here we have this person, testifying to having experiences which are not shared by the bulk of his peers (even among Christians, much of his experience is outside the norm).
Moreover, he claims that if he were deprived of the continuing presence of certain of these experiences, he doesn't know "how he could live."
No offense, js, but I'm not sure I need a transcendent creator to explain the facts of your experience.
