Bills' Jordan Poyer Credits Ayahuasca for Overcoming Alcohol Struggles

The NFL player shares his transformative journey from addiction to sobriety, attributing his newfound perspective to the plant-based psychedelic.

Buffalo Bills safety Jordan Poyer has opened up about his struggles with alcohol and his use of the plant-based psychedelic ayahuasca, which he says has helped him overcome his addiction and improve his life.
Poyer, who has been sober since shortly before the COVID-19 pandemic began, consumed ayahuasca at a retreat center in Costa Rica following the 2022 season. He says the experience helped him see 'the highest version of himself' and changed his perspective on life.
Poyer's drinking had previously caused problems in his marriage and everyday life. Since his experience with ayahuasca, he says his marriage is in a much better place and he's become a key leader for the Bills both on and off the field.
Poyer is in his seventh season with the Bills and has recorded three pass breakups, one forced fumble, one sack, 73 tackles, two tackles for loss and two quarterback hits in 12 games.
The Bills, with a 7-6 record, enter Sunday's matchup against the Dallas Cowboys hoping to improve their playoff chances.
