Can you expound your experience(s) with the Holy Spirit? What does/did it feel like? Was it auditory or a feeling, or was it a series of life experiences? Was the communication one-way or two-way? Were you ever wrong in attributing something to the Holy Spirit, and you found out later?

A general feeling of guidance to do a certain thing, followed by a full-body feeling of euphoria when doing that thing. Sometimes accompanied by "coincidental" positive interactions surrounding that thing.

Ephesians 5:18 instructs us to "not get drunk on wine, which leads to debauchery. Instead, be filled with the Spirit". And it is indeed accurate that the feeling is a higher high than wine or weed will take you. I suppose molly or heroin might be superior but I have no experience with those. And there's something psychologically nice about feeling good because you are doing the God-ordained right-thing, versus simply hijacking chemical receptors. And the Holy Spirit has no "come-down", which is nice.

Do you have Scriptural support for that? It seems like the Holy Spirit often communicated with words (e.g., "the Spirit said to Philip, “Go over and join this chariot.”"), unless you think that is simply the way it is recorded

Sure: Luke 4, Hebrews 9, Acts 20, and John 14 all are very relatable, and 2 Peter 1 touches on my experience as well.

(In addition to the more verbal guidance you mention.)
