How an Addicted Brain Works

[@HALTSMAULALLLER]

And now imagine that physical opiate withdrawal is added to that. Because this is mainly caused by noradrenaline. The lack of dopamine makes you feel incredibly tired and weak, but the adrenaline doesn't let you sleep. Your body is also running at full speed but you have no motivation. Add to that the pain, diarrhea, vomiting, shaking, endlessly sad depression etc etc etc.... It's a real miracle that some people stop using opiates all on their own. I did it because I had no strength left and suicide was the only solution. I can't believe it myself but it's possible

Go ahead, put your life and your mind at risk and do drugs... See that they don't do you. At this time, I would kill myself if I couldn't do heroin... it's the only good, safe, comforting feeling that I know. I mean, I am a Diagnosed Schizophrenic... it's sortof different for me, because I have a severe mental condition that affects my everyday life. Maybe "normal people" don't constantly feel afraid that the world is about to end... but I've been like that since I was a kid. I avoid all interpersonal relationships because, as a drug addict, I am not worthy of any type of relationship... but personally, I feel that drugs are way safer than relationships. I don't annoy or bother anyone, anymore. You can't blame drugs for the bad things that happen to you because of your addiction... you can only blame yourself, or better yet, recognize what part you played in all of it. When I consider all of my experiences related to my addiction, I don't recommend that anybody try drugs. You are better off never knowing the feeling of euphoria. I promise you.

[@tossitin9769]

i am 17 years old. I was addicted to anime, reels, KZbin, nonstop music and other internet related things like shopping and games. I quit all of these at the same time because I was aiming to score high in my exams. After a few days I experienced sudden stress and anxiety and was confused about what was going on with me. I had gotten anhedonia because of sudden drop of dopamine and was very very scared about my future. It's been 1 month and I'm still having a few symptoms. I get a lot of mood swings, I don't enjoy anything as much as I used to before, I get scared of many things, I get suicidal thoughts even though I would never do such a thing. These suicidal thoughts make me overthink and give so much distress that I disconnect from the world and just keep thinking about why all this is happening to me. There have been a few positive changes since the past month. It's very difficult for me to handle this. I'm glad I have such wonderful parents and friends and that is why I get panicked and scared about getting suicidal thoughts. Please tell me what I can do to have a speedy recovery so I can enjoy life again. I really really hope this is temporary.

[@l6e6i6n]

[@budstep7361]

Exercise, good food, water and sleep will allow you to come back towards equilibrium over time. You are also feeling like many adults, so consider that when you see how adults behave. Your brain isn’t done developing until you’re about 30yrs old, so expect many changes to come! Many will be positive but don’t be scared of negative thoughts, they happen to everyone. You may want to take time and reflect on what those thoughts are and what underlying emotions are making you scared or to over think. Sometimes it’s just natural and other times there are unresolved things from childhood.

[@moon-star-galexy]

Please try to get into therapy, it'll help immensely

[@Sunnyflower67]

It's very good that you have already seen some positive things returning. The fact that you're aware of the dopamine connection is going to help you a lot. You already know the big "secret" to addiction and how it's an illness, not a character flaw. THAT alone will get you far in life when you're trying to keep up your self-esteem. Also, you can recover much easier with all the knowledge of how to dopamine seek the healthy way. Everyone needs dopamine, but it's healthier to keep a steady, lower level of it, enough to keep you happy. Then, you should start being able to get rushes of dopamine when something exciting happens. At that point, you should be on your way. I wish you the best. I'm glad you didn't get too far into addiction or get into deadly substances. How are you doing now? A few of us have shown interest, so maybe you can update. 😀

Then I heard a new sound: a living sound, like the richest, most complex, most beautiful piece of music you've ever heard. Growing in volume as a pure white light descended, it obliterated the monotonous mechanical pounding that, seemingly for eons, had been my only company up until then. The light got closer and closer, spinning around and around and generating those filaments of pure white light that I now saw were tinged, here and there, with hints of gold. Then at the very center of the light, something else appeared. There was a wooshing sound, and in a flash I went through the opening and found myself in a completely new world. The strangest, most beautiful world I'd ever seen. Brilliant, vibrant, ecstatic, stunning . . . I was flying, passing over trees and fields, streams and waterfalls, and here and there, people. There were children, too, laughing and playing. The people sang and danced around in circles, and sometimes I'd see a dog, running and jumping among them, as full of joy as the people were. A beautiful, Incredible dream world . . . Except it wasn't a dream. The word real expresses something abstract, and it's frustratingly ineffective at conveying what I'm trying to describe. Imagine being a kid and going to a movie on a summer day. Maybe the movie was good, and you were entertained as you sat through it. But then the show ended, and you filed out of the theater and back into the deep, vibrant, welcoming warmth of the summer afternoon. And as the air and the sunlight hit you, you wondered why on earth you'd wasted this gorgeous day sitting in a dark theater. Multiply that feeling a thousand times, and you still won't be anywhere close to what I felt like where I was.

[@MengzisDisciple]

In philosophy and religion, dopamine/amygdala is connected to the vices (as connected with personal survival). Serotonin/Insula with the virtues (as connected with survival of the species). Reason-Awareness is recognizing that both of these systems need to be kept balanced and in harmony--as dopamine is connected with opioids (the reward for getting what you want, and making you want more--the cause of all addictions), or the stress (cortisol) and anxiety of not getting your desire (pains). The area being the cause of anxiety disorders, addictions, and heart disease. On the other hand, the Insula is connected with DMT (why many Buddhists and "Enlightenment" seekers meditate and use diet to restrict their dopamine levels to "awaken" to the insula). This area also connected to manic-depression. Where many "spiritualists" end up with melancholia and severe depression (not enough serotonin), or if damage the amygdala, with too much DMT (leading to schizophrenia). If read up on studies of DMT and LSD experiments (LSD connecting to insula system), no one has come back with any "secret" info or cures for cancer. DMT is just a hallucinogen that is probably used by the mind to give us a nice send off when we die (coming into play when the amygdala and dopamine levels drop to zero). There is no need to try and reach this state by use of drugs or "seeking after enlightenment"--this is modern science, not the ignorance of the past. The goal is to move past these areas and know enough about your self to be aware of what your body needs to remain mentally and physically healthy. Where moderation is key to everything in life. Too much dopamine or serotonin or not enough dopamine and serotonin both leading to mental dis-ease. The Key--is the Golden Mean.

[@brnm973]

You probably also feel that stressful situations make you want to use again? This is because your mind has learned that the solution to an internal problem (you feeling bad or stressed) has an external solution (drugs or alcohol). So next time you feel stressed and think about using, try to catch yourself thinking that and then make a list, preferably in writing, about what will happen if you give into the urge and use drugs vs what will happen if you do not and if you were to do something you know is good for you. Even if you still decide to use, this will train your brain to change the pattern of behavior to a different one. Keep doing this and you can change any habit, but it works especially well with drugs or alcohol.

So basically, as it is said in the video, every addictive substance makes your body produce dopamine which makes you fill satisfied hence you get addicted to it. But how come some people have told me they didn't enjoy the first time they tried an addictive substance? For example, I cannot stand being around people who smoke, I just hate the smell of it. My teacher told me he didn't like the first time he smoked so he never smoked again. Shouldn't all people enjoy using an addictive substance since it produces dopamine?

[@Plusle843]

From what I GUESS, not everyone enjoys same things. Some people like chicken, others hate it. Some people like pork. Other hate it. Some people like alcohol. Others hate it. I THINK it's the same here. You may like drugs, or you can hate it. Best way to get out of addiction? Never START.

the nicotine in cigarette increases your dopamine which will make you high, or distract you from the painful reality. i think your teacher didnt learn to smoke correctly, we want to take to smoke till lungs get 90% full. just kidding dont try smoking it ruined my life,s 1 year i quit smoking and my llips got pink again.

[@tarikov]

i think it's because the first time you smoke it literally burns your lungs so you can't get much dopamine out of it, as you get used to it you start getting high and liking it much and in the end you feel nothing even when you smoke. but it's about what you've said, i have friends that smoke a pack in a day with my friend group that don't smoke for 3 months afterwards

What's going on in the brain during addiction? According to the magazine of the Harvard Mental Health Center that I mentioned earlier, our brain treats all satisfactions in the same way. Whether it comes from drugs, from money addiction, from excessive thirst, from unhealthy food consumption or from self-indulgence, etc.; It's just that they're all the same in the parts of the brain they're dealing with and the neurotransmitter (primarily dopamine) chemicals they produce. In simple terms; When information about any addictive substance reaches our brain, it causes the release of the neurotransmitter dopamine. Neurotransmitters are chemicals that act as office messengers when a nerve cell wants to transmit an electrical signal to another cell. So when we say that this dopamine is responsible for the functioning of the neurotransmitter, we mean it. In our brain, there are nerve cells that generate electricity: they are called neurons. As soon as the boy Hasan smokes, these neurons in our brain begin to produce chemicals called dopamine. (Just like we spray on our clothes.) They like these dopamine chemicals with an electrical signal. The other neuron has a receptor cell that hits the body (like a ball bounces off a net). It is at this time that the feeling of arousal comes, just like touching the tail of a light switch with our finger and making it turn on. Which brings us back to that - alcohol. These dopaminergic chemicals regulate the temporal lobes of our brains. When repeated | Again, it becomes addictive.How does the brain experience addiction? Until recently, scientists believed that the experience of temporary gratification alone made an addict, "an addiction to the point where they say, 'Repeat to me.'" However, recent studies have shown that the situation is a much more complex science. That is, the chemical dopamine itself is not the only one that brings that temporary satisfaction. In addition, the child's memories about the drug, the use of the drug (for example, the time, place and situation when he smokes secretly) and the situations in which he used the drug, the times he still uses it, and even his friends (a role in learning and memory of drug use) are controlled by the same dopamine chemical. Dr. Jackie Daniels, senior specialist at the Indiana Rehabilitation Center, explains more about this. The Harvard Journal of Psychiatry analyzes that dopamine is the main chemical in the child's brain responsible for providing memories and longing, from liking the drug to falling into addiction. He also explains that dopamine does this by interacting with another neurotransmitter, specifically glutamate. And this glutamate is the most abundant type of protein in our bodies that we all need for basic nutritional satisfaction. Glutamate, for example, works to make us eat meat, "appetite closed, open" etc. In our brain, however, it serves us in an overlapping role as a neurotransmitter. But just like a wild child addicts the good neighbor, every time the hormone dopamine, a drug chemical or signal comes to the brain saying "let's party and dance! let's have fun", it destroys this good and obedient chemical of glutamate in all parts of our body. The combination of these two chemicals causes the child's brain and body to feel a particular temporary satisfaction during the free time (for example, drinking and smoking), which makes him want that drug again and again. He is becoming addicted to this time.666 code to control brain chemicals Basically, when we study the chemicals of dopamine, neurons, glutamate, etc., which are used by users of the 666 code to control people with addiction, they have a carbon atom in them. For example, if we look at the hormone dopamine, it has 8 carbon atoms of 666 atoms and its chemical formula is CaHNO2. Glutamate's chemical form is CH9NO4, and it has 5 carbon atoms lined up for the chemical compound. In a health column published by The Guardian on 07/2019, he shows us how getting a good night's sleep can help the brain recover and repair damaged neurons. What we see here is that the repair is mainly done on the DNA of the neuron. If it has DNA, it must have a carbon code. We have seen again and again that this is the code of 666 (ie carbon 12 with 6 electrons, 6 neutrons and 6 protons). Therefore, the secret hand that rules the world using the 666 code is using this carbon 666 chemical here for addiction. The main chemical that allows us to control our brains is the main chemical, the main actor in all of them, drugs, alcohol, money worship, fleeting desires and activities. These include, for example, hemp and beer chemicals that use carbon primarily. As soon as they enter our body, the dopamine chemical they activate in our brain has a carbon structure. This primary carbon 666 chemical coordination function enslaves man. A research report included in the Conservapedia database entitled "Atheism and Dris Addiction" explains that most Westerners who fall under the slavery of drug addiction end up denying the Creator, God, and accepting the practices of 666 satanic spirits.Anti-drug campaign /War on drugs/ to spread drugs My dear family, I have already shown you how to prevent the use of drugs, cigars, alcohol and others. We have also seen the introduction of Prohibition or the Noble Experiment method in America. Similarly, the anti-drug campaign in the United States began in 1971 under President Richard Nixon. The Business Insider magazine, in its February 19/208 report, detailed the 20 American presidents who were supporters of the secret 666 Illuminati. Among them are George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt, Harry Truman, and now Richard Nixon, who is indebted to this expansion of drugs and alcohol. Business Insider reports that Richard Nixon founded a secret Illuminati group called the Red Brotherhood in 1993. If we look at it from this point of view, we can see that the project started by Nixon under the name of anti-drug campaign was deliberately made for the purpose of promotion to increase the number of drug users. As a proof of this, we can see on page 24 of the commission's publication WAR ON DRUG that an institution called the World Drug Policy Commission has greatly distorted the historical course of the anti-drug campaign. If he says the words we notice in this publication, "the global war on drugs has failed with devastating consequences for individuals and societies around the world". When it is translated, he explains that "... the world anti-drug campaign has led to many losses and failures for the individuals and societies of the world, and the project itself has ended in failure..." Although this project was discontinued, the 666 code user groups achieved the desired results. The idea of ​​the article is that they have increased the number of addicts to a surprising extent. Let me show you some good evidence for this. For example: in 998, there were 12.9 million cocaine users in the world; But in 2008, it increased to 7 million, which is 27%, according to the United Nations report. By fafa - scientific .

It's a coping mechanism to deal with negative outlook on life or reaction to circumstances. Not a labeled disease. Plenty of studies on Vietnam vets coming home who abused drugs in war to go through it. When they returned to loving families addictions were gone. Same for meth users in ww2. Although not all had warm homes waiting for them. Also cocaine studies on rats... Addictions can fall off naturaly if you just start meditate or chill and care for how you feelin the moment. If you in decision to take the drug consider how crash or after effect would feel. All you need to fill the void or gap with self care and self love and not drugs.

Just because it changes the structure of the brain does not mean it is something we cannot control. Fallacious argument. In addition, we see the effects of addiction, not as a 'brain disease' itself but rather an external source that affects the brain. Such a skewed way to talk about this.

So, uh.....My cat won't eat food that it smells and decides the food is dangerous. So, following that logic.... If a human smokes crack, and the brain finds it to be safe to ingest....Well, why would that happen? Humans are more highly evolved than animals, right? So....there must be so me kind of benefit. That's my logic, and I am happy to hear counter arguments. Crack cocaine, and cocaine, I never found to be rewarding enough to keep doing. I prefer crystal meth by FAR, as well as nicotine. Don't really enjoy alcohol or marijuana that much, but I LOVE the smell and taste of certain types of coffee. All that being said, it seems to me that most of the research I have done has returned bullshit results when it comes to addiction. Be well.

"The PROBLEM is that addictive substances hijack our natural reward system..." Wrong again. "The problem is that governments and societies hijack our natural reward system." There, now we are getting somewhere.

[@brnm973]

I look at it this way, we have a complex system within our body that has evolved to regulate behavior towards a specific goal and it seems that this is regulated by specific feelings. The feeling that we call happiness is closely related to the release of dopamine and when we feel this feeling, the behavior that led to it is seen by the brain as good for our survival because that is the main goal of our entire existance, on a physiological level. The brain, on this level, does not make a difference between what we deem as socialy acceptable behavior and what we deem as bad, it has evolved to push us towards wanting to repeat things that make us feel good. The stronger this feeling is the more likely we will want to repeat the activity that led to it. Now, depending on when you introduce drugs into your life, you will be less or more likely to resist it, as the part of your brain that is responsible for decision making or even showing restraint (prefrontal cortex) is not fully developed until you are around 25. To put it simply, that literally means that the brain has evolved to regulate our actions to repeat behaviors that make us feel good and as drugs make us feel really good, we are more likely to take them becuse we have literally evolved conditions to make it so. So drugs work directly on the reward system, I do not see a way in which this is not true?
