If this sounds like you, then think about this for a second,

Well, truth is..
You no longer drive your vehicle.
Your body is not your own. You exist within it, you think you control yourself.. but this is a lie.
You are an addict, you have all these habits that are hard to break because your brain is hijacked.
Brother, you have an illness.

This is the disease model in medicine :
You have an organ - The organ shows some defects - These defects cause symptoms
Ex, you have pancreas - your pancreas do not produce enough insulin - blood sugar elevates. We call this as diabetes.
Now, pay attention..

An addiction is a disease of the brain.
There are various reasons for it, various influencing factors, varying levels of severity..
But it is unquestionably, undeniably a disease.
Treatable, reversible, fixable - but a disease.
Let me tell you exactly why and how..
There are various reasons for it, various influencing factors, varying levels of severity..
But it is unquestionably, undeniably a disease.
Treatable, reversible, fixable - but a disease.
Let me tell you exactly why and how..
First, you need to understand this FACT :
There is no heroin addiction, cocaine addiction, porn addiction, alcohol addiction etc.. There is only addiction.
All addictions are dopamine addictions.
The means of delivery are through various drugs.
Let me give you an example..

Let me give you an example..
If you were lying in a hospital bed with a ventilator on..
and everyday 3 guys, Alex, Travis and Jake came in and loosened your breathing tube a bit.. what would happen>
Eventually It would slip out and you would suffocate to death.
Now what was your cause of death?

Eventually It would slip out and you would suffocate to death.
Now what was your cause of death?
It was death by suffocation. The guys were just a means for it to happen.
Shit example, but it gets my point across.
You have the disease of addiction - What you desperately crave is dopamine - your methods of delivery vary.
Now why do we call this a disease?
Ill tell you..

Your body has a set temperature - 98.3°F. You get a bacterial infection. How does the body respond?
Its raises your temp to kill of the bacteria and then comes back to normal (you experience this as a fever)
Similarly, your brain has a baseline level of dopamine..

Similarly, your brain has a baseline level of dopamine..
It is crucial for living.

It is essentially the main reason you do anything worthwile. A main reason why you 've survived so far..
Now, everytime you indulge in something (ANY SUBSTANCE)..
It spikes the level of dopamine in your brain by an UNBELIEVABLY large amount (some substances close to 1000%)
What happens when you do this repeatedly?
Your body has to compensate. It has too much dopamine now.
HOW?
What happens when you do this repeatedly?
Your body has to compensate. It has too much dopamine now.
HOW?
It does this by reducing the amount of D2 dopamine receptors present
This in turn permanently raises your baseline dopamine requirement level. (imagine living in 101 deg fever state permanently)..
What now?

Let's begin then..
The only way to break any habit or addiction,
1) To abstain from ANY extreme dopamine spike long enough for your baseline to reset
2) To strengthen your frontal cortex and learn coping skills

Now,
How long does it take & how to do this?..
With only abstinence, close to a year or more.. BUT,
If you design a fully functioning system where you combine abstinence with frontal cortex restoration practices - 90 to 100 days.
Abstinence to rewire,
Restoration to strengthen & avoid relapse.
