Serious comment: I wonder how many of these people are in recovery (I’m guessing not many)
“When people enter recovery, they are in a dopamine trough: their brains are not producing it on their own & they are no longer receiving the signal previously provided by the drugs...” https://www.rivermendhealth.com/resources/dopamine-diet-restores-health/
“Many people w/addictions will relapse during detox because of the need for dopamine.
Cleansing the body with a minimum of discomfort by addressing those cravings gets people through this very challenging phase and leads to higher success rates.”

[My view, not from the article:]
You will not be able to stay sober/clean if you don’t find other ways to restore your dopamine levels like you need to.

Whether it’s the good vibes you get from listening to music, spending time with people you love, cuddling your cat, taking a warm bath... you have to get that dopamine somewhere or you will relapse.
I didn’t realize this before I got sober and it has made all the difference in staying sober for 4 years. #recoveryposse
