Drug, Alcohol and Sugar dependencies.
    #5006881 - 12/02/05 02:21 PM (18 years, 1 month ago)

When we use alcohol, drugs and sugars we develop tolerance and need larger doses to feel better. So if we stop for a while then return to them we get a bigger hit of comfort.

If we are dilligent about staying away from drugs, alcohol and sugary foods our cravings lessen but a sense of isolation may emerge; we feel disconnected and irritable.

Drugs, alcohol and sugar react with opioid receptors in the brain and we feel comforted like we belong, we feel connected, loved and valued. The beta-endorphin response to drugs, alcohol and 'comfort foods' makes us feel safe.

The urge to indulge in alcohol, drugs and comfort foods indicates our beta-endorphins need cranking up; Excercise, music, meditation, dance, laughter, sex, inspiration talks & discussion (like here at the Shroomery) & yoga all raise beta-endorphin. Raise beta-endorphin and you will feel connected and cared for. Simple chemistry.

Bulemic behaviour (throwing-up, laxatives) will also raise beta-endorphins, as will conflict. Troublemakers may unconsciously stir up trouble as a means to raise there beta-endorphins.

But that life in all it's glory
Counts mycelium to be on it's side.
