Also, when I read this post and saw your request for Crystal G at the bottom I couldn't help but giggle  "Please leave all emotions out of your response to this logical hypothetical scenario." |

Well done sir http://www.shroomery.org/forums/  Well Said: deCypher said: The problem is that addiction rewires the brain at a very fundamental level: the emotional, gut-level instinctual base of the brain. The decision to go out and score therefore becomes more of an automatic reflex than a fully conscious choice; much like a starving man reaching out for a hot steaming plate of food placed in front of him, the addict (by definition) has no control over his or her actions. Combine that with my belief that happiness/pleasure is the underlying motivator for almost all humans and my hunch that there really is no such thing as free will in the first place (see the Libet experiment for some neuroscientific evidence supporting this conclusion), and I'm rather pessimistic about my ability to get off dope permanently. Yet--there are many addicts who do just wake up one day and stop using, never to return to their old habits. So WHAT is it that changes in their thought processes to enable them to break their addiction, a state which by definition meant that they WEREN'T in control of their own actions? How does one jump from no control to absolute control like the flick of a switch? If I knew I'd be clean right now, so don't look to me for final answers. Yet some commonalities do appear from my readings: a spiritual experience does the job for many (psychedelics can prove beneficial here, in particular Ibogaine), and hitting rock bottom for others (which can be jail for some or even just the first taste of dope-sickness for others). Finding meaning appears to be crucial--you have to find something that you are passionate about and that will give you fulfillment and purpose. Last Edited 07/28/13 01:31 AM |
