Addiction studies in mice find that when they have rich social interaction, plenty of things to do, the rates at which they’ll become addicted to the drug being tested, are much lower. I’m a pharmacist, and have struggled with addiction throughout life. I am open about it, because it’s the right thing to do, it helps connect with patients or others you talk to that you may not even know are struggling. Too many keep it to themselves. We shouldn’t. I love sharing what worked for me. It’s different for everyone, in terms of what works. For many of us, we need a new addiction. For me, this is high level climbing/mtn pursuits, endurance sports and calisthenics. The highs from being this fit and completing the solo trips I do, can’t compare to a drug high. There’s some indication that intense aerobic activity may help the brain heal as well and sort of reset some of the receptor down regulation/desensitization issue common among severe addicts. That and potentially sauna use.

My man just dropped the most eloquent conclusion to the entire self help industry.

Keep up the great work Dylan!
