RECOVER from ADDICTION by DOING THIS!!!!
Today’s guest is one of the world’s leading experts on the neuroscience of addiction and recovery. Anna Lembke MD is Chief of the Stanford Medicine Dual Diagnosis clinic and Professor and Medical Director of Addiction Medicine at Stanford University School of Medicine. Dr. Lembke has testified before Congress and consulted with governors and senators from Kentucky to Missouri to Nevada. You may also recognize her from her appearance on the hit Netflix movie “The Social Dilemma.” Aside from this, Anna has also written two books: “Drug Dealer MD” and her latest book, The New York Times bestseller “Dopamine Nation.”
Our conversation covers an array of important topics to help highlight the REAL connection between science, addiction, and recovery. Anna explains the neuroscience of addiction and how it affects the brain and decision-making. We get into how to prevent addiction, what to do if you are addicted and the different recovery options. Our convo gets into the subject of relapse including why so many fall back into their addictive behaviors even after sustained abstinence. We chat about how to thrive in early recovery and how to prevent relapse. We also cover how technological advances have impacted the current epidemic and discuss hidden addictions that you may be unaware of. Anna shares how she helps her patients with anxiety and depression and why using drugs to treat such things can actually backfire. Our discussion gets into current hot topics like the opioid epidemic, cannabis use, and advice for parents when they have a loved one who’s struggling.

She's also spot on about obsessing over your trauma, your brain is constantly in addiction mode and will latch on to anything and everything that stimulates it including negativity. When you obsess over trauma, it becomes a mood , and over time that mood becomes a temperament.
WoW. I couldn’t agree more, my brother. The Universe delivered this video ‘and’ your comment to me at the Perfect time and Moment. I was just Contemplating your thoughts and message, not too long ago, as I’m trying to make some really needed changes in my life. Opioid use got hold of me, unfortunately, and became a terrible situation in my life (Guilt/My Mind was the Biggest Component, as I simply
‘Knew’ what I was doing, creating, and that it couldn’t ‘work’ in my life- no matter how much control you think you have…). The Depression is so awful, as my Brain is repairing itself from years of taking them. It’s Incredibly difficult and i sometimes fall off for a day or three. Thankfully jumping right back on the Healing Boat, as My Desire to Feel Good is DOMINATE. At any rate… w/respect to your thoughts and comments, You Inspired Me, to Share My thoughts and feelings as well. The following Applies to Both, Negative OR Positive (Chronic) Thinking…
1) Thoughts, which if continued in the ‘same’ ways, becomes 2) Feelings, which if continued in the ‘same’ ways, becomes
3) Beliefs, which if continued in the ‘same ways’ AND for a period of time, becomes 4) Reality (Manifested), which if continued in the ‘same ways’ (same thoughts, feelings, beliefs, patterns of thinking, same routines…), becomes our:
5) Personal~Reality. Then, Ultimately and Inevitably, this Recipe (Intentional or ‘Not’…) has Shaped and Created, what is NOW (Known As, and) Become-
6) Our ‘Personality’.
Where Focus Goes, Energy Flows, and Our “Reality”… Will Reflect it, Flawlessly… 💫
Beautifly said!!
I am struggling, every 5-6 days I relapse. I know I’m strong enough to over come cocaine. It’s such a horrible experience. The idea of a clean future excites me. I will try hard as I can. Time will heal .. I’m going to focus on, excersise, sauna use, reading, and spending more time with family and friends..
You got this
Pray
Bro I overcame Xanax addiction and cocaine at the same time… it’s possible is all I’m gonna say 😂😂
If you are bored, you are only one step from recognizing Peace or quietness from the stillness within.
I am bored and so takin little steps to reconnect to me and my passions. Th3n i sink and sttuggle to keep forward positive movem3ny i know what i 2ant i cant seem to do it. Destroys me x
@@leelucas8968 i think we all get bored, thats why we jump on RUclips. But the “ego” or thinking gets boring. Your soul will always be at peace.
It means go back to the child self, the real you. Eat brown rice and beans and play games or watch movies, or do a hobby.
I am in recovery from alcohol, narcotics, benzos, alcohol, cigarettes, and entering my 39th year of total abstinence. I find Dr. Lembke's interview right on the money. She covered all the basis and left no stone unturned. She is definitely a healer. My personality has also changed from a convicted drug dealer to an enlightened " drug healer". I would love to meet her someday.
Jesus filled the void within me that nothing and no one could fill.
I thank God for the Truth of God!
I was a professional high functioning addict with a high lifestyle. I moved to the outback before pandemic. Simplicity and nature, desert and sea saved my life. I live a healthy simple lifestyle like our ancestors. I am fulfilled, happy and grateful.
Take Away...man I don't know where to start. The whole video was incredible. Great questions and thank you for your transparency. I'm about to start my journey to recovery from what I would say is stimulation addiction. In my addiction I just pick a flavor for the day (alcohol, weed, sex, shopping, working) really anything that will give me that high or that sweet spot. Of course alcohol does it the best and sometimes all of these in a day. I'm high functioning and on the outside I manage my life, family and finances well. But inside I'm about to jump off a cliff. If something doesn't change soon there might be a point of no return. I know I would be happier without this struggle I've just got to start my journey to get there. What I learned from your video is life is gonna suck for a few weeks or a month or so but that's okay. As we said in the military "Embrace the suck" lol. I can do hard things! Its okay to be bored. We weren't created to be stimulated all the time. There's peace in that quiet place. In short I guess that understanding that pain is part of life. Its gonna be ok! Good things come to those who wait!!
Thanks for this video, trying to understand my daughter s alchohol addiction. So this was very helpful, thanks again
It’s funny your the one with the least subscribers but you were the most real and asked the best questions.been struggling and watched a few of her podcasts with bigger names.
Thank you so much for the kind words on this…what was one of your biggest takeaways from our convo?
I found that too Andy ✅
So true
Agreed - I really enjoyed the clarification about pursuing pain in the early stages of recovery.
I agree as well. 💯
I come and go with alcohol ,and solphadine an opiate over the counter med here in Ireland , I stayed off the booze for a week and was fine but let myself get annoyed with some negative comments from a family member and reached for the bottle of wine out of anger and BOREDOM (my big return )to substance ...that said I surfed for the first time in years (splashed) more like it ..but now from tomorrow I start cold water swimming again im not looking forward to it but realise the pain pleasure reward Ann talks about , I did it for a year and it was great.. im also increasing my juice and veg intake as I know the nutrients intake helps..... its not going to be easy but I feel optimistic it will help me along the way, thanks again this is a BRILLIANT interview.
Gratitude attitude brings far better long lasting happiness naturally … just start with the smallest things like gratitude for a sunny day or the presence of trees and flowers, the kind action of a stranger or genuine greeting smile. The glass is half full attitude defeats all the negative emotions. Service of kindness to someone else with no need for a reward is what brings long lasting happiness…
Learned a lot from this lady.
Its when serotonin peaks , any natural high, then it dips therefor wanting the thing you was addicted to.
Love how she says don't search for happiness" i felt that. Let it come to you naturally because then your brain will surprise you with natural dopamine hits and that's the key to rewiring ❤❤
at least now we are finally talking about addiction in a positive way. we all suffer and are looking for answers.
9:00 he says Happiness and contrasts it with pain
I think he is equating pleasure with happiness
Happiness is not pleasure
Pleasure is not happiness.
you can be happy and in pain at the same time
Let life flow naturally! That's the beauty of it.
Been clean for longer than 1,5 years. But I still face myself having problems to maintain a job and motivate myself to work 😕 I have a problem with working in teams and stressful situations somehow
Anna you are amazing and have helped us to understand
addiction. You speak in a calm reassuring empathetic way to make us feel more normal. I love when you say 'life is hard'.
I think we can accept ourselves and love ourselves. I love you for the great work you've done but especially for your soothing presentation. You have helped many that are suffering!❤
Best video on addiction and recovery on internet. All the right questions asked.
She's changed my mind of true balance of behavior. Thank you for your broadcast.
Amazing interview,....I think I'm addicted to anna lembke interviews, need a thirty day detox...
Much as I love to hear you speak, I can't help but question your views of reality. Boredom is possibly a lack of appreciation and contentment, life is boring when you don't have a deep connection to self and or what you bring. Life can be deeply happy, and this is spiritual and results from healing trauma held within the body and allowing the spirit to shine from within. When trauma and addiction are present the spirit cannot reside within the body, which is incredibly uncomfortable. When we change and release the trauma the need for addiction abates, until it can no longer co exist. There are many alternative techniques which allow for deep processing of old emotions and rewire the neurobiology of the brain. The spirit is first and foremost who we are, not the other way around. Addiction is a lack of connection to self. You cannot connect to trauma you need a person to connect to their heart and once connected to themself, they connect to others and community is built, woth no place for addiction.
Ur missing the point
Not everyone has major trauma that led them to addiction. My life was good but drugs came into my circle of friends and I tried and got addicted after a few times. For me and many others the addiction itself was the only trauma. There’s no oh if I just remember that time I got spanked as a child and let it go I’ll be all good and no longer addicted. Can’t speak on behavioral addictions but Drug addiction at least doesn’t work that way.
I’m sure it can help for those addicts who had a major trauma but the drug addiction itself it’s own physical chemical imbalance that needs to be addressed first and foremost and than later in recovery what you mention can help for sustaining their recovery in the long term. Prob why that step that could address that comes in later in 12 step programs.
Thanks for the informative information. I am just coming off my methadone tapering and have really struggled with joy and motivation to do daily tasks. I honestly didn't even think about my dopamine levels. Learning how to live again. This podcast helps because understanding how I feel will help me stay sober and not fall into old patterns.
That feeling is going to pass as your brain heals. It will get better with time. Well done … hang in there. ❤ It’s going to be great.
@@lisacole690so true ❤❤
I quit alcohol and cigarettes a little over a month ago whoah it's brutal. I hope you are feeling better.
The best cure is not letting your mind love fears by stopping by thoughts that empowers bad drinking and eating, what ever you do or don't if its bad and defeats what spirit created, science can't master spirit or death that happens by fear of death that's dusk to spirit.
What???
Really good questions. Interesting how it leads to traditional values that we were taught as kids (my generation, anyways): Do the hard things and go the distance. But society evolved to give us everything, with less effort. Social media, movies, advertising- all show us how being wealthy promises that we can have every exciting and sumptuous thing and experience, without effort; and isn’t that what addiction is? The fun without the effort.
I have seen patients that say in recovery that they feel "empty" not a complaint I have heard in others
Highest accolades to Dr. Lembke 🤲🏼
Best Moments on the Doug Bopst & Anna Lembke on Adversity Advantage Podcast
DB = Doug Bopst. AL or L = Anna Lembke
1.1 DB: how can we navigate this happiness trap so we can manage our dopamine levels in a healthy way?
AL: Grand Canyon becomes less interesting as drugs become more.
Life is boring. [subjectively]
life is not easy.
Ironic Paradox; to live a good life; stop looking for happiness
1.2 AL: I tell people to do a counter-intuitive activity: instead of finding a way to comfort yourself, do something hard [ she sounds like Goggins!]
Do something mentally and physically hard.
Referring back to the pleasure-pain balance, this is why we do this.
When we press on the pain balance, gremlins hop on pleasure side.
We get an opponent-process reaction that will move our needle/baseline toward a pleasure homeostasis.
By hormesis, introducing tiny toxicity, we activate body’s regulating mechanism [ endocannabinoid endo dopamine endo serotonergic systems] to upregulate.
Hence, we are making our own dopamine.
Do a physically hard activity; exercise is key.
Hence do tasks where dopamine is not primary, but secondary, due to effortful endurance.
AL: A fascinating thing: we all use rewards to frame time
We use rewards to give our days shape.
But if u take away rewards, instead of having an activity to look forward to, all you are left with is this moment.
This could be all you have. This moment. [Profound]
1.3 AL: A brilliant thing to do: actions that are not congruent with feelings. [Act now, feel the feeling u seek as u do the activity]
Patient said to L: I do not feel like exercising.
L says: I do not care. If we had your feelings as a guide to what to do, then we are in trouble.
You cannot wait until u feel like exercising, u exercise now [hence you will feel positive later]
1.4 AL: let us look at environment for our brains:
the mismatch between how brains evolved to adapt to a world of scarcity and how unsuitably adapted we are to a world of overabundance.
1.5 L: I prescribe my patients to tell the truth.
1.6 L: engage in activities that do not release dope now, but will release it later.
These are activities through effortful engagement over long time periods leading to delayed rewards [ Goggins].
Exercise, creative endeavours, learning, profound conversations.
These are things that in the moment, may not feel good, but after we have done them, there is dope release.
Cumulative effect is this resets our baseline to the side of pleasure, meanwhile avoiding highly potent stimuli.
[ C-> James Clear Habit: a good habit does not feel good now, but will make you feel good later = eating broccoli]
1.7 L: Reject easy pleasures in favour of a life that is more difficult!
Requires steady infusion of work without expectation of immediate reward.
But with steady investments, we build a better earth.
My closing thought: Maybe we should reject convenience. Hence we can live a meaningful life filled with all the neurotransmitters we want!
Thanks a lot to Doug and Anna!
Was about to rewatch to take notes (first time I listened to this on car). But your notes are very simillar to what I found interesting. Thanks!
@@tuningsnow You are very welcome!
This is an amazing interview. You allowed Dr Lemke to open up with even more insights from her expertise and disease
Great Video I have 8 years and 3 months sober and clean and it's because of My daily Connection to my higher power meditation journaling and having a morning and daily routine that includes spirituality and AA meetings. Also going to the gym and fitness is key for me😊
This was such a good interview, Doug! I really liked the questions you asked and the things I learned from her responses.
We're looking for wholeness as a human.
Deep down emptiness.
Great podcast!
For me, I found that I could only be content with life being sober
Only Jesus can make us whole. We wander our whole lives looking for him in all the wrong places.
@@chelseawilliams2299
God bless you, Sister!
This is the truth!
You are spot on! That "deep down emptiness" that you speak of is separation from our creator God.
We are seeking to fill a void that only he can fill. The pain and shame of our sin coupled with the disconnect from God is a burden that we are not able to bear. Here is some wonderful
news WE DONT HAVE TO BEAR THE BURDEN! :) The word of God says come unto me all ye that labour and are heavy laden and I will give you rest
Jesus died in our place to save our souls from hell
he paid the debt you owe for your sins on the cross! and he rose from the grave to give you eternal life which begins the moment that you believe this truth.
The word of God says that if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead thou shalt be saved.
Once you are born again by grace through faith in Jesus you can have a relationship with him and that relationship as long as it is lined up with the word of God will bring you peace that passes understanding
And he will fill that void that nothing else could fill
Thank you so very much for this episode. This resonated for me! Keep doing what you're doing 👌
Standing ovation for an excellent, honest, and insightful interview!
Fascinating. Thanks man
Thank you for sharing. :)
Thank you very much
Great questions homeboy. 😮
Excellent episode
Thank you so much for this conversation Doug. Very real and excellent questions left me wishing it was an hour longer. Congratulations on your sobriety
Very important topic
This was EXCELLENT.
Thank you so much for this excellent discussion. Very insightful.
Thank you, your team, and Dr. Lembke for this conversation.
Maine USA
this is fascinating
Brilliant
bravo Anna Great talk Grateful for your input every being benefit 💥
Great interview, now I understand my shopping habits
WOW what a great interview
Thank you for this powerful interview - your story sounds so interesting, too.
Excellent and very helpful 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Anna is an amazing human, fantastic choice of guest. Thanks for all you do 👍🏻
I'm only 10 minutes in, this is so clear! 😊
That's how l feel
I think it's so funny how people seem to think that. It's sometimes a moral dilemma that people are addict and all this stuff because people like to feel good. And drugs make you feel good doesn't seem very complicated to me .... who likes to feel bad. I don't know anybody everyone I know likes to feel good so if you find something that makes you feel good obviously you're going to continue to use it. The reason that you're using, however, every attic design ever question has always been the same. They are so sad. They have lost something they love or someone they love, they are grieving. It is pain. It is grief. It is trauma that they are dealing with it, it is the root of their addiction. While it sounds great to sit around and deal with your trauma and all that it is not reality. This is where plant medicine and the science behind maps comes in. If you can take a plant from the Earth that God has provided though, and it can make you have a little visual hallucination that deal with your emotional trauma, which is absolutely the most important. And you are able to release that pain. You have let go of the root cause of your addiction. And Walla, things begin to happen.
Finally great interview which is also practical and focuses on solutions. I am working with my nephew tomorrow morning. I will share this with him. Thanks.
Thank you for asking the questions I wanted asked. Brilliant - really enjoyed this 🙏
Glad you got a lot out of the convo! What was the biggest thing you learned ?
@@dougbopst1 That pain & pleasure are located in the same part of the brain. There has to be homeostasis between the two like a see-saw & that life is not meant to be euphoric on a daily basis. Hope that makes sense 😊
@@heatherstephens9295 that made perfect sense!
Best discussion I have heard on the subject. Thank you.
glad you enjoyed it! what was your biggest takeaway? don't forget to subscribe so that you can check out some of the other incredible convos!
I have a lot of respect for Dr. Lembke and her work, this is probably the third interview that I've watched of hers and I will definitely be ordering a copy of her book. I do, however, believe that dealing w the underlying trauma is actually paramount to staying off of an addiction after recovery and that not doing so is at the core of why at least some people relapse. This is, of course, just a hypothesis on my end but I strongly suspect that it's true.
definitely recommend her book. its a fantastic read
@@AceofBase2024 I'm sure it is and I'm waiting on my copy now, her work is fascinating. I literally sat there and took notes when she was on the Huberman podcast lol.
She doesn't address the psychological component, which is very important. For her everything is dopamine
I agree with you about the trauma but it is much easier to get at it from sobriety.
The sooner the disease of addiction is actually acknowledged by everyone as a "thing" the sooner steps can be made to address it , the world today is creating alot more addicts because there are so many more things to get addicted to , the fundamentals of physical addiction is now used in everything, take pac man ridiculously addictive music and that has led all the way to the current climate .
This is great guys/gals :) Thankyou from a mum who needs to be informed.. P.S. I listen to Eckhardt Tolle .. being more present is important.. switching off the ‘stories/narrative’ we all (not just those with addiction), suffer from. Stopping the narratives, especially moving away from negative worrying thoughts, by observing our thoughts & not following them and obsessing with them and believing them.. try to not buy into them .. let them go & observe our breathing, observe our surroundings etc etc Thankyou so much for this wonderful talk 🥰👍👍
I love him
Eckhart is awesome!
It's tough. It's really tough, bit the more you stay away from negative people , the better you'll feel around your peers. I wasn't ready for the÷ jealousy. People who used to use you, will be disappointed ÷.
outstanding talk, very insightful and real! I currently recover and challenging oneself to do hard things definetly works for me!
Can u also pls upload a written version or pdf something... Thank u
Smoking my last two cigarettes trying for second time I am preparing myself like why I have decided to quit and quit smoking weed or hashish it is just time I take care of Natalie at 57 because I want to age well .I have to embrace stopping it is very challenging iam Alone my adult child gave me an ultimatum to change and I love her yes I had a rough life anxiety depression I also turned to sel mutilation body focus illnesses such as tricotillomania i wasn’t like this before I guess it is years of not letting go of toxic people and toxicity so good luck to us all we make the first step by deciding it
A patient of mine came up with an interesting definition of addiction: involvement in substance or activity that ruins daily life. what do you think?
I would like you to ask your guest about a movie that was put out a couple of years ago about a woman doctor in the 1970s who helped Eric Clapton, and Keith Richards ,and even Jimmy page, beat their addiction to heroin using an ultrasonic sound waves .and this technology is proclaimed to have no side effects and can remove the cravings within two weeks but Johnson & Johnson bought the patent for the device and will not release it .the movie is fascinating and you might want to research this .I know people that say it is legit and these Rockstars for swore never to speak of it .and we have at least one of them Who has confirmed that it did work .so you may want to research this.
I’m sorry but it’s almost always trauma. I tried the rooms for 12 years and for me it almost killed me. The shame of relapse etc. When I went to therapy and did the work the using, smoking phone etc fell away on its own
Exactly, she doesn't even focus on the psychological side of addiction. It's all about neuro-stuff and dopamine...
We don't know our Creator as Father or His Son as Savior and we don't follow the instructions that are inside the Bible. We are void of the God type love we were created for giving and receiving. We're empty and after 45 years of every kind of destructive addiction you can think of I realize that is The Truth! Without The Messiah there is no life. I don't have Him. I'm alone and I know why.
Why don't you have Him? It's as simple as believing in His finished work on the cross...His shed blood for the forgiveness of your sins. Just believe. Today is the day of your salvation.
This is a good analogy, but it doesn't fully explain addiction at a physical neurological level, which has more to it. Eg. It's all about dopamine neural synapse receptors. Eg. Addictive substances that produce more dopamine, create more and more dopamine receptors, on the other side of the neural pathways between neurons. Eventually, over long-term addiction, there becomes many more dopamine receptors, in order to receive the abundance of dopamine. Once this happens, the brain craves that same amount of dopamine production, in order to accommodate the new neural receptors. And if the brain doesn't get that fix of dopamine that it has adjusted to receive, then that's where you get side effects such as depression and psychosis etc. For quite a long time, until the brain gets it's next fix. Otherwise, going cold turkey, will cause all these negative side effects, such as depression and cold sweats etc. The brain has to readjust to reducing stimulation over time. Eg. The dopamine receptors are like hungry little mouths, there to sponge up the excess dopamine neurotransmitter endorphin. Just like fat cells multiply to compensate for extra fat consumption and digestion. Eg. The body is trying to adapt to the new lifestyle diet.
Tittalted to death"... a profound statement
Do you think breastfed babies , are resistant to addiction when they are exposed to stress or pain 🤔
Is there studies about that .
Once you
The debates in the recovery community are annoying, meanwhile people are out here dying and need help. It's really all these factors, but let's support each other's growth not get stuck into negativity.
aren't opioids rampant in palliative care. one is on the way out?
inability to learn and plan for the future, inability to remember,frozen in time in an parallel universe is common but what, again is the connection with shutting down endogenous DOPA release (your example was Meth) and this is for which drugs?j

HELP
I know someone on subox…. Is this the same as being in addiction?
Of course, it is. It's a better thing to use, then say morphine or fent because it doesn't give you a high per se. But it is an opiate period and using that. For years To get clean is a joke. Because how are you gonna get off that now? I spent 7 years on methadone and I spent 25 years in addiction. I got off of a 140 mg under 3 weeks using psilocybin And because of that I did not endure one physical withdrawal detox symptom at all. No runny knows no chills, no sweats. Nobody aches nothing and I did that. The beginning when I decided I was going to quit the next day after. I did my first dose and take the shrooms. I went down 20 mg held that for a few days. Then went down 20 more until I was at 0. I am now successfully off of 7 years of methadone a 140 mg, and I did it in 3 weeks time with the science of psychedelics in addiction.
Most people do not understand that methadone is an opiate agonist. Buprenephine is an opiate agonist, and suboxin is an opiate agonist, with an opiate antagonist, naloxene in in it.
popular culture!
Link me up with this woman please 😅
👍🙏
Great interview, may I know what are gremlins?
gremlins are a fictions character like little monsters that were in a movie some years ago , there like little annoying characters. that drive us mad , hope this answers your question.

No wonder Marilyn Monroe said sex was boring and she got addicted to drugs....
Can't hear you.
Gotta stop you right there Lembke (on 56mins). Its not just anybody that can develope scitzofrenia, you gotta be predispositioned for it.
Its hard to hear her
a great kid, goes to doc, addicts to percocet for broken arm. Dies from Heroin in the streets. Seems inconsistent with current ideas. Inconsistencies should lead us into finding the answer through Socratic method using his formal logic methods.
Okay so why in the HELL WERE THEY DOING MY SELF HARM WHEN I FINALLY GOT AWAY FROM MY FAMILY DAMNIT! THE EARLY "TREATMENT" ENDED UP PUNISHING WHAT MY BRAIN KNEW IT NEEDED TO DO TO HEAL! APPLY PRESSURE THE THE PAIN CENTERS?! you have got to be freaking kidding me.
What are you talking about?
Economic inequality -- there's a huge difference between the top 1% and the bottom 99% so why does she say the opposite?
Is Anna married or with another?

Bro you're not alone
He blaring load her volume is low and she trails off .
It might be your settings. I can hear her just fine.
‘Life is boring’, remind them their forefathers stole and murdered for the stolen lands .. wake up it’s Karma
that's exactly wrong
what you said :"in life we're not always happy and in life there's pain..." that is exactly the mistake and exactly what people my except to take with them but when pain appears in there life maybe not on the first wave of pain they will use but a few waves after they will use. and that is because life shouldn't have pain in them at all, and the fact that it's so common is an epidemic of all wrong, of all being wrong, full on the wrong direction and wrong doing because of the wrong starting point
The reason people use is to numb their emotional trauma psychedelics, open the brain and the neural pathways to rewire. Not only your addiction receptors, but your emotional trauma is dealt with and lifted your brain is reconfigured.... Most people have no idea all the generational trauma that they're carrying around with them until they do something like ibogaine or peyote or something, and it opens them to all of that trauma. Let's them revisit that deal with it and let it go. And that's how they're able to release that and once that's released, which is the main reason their using anyway they are able to tackle that and move on.
You are wrong
