It’s just amazing to hear the science behind it. I had several a-ha moments and it explains why the first bit is so frikkin hard, motivates you to stick with it. It also explains my lapses (been trying to get sober for a very long time now) and I think if I had known this i wouldn’t have gone back to drinking because I would have understood what was happening! xxxx

I got a lot out of that. I can clearly see the pattern I have been in since early 2014 when I first started trying to quit. I hope to God it doesn’t take me 8 years to achieve a 12 month stint. My longest was 5 months. I know now that my brain craves the dopamine high and that has always been my reason for returning to the bottle. I have low moods during sobriety and now I understand why. Maybe understanding that will help me deal with it better. Also the socialization aspect hit home. I should have known that as anxiety and lack of social interaction go hand in hand too.

Yes it’s really interesting when you hear the science behind it. I’m more inclined to ride it out now that I know the reason behind the intense lows. xxx
