That's amazing 😢😍. So happy for you now. I'm an addict from the UK. I was so low I took hard drugs for 15 years. I turn 2.5 years abstinent on the 21st of January ❤️🙏.
Agreed . When you give up on fighting addiction then you give up on life and caring about family. I have friends who have gone years without relapse and it has been due to therapy and a strong relationship with God
I have one question, towards the end of the video you said it stops making dopamine, is that something that’s gon last long term or does it goes back to normal after you stop using nicotine
I just want to get this off my chest. My dad is a homeless drug addict. He smokes crystal meth and fantanyl. He sleeps on my moms patio even though she has a new boyfriend. We all feel bad for my dad but there is nothing we can do for him, he made his choice, its past the point of no return. But its sooo painful. It hurts my heart and makes me cry. It hurts so bad.
You can take him to a rehabilitation centre incase you have them in your country. He is suffering from substance use disorder. In fact you can take him to a mental health unit because it's what we do here in my country Uganda 🇺🇬
Holy shit this video was a lifesaver when it came to my assessment on the chemical effects of addiction. Keep up the amazing, well thought out concise videos.
HEY Oiii you will defeat this!!!! When we have a relapse it seems impossible to change but it doesn't really change our fight, the brain often creates things that seem very real but they are not and WE WILL WIN It seems impossible and we will never win but we will and I just KNOW that you are such an INCREDIBLE AND GOOD AND KIND person this world needs people like you, it seems that this fight is endless and frustrating but you WILL WIN, dragging yourself on the ground if you have to but you will win and that's a fact ❤️❤️💗 💗 even if it always seems to remember that you will never be alone in this battle and you are SO AMAZING men and women, even when we seem to be at rock bottom we climbed everything, I didn't believe that but I went through it AND YOU ALL HERE WILL WIN, AND NOW I'M SO MUCH PROUD ❤️❤️❤️ LET'S WIN, I went through it and it seemed like it would never pass and it was a sea of darkness but there is always light in this environment and with time we see that we are capable and we are always fighting❤❤ LET'S GO ACHIEVE EVEN WHEN IT SEEMS IMPOSSIBLE LET'S GO
Plus getting into a support group right? I know that helped me tremendously to be around people who understood my brain! Not only that they had Solutions on how to cope with it!
Pain is as regular as addiction. Taking pain mediation reduces (but not removes entirely) pain. When the pain subsides, like when one is sitting quietly, there is no urge to take pain medication because one is not prompted to do so, by the "usual" pain. Only when pain starts up again (from moving the body or being mobile (of joints) ) does the desire to take pain medication restart. It is not prompted by anything other than the "pain returning". - in a way, pain is an addictive event, always starting-up when activity happens again. - Have A Nice Day.
I have severe chronic pain anf I do take medication for pain. I only take a very small dose per day so that I am not bedridden and can take care of my son and do a bit of work around my home and have some quality of life. I wait till pain is extremely bad before I need to collapse to take it. I am prescribed more but don't use it. I wish I didn't need it but the pain is so bad I always think of taking my life due to such poor quality of life. It's been 41 years and after a while any Human would have thrown in the towel with 24/7 pain and no sleep. I have the feeling but I'm alive and I stayed to take care of my boys when their mother ran off with her boyfriend. I am lucky I'm alive and I am grateful to all the pain specialist who try to help me.
Pain medicine was created and intended to help people manage pain. Creating more laws and regulations that prevent doctors from legitimately prescribing necessary medication is doing nothing but creating a chronic pain crisis. Ppl who do this illegally manufacture it themselves. They sell it themselves They do not obey laws - obviously. Putting doctors in prison (YES, this is happening) and limiting the amount of pills a pharmacy can carry (which results in patients being unable to fill legitimate prescriptions), enabling pharmacists to undermine doctors, has resulted in ppl committing suicide because they can't deal with the pain day after day. They have little to no quality of life. THAT is the result of the "opioid crisis."

5 years off of heroin and i have np emotions at all nothing is worth doing. I feel like a robot for 5 years with no enjoyment in eating or achieving or in socializing and no sex drive or interest in anything at all. I believe it permanently altered my brain by using IV heroin for 10 years. Nothing could compare to the high it did give me
I am an addict and I literally feel like I can't stop, it's making me feel suicidal, as an addict this really is a disease which I feel is no cure for, NA and AA does not work, I've tried everything and nothing can get rid of my addiction
It's crazy the effects drugs have on a person. I injected amphetamine/meth for 11 years and 5 years before I took a lot of cocaine. Also the last 2 years a lot of crack cocaine as well as amphetamine. I've been abstinent from all drugs for 2.5 years. But I still have strange twitches and tics that I think are from my drug use. But it doesn't bother me that much I'm the happiest I've ever been. The only times when I really struggle is when the paranoia and anxiety hit me. But its not as often anymore. If your struggling with addiction. There is hope. Trust me if I can stop so can you 💯 🙏❤️
Quite a few years ago there was a BBC lunchtime news feature on a trial to cure chemical addiction. It was reported to be +90% effective in the trials so far. It worked by measuring the frequency of the drug and then passing electrical current of the same frequency through 2 electrodes the patient held in their hands. This caused the body to quickly start to excrete the substance out through the skins pores. The clinic room even had an en-suite shower to wash it all off. I forgot all about it for years and now can find no mention of it on the net. I wish I had recorded it but I had missed the very start of the feature and thought I’ll just record the evening news and get the whole thing. It wasn’t on the evening news however.
the body would excrete the substance out through skin?? that's crazy intresting, would love to watch this . if u are somehow able to find it please comment
Lol that sounds more like a fictional movie. Curing addiction isnt as simple as just removing the drug from the system. Also, that sounds like fiction, the mention of the "drugs just seeping out of their pores" part.
Do the chemicals in the cigarette also play a role in how nicotine affects the brain? What about vaping e-liquid that has 3mg nicotine in it? It's not as bad as smoke in the lungs, but does it have the same effects as cigarettes with nicotine even though it doesn't have all of the other chemicals?
Not sure if there are conclusive studies about other chemicals in the cigarettes. However, as long as you consume nicotine, it has the same effect on dependence. The dose may be lower and no smoke is better than smoke, but long-term studies would be needed to access the effect of e-cigarettes.
Cigarette nicotine is free base due to tobacco being treated with some gnarly additives to make it a better buzz, vape liquid I've seen usually uses nicotine salts.
As an addict I can watch this, is still does not register in my brain that this is bad, addiction overalls everything, this is why the government need to do more or use me as a guinea pig to come up with some results to help addicts like me and others out there.
True...Most of times understand and feel its bad but at the end or few minutes later totally forget.. and one day again like first thing i h ad mentioned up there... We understand , we know but ,not registering on brain by anychance..
Scientists need to make a drug for addicts to help stop their addiction and those impulses that make them want to use, I've literally tried everything and need help so badly.
@@mr_nobodyyy_ no ,that does not work, the whole point of addiction is wanting to stop so badly but it's an everyday struggle, , the cycle of addiction, the struggle and the impact it has on a human being
Do those prone to addiction have lower natural levels of dopamine or dopamine receptors? I struggled off and on with addiction. Since I was a child I've had a flat mood and seldom smile or feel contentment. It was always noticeable to others long before my addiction. Try as I might I have never felt the reward the video talks about. People would even get angry with me for not feeling happy. When I was a toddler my older brother used to humiliate me and hit me whenever I looked happy. He would snuff out my happy feeling. It went on from age 3 until I was 10. The psychologist told me I missed the developmental phase needed and that what my brother did was psychological torture common in psychopaths.
YES!! I was put on psychotropic medication at age 5: Ritalin. So my brain chemistry, my brain function, my tiny brain that doesn't mature until age 21 per research, was inundated with stimulants... I was essentially destined to be a drug addict, conditioned... add in the childhood and adolescent trauma and unfit, neglectful parents... Viola! An addict! I was failed... I didn't have a chance sadly. But I won't be anyone's victim or a statistic. I understand how you feel, and we just have to fight that much harder... it's awful... it's hard... I feel so alone too... i constantly struggle with "why can't I be happy like everyone else?" "What's wrong with me?" "I don't understand, what am I missing, what does everyone else have that i don't?" but I'm here to say that it's not your fault. Look into childhood PTSD and think you might find the answers you seek there my friend. Keep on keeping on friend. P.S. "People who don't believe in magic will never find it"... look around you and I promise you will find what you seek if you truly let go and be present and stop judging/expecting/comparing yourself to others... find yourself and love yourself... ask someone else how to... participate in life and stop expecting something out of life; stop waiting for happiness to clock you in the head... it won't, but there is magic everywhere, just not where we expect to find it.
Been clean of heroin for 2 months now I’m glad I’m happy I still smoke weed but stopped smoking and now I’m smoking cbd cigs to stop smoking weed, it’s just the drinking rn is kinda tough
Proteins made from micro organisms , such as bacteria and yeast, which are called single - cell proteins . Yeast has been used in making single cell proteins as food, such food is also rich in vitamins.
Ive been clean for a month and a half... Ive been a meth user for years. I really lost almost all. Of the pleasurable feelings... Like eating, i can taste the food but the pleasure of eating food is not there so i eat less. Im Praying that everyrhing will be back to normal soon.
It was really awesome presentation of drug addiction treatment. Rapid opiate detox is a relatively new method of treating opiate addiction. Because it can be accomplished quickly and privately, opiate rapid detox is an attractive option for people who want to avoid the fallout of having their drug dependence publicly known.
If you use drugs and the reward system desensitizes, but if you stop doing drugs will the reward system be permanently desensitized or can it be like normal again?
Brian Griffin yes it is because dopamine is definitely not the same thing as endorphin or serotonin. So there you go, just with those three neurotransmitters you already contradict yourself.
Uzależnienia Na forum było pytanie o uzależnienie. Wszelkie uzależnienia można zastąpić troską o system, czyli pomocą dla zwierząt i roślin, przy których występują niezwykłe doznania, uczucia i euforia, które z niczym nie można porównać.

Thanks so much, very simplified that even a child would understand. I have a question though, you mentioned how cocaine, amphetamine influences addiction, how does cannabis do this?
WATT IS ON THE OTHER SIDE OF ANY ADDICTION SOMETHING EU R DESPARATE TO AVOID EU STAY ADDICTED AND EU CANT LET GO BECAUSE LETTING GO MEANS FALLING BACK INTO WATT EU R DESPERATE TO AVOID SUCH A FEELING UNSAFE. ISOLATION LACK OF BELONGING LONELINESS EMPTINESS
I was used chemicals and smoking but not now. Last one month I nothing uses. One month ago when I was smoking a joint I feel I'm lost. Then continued till this day that repeating.. any solution?????
Hi i start take every day amphetamin , im in my first month i cant stop i use everyday 1g or more in sundays now, when i use i dont fell it but when i stop, i fell like i am dying what should i do
Are there any studies or info about the consistency of drug use by people with addiction? For example, there’s a person addicted to nicotine, does that person use the nicotine they have consistently always until it’s gone or would the brain know to divide based on amount they have, OR would they simply use until their body’s addiction is satisfied (wether small or large amounts of nicotine)?

It worked by measuring the frequency of the drug and then passing electrical current of the same frequency through 2 electrodes the patient held in their hands.
This caused the body to quickly start to excrete the substance out through the skins pores.

Brian Griffin
Brian Griffin yes it is because dopamine is definitely not the same thing as endorphin or serotonin. So there you go, just with those three neurotransmitters you already contradict yourself.
I don't have all day dude, this was as much as I needed to know.

Uzależnienia
Na forum było pytanie o uzależnienie. Wszelkie uzależnienia można zastąpić troską o system, czyli pomocą dla zwierząt i roślin, przy których występują niezwykłe doznania, uczucia i euforia, które z niczym nie można porównać. Ludzi, którzy w systemie czynią destrukcje, uświadamiać, aby w trosce o system pomagali zwierzętom i roślinom. I w systemie negatywnymi myślami, słowami i uczynkami, nie czynili destrukcji, za którą na pewno poniesie się konsekwencje.

Are there any studies or info about the consistency of drug use by people with addiction? For example, there’s a person addicted to nicotine, does that person use the nicotine they have consistently always until it’s gone or would the brain know to divide based on amount they have, OR would they simply use until their body’s addiction is satisfied (wether small or large amounts of nicotine)?
You're asking about nicotine???? Smh
