Sometimes the activating event is purely internal, just stress or doubts about life in general, or just a build up of pressure as your subconscious (your lizard brain) rebels against going the rest of your life without the drug that has been such a "relief" for so long. That kind of internal pressure comes in waves. The stubbed toe or parking ticket may really just a trigger to release a subconscious pressure wave that would have crested soon anyway.

For me the activating event can just be a thought about going to the bar or getting drugs. It doesn't take much but once that cycle gets triggered, a different part of your brain kicks in, you start wanting whatever you want more and more. The thought of not doing it becomes harder and harder to fathom and this is when you become very helpless and rarely ever don't drink or do drugs once it gets to this point. You can feel it throughout your whole body. The drive and pull to go get your fix. It's so powerful because your brain has become wired to act out the addiction once you're in that state of mind. Its maddening! Ugh.

I'm so sorry... That feeling is the worst. I hope you're doing better. I relapsed two nights ago after staying clean for 6 years. Yesterday was the worst. I was overwhelmed with massive guilt, shame and self-hate. The worst feeling though, and it's the one feeling only addicts know, is the feeling of being scared of yourself. I was and am still scared that I cannot trust myself to take care of myself even after years of staying clean. It's the worst thing to be sick with a disease that really has no cure and really no ending. So now I'm starting all over again. And we all can. Try to learn to be kind to yourself, you're not a shit person. You are sick... But you will overcome. Sending you light. I hope you're feeling better.

Thank you so much for your sharing. The video is very insightful and informative. I firmly agree that a self - perpetuating cycle of addiction to any kinds of drugs can devastate people's lives. These days, people who experienced drugs are prone to a lot of negative consequences from the society and even their own families. They isolate themselves because of the shame and guilt of using drugs. Some lucky people getting out of the jail have faced the attitude and hatred from society because the existence of the social stigma leads people to being rude and unfriendly to ex - addicts. The relapse is inevitable and exacerbate their lives again. hopefully, people open their arms to welcome them.

What do you do when you fully understand the cycle and yet consciously choose it on the hard days? What do you do when you're addicted to chaos and oblivion itself? Most days I'm rational enough to understand why I shouldn't plunge into this cycle, but I have days where I legitimately am so low that I consciously dive into it in a self destructive chaotic way.
@TreeHouseRecovery
@TreeHouseRecovery 2 года назад
That's a really deep question. Without knowing more about your situation, my honest answer would be to try and understand why part of you loves chaos and oblivion, or why part of you thinks you deserve it. It seems like it could be a coping mechanism and/or an escape for you. If that's true then the question becomes the same question at the heart of any addiction. What is it about those feelings that you find appealing, and why? And what else could you do to either remove your need for those feelings, make you believe you deserve better, or possibly even get those feelings from something other than substances? If you want some guidance let us know my friend. You're not alone. (855) 274-1040

Being chaotic also allows you to "feel" something strongly. Sobriety runs the risk of feeling nothing anymore... Being numb. Turning fully to God worked for me. I found it impossible to do alone
@driftwood757
@driftwood757 8 месяцев назад
@dcg31free dude you nailed it. Being self destructive makes you feel alive. I've spent a lot of time pondering this, and I think I have a decent working theory. It seems like on a spiritual level, we crave adventure. We crave the unknown. Maybe that's even what human life is about, and why so many bad things happen despite the all encompassing loving energy of God. It's like we WANT a surprise. We want the possibility of trauma and destruction. When was the last time you watched a movie where everything was fine, and there were no problems? Those movies don't even get made. That is a hint about what we crave as humans and for our own lives... we like drama. We like a problem to solve. I believe the addictive cycle dopaminergically hijacks this natural inclination. Substance abuse is subtly, subconsciously even (in some cases) woven into this process. Then, it all gets reinforced as one amalgamated dopamergic impulse cycle

I understand. Food is always in front of you. It’s also a necessity to sustain life. My friend goes to Overeaters Anonymous. She likes the group. I don’t like the word “anonymous” because it says you should feel shame. There is only shame when you don’t care and refuse to be proactive. I wonder if working with hypnosis and a nutritionist would help. I’ll be praying for you.

It lack something. There is a period when you remember bad outcome and stay away from it when you didn't relapse yet and you actually resisted for this period before the next trigger at your weakest. Bad outcome actually sobers you up and put on vigilance mode. Maybe its because you can switch copes between bad and good ones. Like isolating and regenerating in peace, vigilance and scheduling drug, or staying away from copes not being able to fall into these. And its the moment when you think you are winning is one when you loose vigilance and trigger get powerful. Our mind/subcoscious want to avoid pain of struggling pushing us directly into addiction and cope - and it knows us well, all ways to effectively play us.

A buzz would make it even better. But then I always find myself days later coming down off coke or meth wondering why I keep doing this to myself.

Most people think that relapses are caused by stress, but moments of celebration can also be significant triggers, especially with alcohol. Once someone takes that drink, it can lead to further substance use. If you need help, we are here. Call anytime.

He covered some important things, but relapse can be much more complicated than that and it is multi-faceted. Even recovery supportive environments, such as rehab, AA, and NA can be negative and activate a relapse. Sometimes people relapse, probably more so these days, because they can't deal with the withdrawal symptoms and aren't getting the right medical and social support. The video is only about 3 minutes long, so he could only give an overview.

@ScottH. 8 месяцев назад
Well I never really liked calling it a disease and I've struggled with addictions my whole life. But the reason why it's called a disease is because it changes how you brain functions. Neuroscience has shown this to be absolutely factual. Brain scans can show how a brain functions differently for an addict or alcoholic than someone who's not. Parts of your brain that control reason and control get much dimmer and other parts of the brain that control impulses get much brighter and when that part of the brain takes over, it becomes very, very difficult for a person with an addiction to not indulge in their drink or drug of their choice. That's the most difficult part to try to explain to a non-addict that can't understand why you just don't stop. Your brain anatomically changes due to drug and alcohol use and and causes a disorder that has distinct symptoms which is the text book definition of a disease.
