Addiction is now understood to be a brain disease. Whether it’s alcohol, prescription pain pills, nicotine, gambling, or something else, overcoming an addiction isn’t as simple as just stopping or exercising greater control over impulses. That’s because addiction develops when the pleasure circuits in the brain get overwhelmed, in a way that can become chronic and sometimes even permanent. This is what’s at play when you hear about reward “systems” or “pathways” and the role of dopamine when it comes to addiction. But what does any of that really mean? One of the most primitive parts of the brain, the reward system, developed as a way to reinforce behaviors we need to survive—such as eating. When we eat foods, the reward pathways activate a chemical called dopamine, which, in turn, releases a jolt of satisfaction. This encourages you to eat again in the future. When a person develops an addiction to a substance, it’s because the brain has started to change. This happens because addictive substances trigger an outsized response when they reach the brain. Instead of a simple, pleasurable surge of dopamine, many drugs of abuse—such as opioids, cocaine, or nicotine—cause dopamine to flood the reward pathway, 10 times more than a natural reward. The brain remembers this surge and associates it with the addictive substance. However, with chronic use of the substance, over time the brain’s circuits adapt and become less sensitive to dopamine. Achieving that pleasurable sensation becomes increasingly important, but at the same time, you build tolerance and need more and more of that substance to generate the level of high you crave. Addiction can also cause problems with focus, memory, and learning, not to mention decision-making and judgement. Seeking drugs, therefore, is driven by habit—and not conscious, rational decisions. Unfortunately, the belief that people with addictions are simply making bad choices pervades. Furthermore, the use of stigmatizing language, such as “junkie” and “addict” and getting “clean,” often creates barriers when it comes to accessing treatment. There’s also stigma that surrounds treatment methods, creating additional challenges. Though treatment modalities differ based on an individual’s history and the particular addiction he or she has developed, medications can make all the difference. “A lot of people think that the goal of treatment for opioid use disorder, for example, is not taking any medication at all,” says David A. Fiellin, MD, a Yale Medicine primary care and addiction medicine specialist. “Research shows that medication-based treatments are the most effective treatment. Opioid use disorder is a medical condition just like depression, diabetes or hypertension, and as with those conditions, it is most effectively treated with a combination of medication and counseling.” Video Rating: / 5
[Verse 1]
Told you that I didn’t love you
Didn’t wanna, but I had to, oh, oh, oh
I know you don’t wanna see me
But what if I got down on my knees? Oh, oh, oh
[Pre-Chorus]
If not, then I don’t mind if I die
‘Cause I’ll never find another you
[Chorus]
Oh, my darling, can we pretend that we’re good?
Just for the night ’til the morning
I’d take it back if I could
If you wanna, baby, take it out on my body
Can we pretend that we’re good?
Just for the night ’til the morning
I’d take it back if I could
‘Cause I’ll never find another you
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 2]
Please, don’t make me have to say please
I know that you’re just as lonely, oh, oh, oh
I’ll tell you something that I don’t mean
Baby, pleasе, don’t ever leavе me, oh, oh, oh
[Pre-Chorus]
If not, then I don’t mind if I die
‘Cause I’ll never find another you
[Chorus]
Oh, my darling, can we pretend that we’re good?
Just for the night ’til the morning
I’d take it back if I could
If you wanna, baby, take it out on my body
Can we pretend that we’re good?
Just for the night ’til the morning
I’d take it back if I could
‘Cause I’ll never find another you
As you or someone you know may have struggled with long term addiction, alcoholism or substance abuse, the bible can offer a source of light in an otherwise dark and lonely world. Many have struggled to find sobriety and many have received a helping hand through their own spirituality with a personal connection to Jesus Christ.
God is love and the bible promises that god is always with us. Through our faith in God we will receive help when we are weak, god will forgive our sins and heal our hearts. In the darkness of addiction we shut ourselves out from the rest of the world. When we lead a lifestyle controlled by alcohol or drugs, we avoid our family, our friends and we ultimately disconnect ourselves from God’s unconditional love.
