Publisher's Synopsis
Think you chose your addiction? Well, maybe it chose you. This creative workbook takes a new look at addiction, which is so misunderstood. What if our body starts with a deficiency, unbeknown to us, and all we know is that we do not feel normal or happy, and find ourselves unsociable, shy and depressed? Then one day we start experimenting with drugs and voila, we noticed feeling more confident, happy with a thrill of sensation. Most Chemically Addicted People, (CAP's) usually have a "drug of choice", the one that resonates with our body, mind, spirit. Maybe, unconsciously, our body chose our drug for us. CAP's usually have a stronger deficiency to one of the five neurotransmitters: Dopamine, Serotonin, GABA, Endorphins or Norepinephrine. Each are connected to a different feeling: increased energy (stimulants), pain relief(opioids), increased stress(workaholic), increased pleasure (dopamine)or relaxation (serotonin).
