Early mornings are a great time to get your head together.
Have a wonderful weekend #RecoveryPosse

The more time we experience something the more it gets embedded into the architecture of our brains. So our experiences actually change our biology.

[SOBER - John Perks @frontwish]

Our brains are shaped by our experiences, in a lifelong feedback loop. Neurons in the brain fire with each experience, recording the associations with the particular experience to help commit it to memory.

My mind pulls in many directions as a result of competing goals, wants and needs. It can feel glitchy at times. This why mindfulness is needed before the chaotic mind consumes all my energy.

@Travis97405703 Well done my friend, brilliant achievement.

Addiction is too complex to give it a comprehensive overview. The intrinsic effects of biology, psychology and social environment are too interlinked to narrow down to a sufficient narrative.

You don’t need to be addicted to something for it to cause you or others harm and suffering.

Not everyone who drinks alcohol will become addicted, but everyone who drinks alcohol will have a negative experience at some point.

@bb121479 Why? Because I’ve seen people claim they can moderate… but in my own life (and most stories I hear) it never worked long-term once the abuse phase happens theres no going back.
I’m happily sober 😁

[SOBER - John Perks @frontwish]

Unfortunately there’s no going back. Once we’ve had the experience of alcohol abuse, we are thereafter unable to drink normal ever again.

It’s beautiful weather today (72°F) and I’m not a fan. 😂 Maybe I’m different, I like the cold, I like the quiet, I like being a recluse.
