Actually it less like taking another drink and more like getting over a harder addiction, like cocaine or pain killers.
So like you discover a new drug and its wonderful, all highs no lows. And then there highs and lows. Then the lows get kind of bad.
Then you feel really bad about doing something that makes you feel bad, so you decide to quit.
Well whenever you give up something that affects your brain chemistry, crack, heroin, or an Ex-BF . . . the brain and body take a while to adjust. We could addict you to an electric current that affects the pleasure center of your brain, love is a definite brain/body reaction.
And everytime after you quit you take another hit off that crack pipe, or phone call, you feel elated, frustrated, guilty and upset. As well as stress, anxiety and maybe some depression.
Also, every time you take a hit, you delay your rceovery because it brings it all up. Its almost like starting over.
So Peanut, you got to get off the pipe babe.
You could had your mom answer the phone. It was your own unconscious self destructiveness that sold you out.
Kind of like telling yourself you are going to go where all your friends are hanging out but this time you aren't going to take a hit of that pipe.
Just say NO to Crack
