Healthy food is more expensive and more time consuming. But I’ve got to make the effort now, no more cutting corners when it comes to my health.
Years of abusing my body has left me in poor health.

It’s easy to alleviate our suffering if we can blame someone or something else for it. The more difficult task is to accept our own responsibility & to give way to a realisation that we too are flawed.

With enough repetition and emotional significance, actions become more automatic and less open to conscious control.

The question I ask myself is, if I knew what I know now would things be any different? Difficult to predict I suppose, for there are many moving parts.

Over time heavy alcohol use and poor nutrition can stop you from being able to change your behaviour or even realising that you have to.

Alcohol abuse over time can impair the brain’s ability to control and change behaviour. Damage to the frontal lobe effects judgment, impulse, memory and emotional control.

Dopamine
As well as driving motivation and reward, dopamine also plays a role in memory formation.

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.

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

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.

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.
