Dopamine and Addiction

If you're not an addict, you'll be able to sympathize with maybe even empathize with addicts of various kinds. If you ever find yourself doing a behavior and you kind of don't know why you're doing it, like this doesn't feel any good anymore. Well, that's, the dopamine system has been depleted. And so what you need is some time away from it could be 10 minutes, could be 10 days. And then it feels good again. True for relationships, true for exercise,. but if you train too hard too often, you can't bring the intensity that you need to get the stimulus to adapt.
