Searching for Dopamine

If we truly want to learn about what makes a substance addictive - we first need to educate ourselves on Dopamine.

In this week's episode Hame and Vic will delve a little further than 'it is the happy hormone'!

They will look at the role it plays in our drinking years, why we don't always feel amazing in the initial stages of sobriety and the importance of finding healthy dopamine substitutes in our sobriety.

(Yes chocolate does give us a hit of dopamine but other options are available!)

EPISODE NOTES

The book that inspired this episode is 'Dopamine Nation' by Dr Anna Lembke.
