Methamphetamine floods the brain with dopamine, creating intense highs but exhausting the receptors that regulate emotion. Recovery takes time because those receptors need to heal, not because you're failing to move on fast enough.
Our brains, when I use meth, dopamine is released in absolute abnormal rates, which is where that euphoria comes from. And that's kind of that thing I'm chasing, right? And those dopamine receptors, they're exhausted. They need a chance to heal and they're not putting any out anymore because I've been putting stuff in that creates it. And that takes time to heal. Which dopamine is something that we have normally that just kind of helps us regulate our daily emotions. So I like to sort of explain the actual physical side of it, right? So that there's, there's, you know, it's me, I should be better by now. And because it's not, you are better by now.
