Substance use disorder, being low on dopamine or feel-good fluid, causing you to be restless, irritable and discontent, that's the disease.
Ever wondered why some people can't seem to break free from addiction, despite knowing the dire consequences? In this episode of 'James Sweasy Live', James Sweasy tackles the intriguing link between addiction and low dopamine levels. Drawing from his own journey of recovery, James breaks down how a lack of dopamine, the brain's 'feel-good' chemical, can trap individuals in a relentless cycle of substance abuse.
He shares personal anecdotes, like waking up every morning feeling irritable and cursing his boss, to illustrate how low dopamine levels can fuel restlessness and discontent.

He discusses the importance of seeking help and practicing self-care to manage and overcome addiction.
This episode isn't just about understanding the science; it's a heartfelt call to action for anyone struggling with addiction or supporting someone who is. With real-life examples and practical advice, James offers a compelling look at how recovery is possible, even when it feels out of reach.
