Re: Patrick Carnes
Currently, I am at day # 71 of a particular addiction
Congrats hope you stay the course
(Carnes says that all addiction follow similar basic patterns and that recovery takes time due to the fact that the brain must reset itself and regrow healthier neural pathways...comments? )
Not all addictions cocaine addicts for example have one of the worst problems, when even after years just hearing the word can cause their brains to release endorphins giving you a slight high and craving for the drug.

Re: Patrick Carnes
Well i dont have any first hand experience to confirm or deny how slight it is i got that from a documentary on addiction.
The only real addiction i suffer from is smoking and i have no real desire to stop. Though i am building a fitness room should be finished today or tomorrow goto paint the walls and put in a carpet then i can start hauling the equipment in. Maby il fall in to some kind of fitness addiction and il stop smoking but i doubt it. P
But sill i hope you stay the course whatever comes your way and the best of luck to you.
