Hmmm. That is really interesting to know. About the big dumb ogre part of our brains. That makes my own addictive struggles make a bit more sense. Seriously, you rock. You really do. And this post is just one of many reasons why I really really really like you. And you thought it was just your boobs!

You might want to look at learning about balancing your dopamine & serotonin levels. I know those are directly relate to addiction. People with ADD tend to have low dopamine levels which is why they're more prone to addiction. And when you take anti-depressants, it raises your serotonin levels which causes a dip in your dopamine. And ADD meds like adderall raise your dopamine which causes a dip in your serotonin. It's all pretty interesting stuff, actually. I'm only just learning about it, myself (after going off Adderall).
