🔷 Addiction Cravings stem from the brain's reward system (dopamine, basal ganglia, prefrontal cortex, insula) being hijacked by substances, creating a powerful "wanting" (incentive salience) that overpowers "liking".

🔷 Intense dopamine surges from drugs, food, po*******hy, gambling.. teach the brain to link cues (people, places, moods) to the drug of choice/behavioural addiction , triggering intense craving memories

🔷 This continues for many of us even after lengthy abstinence, involving sensitised neural circuits and impaired executive control that make relapse more likely.

🔷 Addiction rewires the brain’s reward pathways, often driving cravings that overpower logical thinking.

🔷 Understanding this 'hijack' is key to recovery.

🔷 Understanding helps us approach addiction with compassion and knowledge.
