I think it is a typical more is better conditioned response. If you look at society, it is not just drug addicts that have this problem. More food, more money, more everything. It takes some time to get over the notion that more is not equal to better. Unfortunately, it seems to take more time and work to make our situations better and to overcome our conditioned responses. It doesn't take any time at all to make things a hell of a lot worse. All we have to do is start drinking or using again. Hang in there and just resist the urge to take more. Remember that this is a lie your brain continues to tell you. More is not better.
