Is Knowledge of your Physical Ailment.....
Dangerous?
I will preface this with I don't intend to drink again, and I really enjoy sobriety. But with my new found knowledge of why I don't have an "off switch", the dopamine is released in higher amounts and continues to ask for more etc, etc. I was curious if anyone else has tested having another drink or drinks, knowing why they are craving more. With this knowledge that the mind is basically tricking you into drinking a case of beer or a whole bottle of vodka, when in reality you now know that after 3 beers or 2 or 3 drinks should be more than enough.
Like I said I'm not going back to drink, but I am curious if anyone has because of the scientific knowledge they now have of their problem, thinking that they would be stronger this time or if it was just for experimentation? And if so did the knowledge prove to be helpful or detrimental? Just wondering.
