Dopamine?

Jump to solution

Our brains need dopamine, right?     

What  can give you healthy Dopamine,  besides EXERCISE.??

Chocolate?
Hugging?

Meditating?

Seriously confused.   Reading to much prevention and relapsing on smoking maybe.   EEK IDK.   #

Are you on Facebook? I suggest posting about your struggle in a video to your friends. It helped me a lot in my early days. And I am definitely not out of the thick of it yet. I have 82 days and still trying to substitute with things that are not good for me. Like alcohol. Don't sleep well when you drink too much. One thing that is good is chocolate cake for breakfast with my coffee! I am underweight and my husband just read me a study that chocolate is good for you in the morning. I don't care if it's a valid study, it's good enough for me. I have told myself that anything I do is okay, within reason of course, because I am not smoking cigarettes! So have chocolate cake for breakfast. I have a killer recipe for black magic cake that is so simple you can almost make it during the commercials on TV. Combine the dry ingredients, combine the wet ingredients, put them together and shove them in the oven. It has coffee and buttermilk in it and I swear it's the best chocolate cake I've ever eaten. Let me know if you want the recipe.
