This episode I interview Dr. Anna Lembke, MD, Chief of the Stanford Addiction Medicine Dual Diagnosis Clinic at Stanford University School of Medicine. Dr. Lembke is a psychiatrist expert in treating addictions of all kinds: drugs, alcohol, food, sex, video games, gambling, food, medication, etc. Dr. Lembke is also an expert in the opioid crisis, and the author of Dopamine Nation: Finding Balance in the Age of Indulgence (amzn.to/3AHHGBp).
We discuss the biology and psychology of why people become addicted to certain substances and behaviors and the key role that our "dopamine balance" plays in creating addiction. We also discuss the science and practice of how to conquer addictions, why people relapse and how to avoid relapsing. Dr. Lembke also shares her expertise on topics closely related to addiction such as community, shame and lying and she explains why telling the truth-even about the most basic things in daily life, adjusts dopamine levels in our brain.
This episode is an important one for anyone struggling with addictions of any kind, for their friends and families and for health care professionals. It is also for anyone who has defeated addiction and is determined to stay clean. Last but not least, it helps explain why all humans do what we do, and how we can all maintain a healthy sense of pleasure seeking in life.

I got clean off meth 13 months ago had a relapse 7 months ago and have been clean since. Watching your podcast and Rhonda Patrick’s podcast changed my life. I reversed all the anxiety and depression symptoms with sleep, cruciferous vegetables, fish oil pills, turmeric, weight lifting, cardio, light exposure, getting on a circadian rhythm, sauna, cold exposure, and tart cherries. Things that may have helped as well were surfing, a will to get better, vitamin d, and fermented foods. I quit alcohol and cannabis a little over a month ago after watching Dr. Mathew Walker on the JRE to get better REM sleep and this is the first time in 16 years I have been anxiety free! I’m thankful I learned from my mistakes at 29 years old and I’m gonna go back to school for neuroscience and nutrition because I have a passion for learning now and a will to help others. I recently became a Buddhist and this has helped me learn to be okay being alone. I used to get high because of failed relationships and now I just work on myself and got very fit for my own benefit! Thank you Andrew Huberman! I love you for putting all that life changing information out there!

Hi I just read your comment. It has been two months and I know what a stressful time this has been for you in the work you are investing in your sobriety. You may have given up today. It is my hope you are still trying even if tomorrow is Day 1 and that you are being kind to yourself when you get back up. I think every day one on your belt represents a lot of hard, painful work. I also am very appreciative of the respectful dialogue about this subject in the podcast. I do feel there is a bit of a bias against some of the digital conversations towards the end.

I love this video! I have struggled with addiction since I was 13 and I'm 50. I've been addicted to meth, opiates benzos, and alcohol as well as behaviors and was on psych meds and then on Suboxone for 10 years. I now have 2 years off every single mind and emotion altering substances except nicotine (chee the gum but quit vaping a year ago and prior to vaping for a few years, I smoked cigarettes since I was 14), and caffeine. I just got 2 years! I threw myself into a 12 step program and I am amazed at how I feel getting connected with others, helping others, connected to my connection to God. Each addiction is falling away and being replaced with connection.

Dr. Lembke's book was so helpful during my recovery. I quit drinking and smoking (weed) 8 months ago. The examples in the book (both extreme and relatable) helped me through the darkest times of withdraws. One idea that became abundantly true for me is that what once was mundane in life (made "better" by drinking/smoking) becomes SO much more enjoyable without and is something I now look forward to: Working out, Cooking, Connecting more meaningfully with friends and significant others, and more engaged at work. Only once you take a step back from your habits can you really see how much life was passing you by. I wish anyone reading this the courage to try wrestle down their addictions and being to enjoy life again.

Like I mentioned earlier, all the little moments are vivid. Thank you for the kind words and for sharing your story. Congrats on your decision to exit the alcohol and weed train. My wife asked me last night if I'd ever have another drink. I told her I don't believe that that ones meaning of life is to be experienced through a foggy lens. Best of luck to you, John.

@@daysjours One of the things that makes it worse is that too many people think the opposite way about addiction or mental health issues. They don't see courage, they see weak people with no willpower, and look down on them. This leads to allot of never-ending misunderstandings and discussions. It's already bad enough having serious mental health issues, but these ignorant mindsets toward mental health make it even more difficult for these people to get better. Imagine if people would act the same way about migraines, herniated discs, cancers, etc. It's unthinkable. But people who suffer from mental health conditions have to deal with this more than they should be.

Gabor Maté is also a very good read on addiction. He talks also a lot about how trauma and addiction are relation. His argument is that addiction is always a form of avoiding some trauma (in the broadest sense) related feelings. He states therefore that it is always important to look at the trauma as well as the addiction when becoming clean.

Look around right where you are. Look at the life you have right now. And do what needs to be done “ 5) Be consciously protecting yourself from addiction all the time 6) Talk to someone about the truth of details of your life- i will probably find someone professional to talk to now 7) Do not lie

@@gandalfontech9327 thank you. This is very helpful explanation along with what has been mentioned in the talk. The whole thirty day point is what needs to be reminded in times of anxiety.

Obviously, the whole thirty day point if full of will power and self control , and I strongly would prefer taking that route. Can someone help the baseline get better by slowing gradually?
@gandalfontech9327
@gandalfontech9327 Рік тому
@@anuradhasharma9514 @Anuradha Sharma in my experience slowing down is actually harder. It depends on your level of intake and what drug or thing you're using. But if you aren't decisive and simply slow down then there's always going to be temptation and when you're high you're more likley to make poor decisions and keep getting high. If you're decisive then that removes the debate and conflict in your mind over how much and when you should use and you can put all that energy into other things. Two other points that helped me though: 1- the first few days are the hardest, after that it gets easier. 2- understand you're taking the drug for a reason. It's serving you positively in some way even if on the surface it seems destructive. For me it was a way to escape my reality and remove the feeling of lack and dissatisfaction with my life, job and where i live. It also helped me feel inspired again and feel less anxious. So discover what the benefits of using are for you, why you use, and then make a list of other ways you can serve that need within yourself. For me it was going out to the park, walking in the woods, writing, reading, going to the cinema, even less destructive addictions like watching UKposts videos or snacking on junk food. All these things help me feel free, satisfied with life and less anxious. I'd like to cut out junk food but i know having a bag of crisps doesn't stop me working on my business in the day. Whereas weed would paralyse me to binging movies all day for weeks and feeling rubbish. So introspect, journal, meditate, whatever you need to do to understand that need and find other ways to satisfy it. Then when you get a craving go to your list and do one of the activities there. Even if it means binning off the gym or work for the time. You have to learn to honour those needs in yourself. They can't be ignored or soon they will return. For me it's about every two weeks I get a craving and i basically stop everything to go satisfy it in a healthy way before it takes over. I've noticed over time it gets weaker and my methods of satisfying the need get healthier. Teal swan has some good videos on this she calls parts work. Peace and love to you, friend 🙏

This podcast is a priceless gift 🙏🏻 THANK YOU ALL. Edit - when she spoke about the hard earned "wisdom of recovery" I shed an actual tear. As a recovered addict of 10 years, I have never heard a single encouraging word in the public sphere of anything equating to a modicum of acknowledgement, respect or credit for the absolute hellscape we've clawed ourselves through or indeed the fact we made it out the other side stronger, wiser and more grateful to still be here than most; and that we have a valid lived experience and perspective to bring to the world that hopefully helps others who are still in that hellscape, or better still, protects and prevents others from ever stepping foot in there. Instead we're dismissed, written off as failures, weak, jaded, damaged goods - regardless of the drug/behaviour. Oh and I am one of those people with a socalled silent addiction (OTC opiates), I have a family, a home, a mortgage, a job, my "sh¡t together" so to speak, and a quote unquote "life". No addict EVER thinks I'm a fellow patient at the rehab clinic, they look at me smartly dressed and hear me speak eloquently and assume I'm staff. Addiction doesn't care who you are.

As a women in recovery this is seriously my favorite podcast episode on UKposts! I appreciate the insight, understanding, and knowledge on this topic! My life has been touched by this disease tremendously! I lost my mom when I was 17 to an accidental overdose, and me and my sister found her dead. I’ve also lost a cousin and an Uncle to this disease!! I have been clean and free from active addiction since 12/24/2011! That was the last time I ever had to buy drugs for my addiction to Xanax, amongst other substances! The only reason I was able to get clean was because I was arrested and lost my nursing career temporarily! I went into a court ordered drug rehab program, and into the intervention program for nurses here in Tampa, Fl. It not only saved my life, but it gave me my life back! Since first coming into recovery, I have had multiple relapses with alcohol. My last relapse was in 2020 when my amazing husband and I got married! I had just graduated the intervention program for Nurses, and I was feeling so high on life! As the story always goes, I stopped working a recovery program, and I wasn’t going to meetings. I convinced myself that it was a good idea to drink alcohol at my wedding… I’ve then started binge drinking on and off in 2021. The last time I drank was December 27, 2021 which is now my new sober date! I am back in a recovery program and I have connected to a nurse support group again as well! Being in recovery is a lifelong journey! You never stop needing recovery support! I am just grateful that I made it back from my last relapse! Many addicts and alcoholics die from this disease! For anyone that is still struggling with this disease, I want to tell you, that you are not alone, you are worthy of Recovery, if I can do it anyone can, and please reach out for help! It’s the best thing you will ever do for yourself! For me, getting arrested was the only way that I could find recovery, I don’t recommend it!

My take-away from this, mixed with my own experience: if you get your dopamine from activities that don't require any effort or don't add anything meaningful to your life, you'll be miserable and remorseful, because you won't find the will to pursue anything meaningful, and you'll feel guilty for not doing anything useful with your life, which will take you into a vicious cycle of indulgence. But if you manage to get your dopamine from activities that add something to your life, you'll build towards something while also enjoying life. This way you will enjoy the peace of mind that comes with knowing that you are building towards something instead of wasting your life away. Btw, I thought I was addicted to the Internet once, but I wasn't, because there weren't any withdrawal symptoms if I went camping for example, but the thing was that I couldn't spend a single minute away from the Internet when at home, because deep down I knew I wasn't doing what I should be doing with my life, and I couldn't be in silence by my self for 10 minutes straight because that would face me with my inner thoughts, the ones that I kept shutting down with my Internet-binging. We are like lab rats nowadays, they keep feeding us this junk-dopamine, and we walk around lacking any sort of motivation to do anything at all with our lives, it's super sad, specially because many people don't have the slightest idea of why this is happening to them, so they are lost and helpless.

My biggest addiction is not alcohol, or smoking og taking any other harmful drugs, but mainly using/ wasting my time using social media. And I have come to realize, that I did not spend my life surfing on the internet purposely because i enjoy it, but to avoid the confrontation with my mind if nothing distracts me for minutes.

Wow, what an incredible picture you painted for me when you said, “It’s not simply a matter of wanting, it’s quite literally death waiting for you to give up…”. The picture I’m referring to is my son deciding to commit suicide on September 21, 2021. He struggled with addiction since he was a teenager. Having had long periods of being clean and sober throughout his life of 35 years during which he had many accomplishments, financially, socially, and most of all spiritually. He was clean when he died, but suffered from hearing horrific voices telling him he was a complete failure, that he didn’t deserve to eat (no matter how I implored him to enjoy a beautiful meal with me) and he lost 60 pounds the last 2 months of his life. I, his mother Dyanne, miss him tremendously. He was not just my only child, he was a mentor and my best friend. Thank you Carson for your deeply moving comment, Dyanne

I'm 32 now and also started as teenager and have had metal struggles since quitting the street drugs in 2017. It's been hard to get back into normal life even almost 6 years later, and why I watch videos like this to learn all I can about addiction, recovery, and how the brain works and can heal (I'm hoping). Life can feel miserable while on the drugs but also off them, and at least when your on them, you have some semblance of control over your feelings and a reason to get out of bed, even if it's just to make the pain go away for a time being. No way to live but I fully understand how my self and others so often end up there. So very sorry to hear about your son. God bless.

Is it helpful though? It only makes me feel more miserable. The mechanistic process of dopamine regulation doesn't help me in the least quitting addiction. The only advice is: just quit it cold turkey for x days. If it was that simple everyone would quit addiction. She barely invests any effort in laying out specific strategies addicts can use to identify and change problematic, addictive behaviors. No psychology whatsoever, just a reductionistic, mechanical approach. So we realize we're screwed, we have a terrible brain disease (from behavioral addictions like porn to substance addictions like heroin), we will never be able to feel joy, concentrate, be motivated, unless we completely quit our addictive behaviors for x days (so we have to wait for quitting the addiction in order to be able to improve our life in other domains), yet we end up without knowing how to quit addiction. Willpower alone is not enough. One has to work on beliefs, mindsets, emotions, etc., but se doesn't address any of that; her only solution is: quit for x days. She's like the Nike for addiction: "Just do it", although at the same time acknowledging that addiction is a terrible brain disease that makes you powerless.

It's the neurochemical reward which can lead to problems outside of the kitchen, as I have observed. Alcohol & drug abuse, etc. All the best in managing this part of yourself which served well on the battlefield but perhaps is a battlefield itself on civvy street.

I've learned so much from this video. I watch this regularly because I'm fascinated by how the brain works in relation to addiction. One thing that has stuck with me for months after first watching this video is the way Dr. Anna Lembke describes the "teeter totter" between pain and pleasure in our brain. She says, "once you tune into it, you can see it a lot. It gives people a way to imagine what they're experiencing on a neurobiological level, and understand it. And in that understanding gain some mastery over it." The way she explains this is exceptional. Those who are familiar and involved with addiction likely resonate with this. Awareness of the neurological and psychological effect of addiction on our behavior, is the most powerful resource in resolving the issue. If an addict understands their addiction and how addiction is biologically possible, they recognize the problem earlier with a better chance to recover sooner. Understanding your addiction is so beneficial in recovering and "gaining mastery" over it.

I thought about the pain / pleasure dopamine see saw following physical trauma and injury with endorphin/ dopamine release. With respect to Michael Pollan and How To Change Your Mind…and this interview, I wondered if you were able to discuss the roles of endogenous DMT synthesised ( perhaps ) in the pineal gland or choroid plexus and whether this neurotransmitter has a role to play in dopamine homeostasis? I find this whole area endlessly fascinating and compelling. Then I wondered about serotonin and dopamine synthesised in the gut and the gut/ brain axis. It all seems so incredibly complex.

While it seems she may help some ppl w/addx, she’s hurt those with physical disabilities with her severe scope-creep. She believes ppl w/intractable pain should not have access to opioids and has attacked a MD that sought to study suicide in pts that had lost access to pain relief. Extremism is appealing as ppl seek definitive steps and answers, but life is not so simple and ppl end up getting hurt when those in the psych field decide to disregard their input and decide they know better than them.

It was even hard after he got sober because it took probably 3 months for him to start to find a homeostasis. So if it takes you longer than 3 to 4 weeks hang in there!!!

I do not drink anymore, I don't smoke pot, and I limit my caffeine Intake to 1 coffee a day. My only vice at this point is nicotine. But I'm quitting that in the near future with my new found respect for myself. One disciple will carry over to other areas of your life. I don't want to be that person any longer.

In the context she was speaking was to the contection we share with others when they share deeper intimate parts of themselves that we can relate to. What you said about shallow relationships makes me think a bit on how I view relationships at times. What I found is what I might have found as shallow or what I preceived a relationship as being more as aquantences is actually very self absorbed on my part but even more so cyanical. I found the more I view the relationships for what they are and look for the good aspects in every relationship the more I view them in a postive manner. I just find this to be very true in my connection with aa and work. I connect deeply to these people through their shares and often times in conversation but many times feel as just they are shallow. I hope I didn't offend if thats not what you meant by it. It just made me thing of this.

If you have relapsed after all that time it is (according to her) because your dopamine reward system didn't stabilize. How are you right now? I'm not very impressed by her. All she says is - do abstinence, let the dopamine reward system stabilize and you're good. Easy to say, and hard to do. Doesn't talk about psychology, depression and anxiety and trauma, etc., that may be connected with addiction, doesn't talk about beliefs and mindsets, and doesn't say how is an addict supposed to endure 30 days or 90 days on his own. There are other approaches, like Judson Brewer's mindfulness and curiosity strategy, like Easy Peasy Method and Freedom Method. Judson Brewer's approach is supposedly better than gold standard. This episode was only doom and gloom, and I'm really thinking now about giving up my PhD and life due to my porn addiction. My teenage years have ruined my life. No positive technique, no hope, no nothing, just neurology and dopamine talk. Addiction is more complex than that!

24:21 This principle has got to be one of the most profound and important bits of information I have ever come across. It puts a neuroscientific basis to statements like "There's no pleasure without pain", "No high without a low" etc. It also means that when we seek out pleasure, which we are hard-wired to do, we ultimately end up creating pain for ourselves. This reminds me of the Buddha's teaching: All life is suffering. Truly fascinating. I'm going to have to spend some time reflecting on the myriad ways in which this principle applies to my own behaviour, and then try to witness this process in the moment, as it happens, as best as I can.

Once that backlog gets heavy enough it manifests into the physical and mental ailments that we see so commonly nowadays. The generations that are under 25 or so rn were socialized to avoid pain ie. given participation trophies so as not to feel bad for not winning a game etc and that’s one of the big reasons for the mental health crisis we have now. They were coddled by the school system and now going into the real world realizing they don’t have the natural coping mechanisms that previous generations were able to build.

Dr Lemke & Huberman, I find it hard to comprehend how addiction can be discussed for this length of time without properly unpacking trauma. In my experience, trauma drives addiction. Dr Lembke's points about adaptation are correct. Intractable addiction therefore is a survival mechanism for complex trauma. Regarding shame- Tipping a recovered addict too far into shame can be dangerous. This is because shame is the belief ; 'I'm a bad person' rather than the more flexible guilt response of ; 'I did something bad'. Many addictions stem from an inherent belief in one's 'badness'.

You will be surprised how addictive cannabis is for some people, I had a 20 year daily addiction to it and took me several years of trying to give it up before I succeeded, there was no help because as you say people honestly believe it is not addictive, it left me depressed, anxiety, messed up my sleep and felt like I had lost a best friend when I tried to quite, I think taking up running was what helped in the end.

@@dirttales unfortunately in the long term cannabis will decrease your quality of sleep, hence why you always wake up with that brain fog, I believe it’s down to no REM sleep while high on cannabis. It took me around 6 weeks before my sleep started to Improve after quitting, during this time I would have the most vivid dreams, REM sleep in overdrive I would presume while your body gets rid of THC which does take weeks, probably another reason why your sleep is really bad for a 6 week period, your body is in fact craving THC, something people say doesn’t happen with cannabis but I have to disagree. I can only suggest sticking at it and take up exercise if you can, running really helped me and it helped clear my lungs too, you need to tire your body out and then you will sleep better at night. After several weeks you will feel so much better, if your still not sleeping perhaps speak to a doctor. Best of luck.

@@dirttales Get sleeping pills to be able to sleep while quitting, if it makes you not being able to sleep for 4 days. You will eventually be able to sleep by your own when the worst days are over. Deep breathing, warm shower/bath and magnesium are also good for sleep.
