There was an account reposting like 70% the length of your videos. I think the name was drmedbyte or something just a heads up

As a person who scored a 9 on the ACEs test, had an addict mom & alcoholic dad, parents were permissive and who is diagnosed with bipolar disorder I really should have never even given drugs and alcohol a chance. Because it feels like I was destined to become an addict once I did 😭 currently on day 5 of inpatient rehab so I’m trying to stay sober but it feels like things are stacked against me. Can you make a video that explores the bipolar addiction connection more? Thanks for posting these. They’re helpful in my recovery. ❤️

When I drink alcohol I get really red and hot, also I feel like I can't breathe and my heart beats really fast. I really don't drink because of this is this like an intolerance to alc?

I’m a recovering addict who’s finishing their stem field PhD. This is such a honest and empathetic video. Thank you so much 💕

I'm 62 and really surprised that I have never been addicted to anything but nicotine.

My dad was a recovering alcoholic and became a drug and alcohol counselor. When I came of age we were careful to expose me to alcohol carefully and thoughtfully. I can now drink occasionally without worry, but when my mental health is off, I'll go dry for awhile to minimize risk.

many of my elders can smoke and can stop smoking whenever. I sometimes smoke but I'm not drawn to it same with alcohol.

Do we know how common just radically different experiences play a role? I hear people talk about taking oxy and feeling totally euphoric while, for me, it doesn't even reduce pain much, so I would never become addicted to that specific drug.

Can you talk about the role of the nucleus accumbens in addiction? I got a whole ass undergrad in neuroscience and I still don’t get it 😂

Control in a world of chaos. The human experience is tragic and beautiful.

peer pressure is so poorly understood/explained. it’s like silent social pressure, not people offering you free drgs out of nowhere
