no nicotine doesn't feel the void....you have to be on opiates for at the very least a year multiple times a day for at the very least one year to experience decent withdrawals......trust me.
hmm. interesting about the receptors. wonder if nicotine also fills that void. that may explain why i did not experience any withdrawl after quitting. i did wean down for a month first. but have not had cravings or anything. smoking like crazy though. ha
Thanks. Feel ok today. Who would have thought just 1 beer would have done that-assumin its the beer.
A healthy me starts 2009 so no beer, opiates or anything else!
Here's to a happy and healthy 2010
the drink bone's connected to the drug bone
The receptors themselves are different for alcohol and opiates...however, they are closely intertwined. Therefore, it's hard for the brain to distinguish from the two. Alcohol is a drug, make no mistake about it. Regardless of your drug of choice, alcohol will almost certainly lead you back to it, or become a problem of its own. It's best to stay well away from all mood altering substances, including alcohol.
You know that is a possibility abt alcohol binding to the same receptors, interesting thought. But you are okay now, right?? It is just one beer so I would just leave it alone for awhile longer and see how you do. Best wishes
