addiction
The realities of addition; the truth about living under, above and beyond the influence of drugs and alcohol.
How Inner work is helping me managing my Neuro-D Struggles. Content Warning.
Being born neurodivergent—living with ADHD and Autism—meant navigating a world that often felt like it wasn’t built for me. For years, the hardest part wasn’t the symptoms themselves, but learning to love and accept myself in a society shaped for neurotypicals.

From the Valleys of Peshawar to the Land of the Rising Sun
My Story: My name is Atif, and I was born on May 15, 2002, in Peshawar, Pakistan, into a poor but hardworking family.

The Complex Role of Dopamine in Our Lives: Understanding the Science Behind Pleasure and Motivation
*The Complex Role of Dopamine in Our Lives: Understanding the Science Behind Pleasure and Motivation* Dopamine is a neurotransmitter that plays a crucial role in our brain's reward and pleasure centers. It is often referred to as the "feel-good" hormone, and for good reason. Dopamine is released in response to pleasurable activities, such as eating, exercise, or social interactions, and it helps to motivate us to repeat those behaviors. However, when dopamine is released in excess or in response to artificial stimuli, such as social media or pornography, it can have negative consequences for our mental and physical health.
