Are We Getting High ’Cause the Thrill is Gone?  - Addiction/Recovery eBulletin

Dysfunctional brain Dopamine caused by Reward Deficiency Syndrome – 

April 29, 2025 – What happens when the thrill is gone? In fact, what if the thrill was never there to begin with? 

The sun is setting on a balmy Saturday night in New York City, and 14-year-old Gerry is all alone sitting on his family’s balcony overlooking the Hudson River being lit up by the mysterious NY Skyline -a wonderful sight! Talking to his friend Pete, living in the same high rise, no novice when it comes to getting high on weed, who is encouraging Gerry to eat that THC delta 9 gummy that Pete gave him in the morning when Gerry angerly said that he was grounded for two weeks because he lied to his mother about a school project. Gerry’s mother Sue, has been married three times whereby Gerry’s biological father died in an auto accident while driving under the influence of alcohol, weed and cocaine. Sue warned Gerry about this since he could remember as young boy. His 19-year-old sister Barbara is facing DUI charges and on her way to rehab. With all this negative information for some unknown reason Gerry for a long time now wanted to get out of his own skin knowing that something was missing. Peter shouted” take it already damn it”!
