Addiction shrinks the prefrontal cortex, your decision-making hub. But meditation thickens it, restoring control. Start with 5 minutes of breath focus daily. Each session strengthens the circuit that says “no” when dopamine screams “yes.”
The danger isn’t the first slip, it’s the spiral. One cigarette becomes a pack, one drink becomes a week. The key is pattern interruption, stop the fall after the first mistake, analyze it, and reset. A stumble doesn’t have to become collapse.
Cheap dopamine gives fast highs, deep dopamine gives lasting drive. The difference? Cheap rewards end with emptiness, deep rewards end with progress. Learn to distinguish the two, and you’ll stop mistaking destruction for satisfaction.
Neuroplasticity works both ways. Every relapse trains your brain to expect failure. Every small win teaches it otherwise. You’re not fighting addiction, you’re retraining what your brain calls “normal.” Recovery isn’t willpower. It’s repetition with precision.
Relapse starts when you stop respecting the next 24 hours. It’s not the drug. It’s the moment you say, “I’ve earned a break.” That break becomes a crack. That crack becomes a collapse. Protect today like it’s the only thing that matters. Because it is.
Every morning routine is neurochemistry in motion. Cortisol naturally spikes to wake you. Dopamine rises when you tick a box. Stack small wins early and you ride a chemical wave into the day. Habit design isn’t just psychology, it’s biology working in your favor.
Habits are stored as “chunks” in the basal ganglia. This is why quitting cold turkey feels impossible, the brain still runs the old script. Replacing the routine with a new one is more effective than erasing it; the brain rewrites faster than it deletes.
Fitness is a virtue—you don’t just say it, you live it. The grind never lies, and there’s no double life to it. You walk the talk, no excuses, no tricks. If you preach water, you better drink it. Respect the work, embrace the grind—fitness is earned, not given.
It’s not about why my body reacts this way but accepting the fact that I can’t absorb alcohol like others. For me, one drink is too much, and a hundred will never be enough.
Addiction accelerates cognitive decline by shrinking the hippocampus and weakening prefrontal control. The reversal begins with abstinence. Neurogenesis, exercise, and sleep regrow capacity. Clean days don’t just save you, they rebuild you.
Honesty is one of the best ways to live in the moment.
A good start is being honest with yourself, or is it the height of honesty?
For practice, journal one unfiltered truth about yourself today, and build from there.
Embrace your past, even the painful parts. Trauma shapes us, but we choose how to reframe it. That stress? It’s not just hurt—it’s your inner strength shining through.
Amor Fati!

HISTORY is a very important subject.
It teaches us about our collective mission as a nation of Afrikans.
However, we have been sold a lie that history is a useless subject.
