Did you know that your Brain is the real source of feeling "high" and not any outside substance? Listen once again to an expert quote from the Harrison's Principles of Internal Medicine, Thirteenth Edition and you would see the reality of the above statement:

"THE ENDOGENOUS OPIOID PEPTIDES

The endogenous opioid peptides bind to a family of opioid receptors. The endorphins, enkephalins, and dynorphins, although chemically related, arise from different biosynthetic pathways... These opioid precursors are produced in many parts of the brain, including various hypothalamic nuclei... The limbic system contains substantial quantities of immunoreactive b- endorphin, suggesting a role in memory, learning, and emotion.

Neurons containing the enkephalins are even more widely distributed in the central nervous system. Levels are particularly high in the dorsal horn of the spinal cord, a region that contains opiate receptors and is involved in the transmission of pain (see Chap. 11). Enkephalins may act at this location to inhibit pain transmission by sensory nerves...

Physiologic actions for these hormones may include (1) morphine-like analgesic properties, (2) euphoria and other behavioral effects, and (3) neurotransmitter and neuromodulator functions. The peptides may play a role in memory, learning, response to stress, reproduction, pain transmission, and regulation of appetite, temperature, and respiration. In addition, the placebo response, acupuncture-mediated analgesia, stress-induced amenorrhea, and the pathogenesis of shock may be mediated in part by enkephalins and the endorphins.

Tranquilization, irritability, agitation, violent behavior, catalepsy, narcolepsy, catatonia, the smoking habit, alcoholism, and drug addiction may all be due to biochemical abnormalities of this system..."

What did you learn just now?

What you can learn from the above is that the drugs / alcohol you became addicted to could make you "relax" or "get high", only because your brain has special receptors for such substances and their mediators. These receptors and mediators produced inside by your brain are THE TRUE EFFECTORS of the feelings of "good tone" or "relaxation", "pleasure" or "getting high" and so on, and not the substances you take themselves. What is more, your brain produces substances similar to the ones you artificially got into your system from outside to make you feel "good". The only difference is that your own brain substances are HEALTHY and KILL THE PAIN and are FREE, while those which you hurt yourself with are POISON and KILL YOU and MAKE YOU PAY ULTIMATELY WITH YOUR LIFE.

NOW YOU CHOSE! There is an alternative way to "boost up your tone" or "relax" or "get high", whichever you prefer, by simply helping your own brain to produce more natural and healthy substances inside to make you truly confident, energized and happy.

You need to come to know your Mind and start a Relationship with it. You can do this by transcending your present state of ignorance about your own Self and the limits of your present one-dimensional interactions with Self and the World.
