Purpose of the Story

By providing a snapshot of the experience of a person who struggled with addiction to caffeine, nicotine, and alcohol, my goal is to introduce alternative ways to replace them.

The purpose of replacement is to reduce the adverse effects of addictive molecules on our physical and mental health.

I articulate the critical points under ten headings using Tina’s story as a case study. This story provides information only, not health advice.

1 — Impact of Addictive Molecules on the Brain

Humans evolved with natural ingredients in food and drink format.

However, as we evolved and developed technologies, we found ways to extract specific ingredients from plants to enjoy their effects and use them as healing agents.

Undoubtedly, controlled drugs in medication saved millions of people's lives.
