So, going through detox, I've been binging on my favorite youtube subscriptions.
Usually I find the YT ads utterly useless and they usually just piss me off. But, before a Hodge Twins (fitness) video, I saw this ad for Lumosity- a cognitive-ability-game-based collection of brain games that supposedly improve things varying from- memory, concentration, ability to focus, and even motivation.
Well, with most of us on TDS know what it's like to experience some sort of withdrawal, and these are all things hindered from drug use and their eventual withdrawal. I know first hand I am not able to concentrate nearly at all (forget extended periods of time) while in withdrawal, so I decided to give this shot.
The only bad part is that you only get 3 free days and most programs are at least 20 days. However, I intend to look deeper into it and continue the 3 day trial and expect myself to eventually purchase the full membership if it's not too expensive.
Don't mean to come off as an advertisement, but as I research deeper and deeper into the neurochemistry of withdrawal- it's all about transmitters, receptors, and neurons. And since these games are based off the research of a huge scientifically backed effort, I tend to trust the publishers that these games will help spur the creation (healing, to us in withdrawal) a bit quicker than just sitting around. I'm open minded- I'll give it a shot.
The games don't last but a few minutes, so they're not too terribly hard to process while in withdrawal. If I end up doing these for an extended period of time I will post back as to if I notice any real difference or not.
