If you are ever in this situation .... go for a walk, run, exercise or lift weights ... the dopamine hit from the effort will immediately satisfy whatever it is the brain is feeling and also make you forget about other things for a while. Physical activity immediately relieves those bits of stress.

Because if you don't ... you're on the path to wanting to satisfy these cravings with a pill or drug ... either legal or illegal and you're on your way to more problems.

... and if we don't get a dopamine hit from exercise?

And when you don't take drugs or drink alcohol or whatever?
