Ellie - I was thinking more about the dopamine "fix" you mentioned and I wonder if he's got low dopamine levels to begin with. He had a pretty nasty drug problem all through high school and his early 20's (had kicked it a few years before I met him, but his main drug was cocaine which I know raises dopamine). He tends to really be a thrill seeker too - racing cars, for example. He always has to be doing something new and he is really commited to whatever hobby he's doing at the time.
Hm. I'm not sure what it means if his dopamine levels ARE naturally low, but maybe it's helpful info to look for ways to raise it naturally too. I'll have to do some web searching.
