Imagine you live in a tiny house. Your stove will heat up the apartment but your ac will counter it. Some drugs are like turning your stove up very high. Eventually you turn your ac on to counter it, and will even out so you’re back to room temp (building a tolerance)
This is if the drug effects chemical levels. Drugs like alcohol are like installing a giant vibrator in your house. A house has no way to counter the vibration, and will shake until it stops.(some houses are more immune to vibrations like how some people are more immune to alcohol).
Expanding a little about withdrawl, After years of the vibrator, some things may become lose and damaged, and the inhabitants of the house become use to the vibrations. If you ever been near heavy vibrations for a long period of time that suddenly stop, you notice and feel weird right away once it stops, as you are expecting it.
For chemical drugs, you turn off your stove (stop taking a drug) but your body wont turn off the ac right away. If the “heat” is blocking the pain and the ‘ac’ is your body trying to feel the pain, you can have a big issue when you turn off the stove all of a sudden.
