I think this is such a helpful description of the totality of components working together to spur a positive outcome, which I think, at least in my personal experience, is an under-appreciated aspect of using a drug.

I've sometimes heard it said that it's an unhealthy reliance on a drug in place of curbing behavior, but I think it's important to understand it as, among other things, a stimulant to the activation of beneficial behaviors, which can be as critical as the drug itself.
