Addiction is more the result of lost social connection and love, than it is about the chemical hook in the substance. Fascinating read! Solitary caged rats, when given two sources of water - one clean, the other with a drug in it - eventually became so addicted that they drank themselves to death. But when a group of rats were kept together, with loads of company and a stimulating environment to run around in, they didnt go for the drugged water. Well worth a read, this... help society reconnect and overcome loneliness, if we want to deal with addiction, rather than throw people into continued isolation and hope theyll just overcome it through sheer strength of will. huffingtonpost/johann-hari/the-real-cause-of-addicti_b_6506936.html
