The enemy of addiction is......

[stacisrainbownursery]

Wow this is amazing !!! You are 💯 percent correct!!! My 10 year old son just told me today that he’s weird and he doesn’t laugh at the kids jokes in school like he’s numb. Like he doesn’t have a sense of humor. I said you have your own sense of humor and maybe their jokes are not funny to you. I went on to tell him more and more or less don’t try to fit Into anyones circle ⭕️ let them fit into yours. And that is exactly what you are talking about how a child’s younger years could set them up for a bad situation later on life like doing things to fit in or trying drugs to fit in .

You are Xactly right about that. I understand. I'm a recovering addict. And wish I could have found more in myself than what's around me

I thank you for the knowledge im a struggling heroin/fentanyl addict. Really trying to straighten out.

I’m a 63 year old addict. He’s correct about our disconnect. At 13, I was already disconnected from the insanity of this planet. This Ukraine war, like all the wars in the past 100 years have been manufactured or based on outright lies. The selfishness and greed and insincerity of people disgusts me. So I became one of them but I couldn’t be one of them without the bottle . When I gave up on the world and the bottle, I was cured in April 2009

Quite a bold statement. Good response though, it's about time someone has an answer.

ADDICTION IS THE OPPOSITE OF CONNECTION

[randeephantom]

I truly wish you were my doctor. You're so intelligent and down to earth. I still suffering from benzo wd and using other. My anxiety and nerves are so bad. I feel miserable beyond belief. So many traumatic things happened in a short time n I feel like I'm always holdin my breath for the next awful thing 2 happen. Ugghhhh...just awful.

Connection to other's, so very important to have great carrying human interactions!

[TheOnlyElle.]

Prof Alexander's exponents in "Rat Park" kinda proved connection is necessary in social creatures
A drug wouldn't be an addict's "best friend" if addict's actually had real friend's and Family instead of a drug

[rigtymord]

I would expect the opposite of addiction would be laziness or procrastination because there is nothing more hardworking than a person trying to get their next fix

Can you address tianeptine abuse? I was sold this drug being marketed as kratom and became addicted. Need some guidance!
