Addiction is more than a physical issue, it is a state of mind. In a sense it is the exile of the inner sense of truth from one's decision making faculty.

What the fuck are you talking about? I can't believe that as I sit here, dieng, wasting away what could have been a beautiful life, with all the comforts and conveniences, some anal-retentive flower child wants to link his new age psycho-babble with my addiction. Please, please people...I come to these forums looking for a way to escape from this hell. And you can believe me when I say, pet rocks and Ju-Ju beads ain't gonna do it.
I am a firm believer that chemical changes occur within one's brain after using chronically for years. There is no state of mind. It is a disease where one aspect is a change in the brain not mind.
