How does chemical dependency work?
In: Biology
So you meet a special someone. At first you like how they look. For reasons you decide to hang out with them. You enjoy it, and feel good afterwards. So you do it again. Eventually you feel like you need them. Almost every single person in the world you could enjoy with the right circumstances and in the right amount. But sometimes relationship turns unhealthy and become bad for you. Eventually you might have to quit talking to them for some reason and it’ll probably hurt. You can get carried away with a person just like working out too much, video games, food etc. I personally think that’s the concept that sets most addicts down the path, and the one that causes relapse.
On top of that your body’s kind of like a closed system that’s in equilibrium and trying to maintain equilibrium. A drug has a direct affect on the system and the body responds by doing less of whatever jobs the drugs are doing. When you stop doing the drugs the change in equilibrium is much faster than the body can adjust to. That’s the biology part of it.
