To ELI5 drug addictions.

Do you remember the last time you tried a new dessert or cookie that you just really liked (or chips if you love savory treats). You might have had trouble saying no to another bite, or maybe you polished off the whole bag without thinking about it.

Drugs are like that, times a million. And once you have had that experience it is hard to forget that it’s out there. The comparison between that and normal life, completely eclipses normal life and makes it feel not worth living. It is very hard to find things to motivate you outside of drugs once you have that hanging over your head.
