Why is addiction so difficult?

1.11K viewsBiologyOther

What is going on in my brain? What is the chemical mechanism? Why cant I just tell my brain to stop craving the substance? Why is the addiction removing all of my inhibitions?

This is hell.

You do something, you get a reward for it (reward is pleasure of any kind in this topic)

You want another reward so you do it again

This time the reward either isnt there or isnt as great.

You try it again and again and finally get the reward.

Now you know how to do it and want the reward once again

Eventually you get the reward so much that it doesnt feel like a reward and thats why you need it to feel normal.

It’s like edging for your brain
