What Addiction Is, Essentially:?

Question by Puddy: What Addiction is, Essentially:?
When you get right down to the very root of it, isn’t the HEART of all addictions Imbalance?

Meaning, a lack of moderation/excess? The neuro-physiological in the brains chemical re-wiring that occurs notwithstanding?

Both in the Deeper, Spiritual sense as well as medically speaking?

no addiction is a weakness, people not wanting to face the reality of life , they cant cope so use escapism, like drink , drugs, etc to blot out feelings and memorys.

And they go on and on doing it unless they seek help to deal with there weaknesses, insecuritys, fears, or problems. Often then its too late.

All the information on it being on a defective gene, has not been fully proven, it was said to have been in a few tests done somewhere, but there is more information at present saying its not…

Either way the defective gene , maybe a reason some people are emotionally a little less stable than others and a reason they go for addictions. Who knows. But an addict , has issues running deep somewhere, even if they dont admit it.
