What is Addiction?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WaK9JMlSDnI

Addiction is a complex condition, a brain disorder that is manifested by compulsive substance use despite harmful consequences. People with addiction (severe substance use disorder) have an intense focus on using a certain substance(s), such as alcohol or drugs, to the point that it takes over their life. This leads to harmful consequences to their health, relationships, and responsibilities.

Addiction is characterized by:

Compulsion: The individual feels an overwhelming urge to use the substance or engage in the behavior, often to the point where it becomes difficult to resist.

Loss of Control: Despite efforts to cut down or stop using, the person is unable to do so. They may consume larger amounts over time or engage in the behavior more frequently.

Negative Consequences: Continued substance use or behavior despite experiencing negative consequences in various aspects of life, such as health problems, relationship issues, legal troubles, or financial difficulties.

Preoccupation: The individual may spend a significant amount of time thinking about using the substance or engaging in the behavior, and may prioritize it over other activities.

Tolerance and Withdrawal: Over time, the person may develop tolerance, needing more of the substance to achieve the same effect. Withdrawal symptoms may occur when the substance is not used, leading to discomfort or distress.

Addiction can involve substances such as alcohol, ni****ne, opioids, co***ne, or illicit drugs, as well as behaviors such as gambling, gaming, or compulsive eating. It is considered a chronic, relapsing condition that requires long-term management, often involving a combination of medical treatment, therapy, support groups, and lifestyle changes.
