3 steps to addiction

Q: How does the brain develop addiction?

A: Step 1: Many humans experience childhood emotional/physical traumatic events that cause psychic pain that lasts a lifetime if not resolved.

Step 2: Some of these humans use all sorts of addictive behaviors and drugs/alcohol attempting to temporarily reduce that psychic pain, rather than seeking therapeutic help from a clinical psychologist who would help permanently resolve that pain.

Step 3: The addictive behaviors, drugs and/or alcohol eventually triggers the ΔFosB (DeltaFosB) splice variant of the FOSB member of the human FOS addiction gene in the brain and everywhere else in the human body, thereby permanently transforming a normal human into an addict.

At that point there is no sense in medically treating addiction (except for initial medical detoxification, i.e., “detox”) because once the human addiction gene is turned “On”, it can never be turned “Off”.

In order to become a recovering addict, the only hope for a suffering addict is to learn how to defeat relapse from a free-of-charge addiction recovery sponsor and a clinical psychologist, if he can afford one.
