I read a book about how addiction is not any kind of neurological/biological problem, and are mostly a self-inflicted illusion.

I hate these Reddity Kurzgesagt-type videos. They're always riddled with errors too.
Kurzfagwhatever has started putting out scifi fairy tale videos lately. I guess they always were but some of the recent titles/thumbnails are real howlers

How does the book deal with physical withdrawal.

How does the book deal with physical withdrawal.
They say physical withdrawal is there, but the actual physical symptoms are just like going through a flu.

They talk about people in hospitals who are put on morphine. They technically go through the same physical withdrawal symptoms as heroin addicts (chills, nausea, stomach cramps etc) but don't have any of the torturous cravings.

As someone who's never been a heroin addict, I can't confirm.

Is stinkskc still around?

Totally believe this. I’ve literally smoked crack, shot meth and heroin. Every fucking drug you could imagine.

And you’d know what I’d do after a great night like that? Get up and go to fucking work or class! Only morons go out and try to get high and do it all again. Go back to living your normal life, you fucking idiot. Disease my ass.

“Waaaahhhh i shot heroin and sold my baby to the niggers for more!” You, ma’am, are a moron.

Serious question: Doesn't this conflict with your belief that all psychological disorders are caused by demons?
No it supports it. Demons can be resisted and cast out.

"Duhhhhh isn't demonic influence a disease?"

That's not to say that everyone who gets clean puts it in those terms but they appeal to personal responsibility to resist the temptations/passions.

Theres that saying that alcohol doesn’t make you lie, it’s like a truth serum. If someone does something fucked up while they’re all doped out, it’s not a result of the dope, that’s just their true selves.

A lot of people do crack and don’t sell their kids PS4 to afford it. The ones who do blame the crack, as if someone has literally 0 agency when they either pick up the pipe or look at their kids toys as income for drugs.

As soon as we start appealing to deterministic causes for behaviours we lose all ability to call things good or bad. They just happen.
