A long time ago, scientists proved that drugs like cocaine and heroin were addictive in rat studies. They'd put a rat in a cage and give it two options to drink ordinary water, or water laced with the drug. Pretty soon the rat started preferring the drug and eventually became addicted and overdosed itself. So scientists proved that drugs were 'chemically' addictive.
But some other scientists started noticing an interesting trend, during the Vietnam war. It became known that a huge number of soldiers fighting in Vietnam were routinely using heroin to cope with the stress. Everyone started freaking out, thinking that after the war we'd have a mass epidemic of drug addicted return soldiers wandering around. But funnily enough, they found that once they came home, very few return soldiers continued the habit. They started asking questions. Such as, how come when little old grannies go into hospital dosed up on morphine for weeks on end, they don't tend to go home still hooked on opioid pain killers? Obviously some people do, but most don't. So if its so addictive, how can this be explained?
In this book we discover what exactly creates an addictive personality and how addictive personalities become addicted to drugs and behaviours. What exactly is it about certain people that behave in addictive ways and others that have no problems giving 'chemically' addictive things up. We list the two main cause of addictive personalities, where they come from, how they develop and how to get rid of them and overcome addiction once and for all.
If you have an addictive personality, have a partner or perhaps a son or daughter with an addictive personality this book is for you.
