And I don’t agree with they do not love they merely use ... because I just can’t set that as a truth for anymore …

incitingsilence,
That is POWERFUL! And why I no longer think in terms of "addicted"
(a word with more baggage & folklore than most).
My preferred word is REWIRED.The latest neuroscience seems to support
this.How tragic & inevitable the outcome when the brain gets it's highest
dopamine 'payout' for actions inimical to it's very survival.
What if I gained orgasmic pleasure from putting my hands in fire?
