Can't compare drugs to a game, idiot.

Addiction is a condition that results when a person ingests a substance (e.g., alcohol,cocaine, nicotine) or engages in an activity (e.g., gambling, sex, shopping) that can be pleasurable but the continued use/act of which becomes compulsive and interferes with ordinary life responsibilities, such as work, relationships, or health. Users may not be aware that their behavior is out of control and causing problems for themselves and others. Source: https://www.psychologytoday.com/basics/addiction

Hi! I just graduated with a degree in psychology, and I don't really care to step into arguments, but this is a very interesting topic for me. Comparing drugs and games, as far as addiction is concerned, is actually completely legitimate. Both encourage your brain to produce a high level of a certain neurotransmitter, probably dopamine in this case, in response to the given stimulus of either drugs or Destiny or pornography or whatever the addiction is. With drugs, there is pretty much always more to the story because your body will build a resistance and dependency on the substance, but the craving is in great part because of the chemical (dopamine, serotonin, etc.) your brain feels it is lacking when you are absent of the substance or activity. Essentially, while your body may have other dependencies and problems with drugs, to your brain, the effect of addiction is almost the same, regardless of what it is addicted to. One may certainly wish to quit, but the brain doesn't instantly get over the addiction. It craves the chemical it produced in greater quantities when playing Destiny or doing whatever. If you want to read some interesting articles related to the subject, you could google cigarettes and the physical action of lifting something to your lips and having it near your mouth. Sometimes, to help treat addiction to cigarettes, psychologists will have the individual repeat the physical actions of smoking without using a cigarette to curb the appetite for smoking. This gives the brain a chance to release the extra chemicals without the harmful substance and helps it wean off of smoking. Fascinating stuff, addiction. : ) Not fun if you have it, though. I'd recommend a little sympathy rather than hostility.
