I’m not looking for medical advice, but more understanding. I have chronic back pain. I can alleviate it completely with only 2 things - alcohol and a heating pad. Ibuprofen lessens it but it’s still present. Muscle relaxers do nothing (which makes sense because it’s not muscle related, it’s spinal disk degeneration).
A tall glass of whiskey makes my back relax and I can move normally. Once it wears off tho, it’s right back to tense and painful.
I laugh at your puny knowledge of the subject

Addiction is a neuropsychological disorder characterized by a persistent and intense urge to use a drug or engage in a behavior that produces natural reward, despite substantial harm and other negative consequences.

#A drug addiction, a distinct concept from substance dependence
laugh at what now?
At your puny knowledge of the subject; conflating addiction and dependence, which I just proved to you — with sources — are two distinct medical concepts. Addiction is a neuropsychological disorder, and dependence is a biopsychological situation.
