A PARADIGM SHIFT

Mohamed Omar - 5 August 2022

Dear comrades,

I would like assistance in publishing a school of thought that inclines to view addiction as a habitual construct focusing on how redundant and automatic set of cognitive, emotional and behavioral patterns acquired by repetition, culminates a state where the body becomes better at executing obsessive compulsive behaviors than the mind.

My objective is to augment the notion that the hijacked brain during active use not only encompasses neurobiological changes in brain chemistry and structure, but also includes positively re-enforced behaviors that results in self- destructive habits. this would shed light on the elements of loss of control despite detrimental consequences as well as high prevalence of relapses.
