How does addiction change the brain? According to Dr. Gabor Mate, it's a difficult struggle for hard core drug addicts to kick their habit because their brains are impaired. In a new book, he looks at the common roots of addictive behaviours and what can be done about them. It's called "In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts: Close Encounters with Addiction".

Yes he is brilliant and a very kind compassionate man. We so need the wisdom he is sharing. I cannot help but wish he had been around when the idiotic "just say no" anti-drug campaign got started. I can still remember thinking that ppl especially teens would not be saying no to
altering their conscienceness if they were growing up in abusive/unstable or neglectful homes that create so much emotional trauma during such vulnerable years. It sounded like the dumbest thing I had ever heard.

Sorry for the comments but I really have a problem here at 50yrs old. You see my previous comment that I got addicted to Cocaine and had a 9yr binge starting at 40. Well my family is not happy that a well known psychiatrist in the Hollywood area(Ca) has put me on Adderall for the last year knowing I have a addiction problem. To tell you the truth Adderall helps alot. I can focus sit still and complete tasks at hand. What are the long term effects? Physically I'm very healthy.

I agree with you there. I WAS a drug addicted AND HAD a very stable upbringing. No one in my family had a drug problem or alcohol. I never did drugs as a teenager. I started using when hit 40yrs old and had 9yr binge with Cocaine I didn't drink smoke or use any other drug,. just Sniffing Cocaine. I found out at 50yrs old I had A severe case of ADD. Found out people with ADD #1 DRUG OF CHOICE IS COCAINE BECAUSE ITS A STIMULANT. Cocaine actually made me focus and had a calming effect on me.

It wasn't as dumb as you think. You can always find a reason to use but after 35 years of use and abuse starting when I was 13 I stopped and I have 9 years now.
I saw my future coming up fast and I didn't want it. I didn't want to end up on the street or in prison or in a mental institution. Not everybody that started using drugs and got addicted had a bereft childhood. That is so patronizing. I actually had a very difficult and abbreviated childhood, but that's not why I used.
