Soin he doctor k, i was wondering if your body can become addicted to a certain emotion. Adicton is usually triggered by the lack of an emotion when you re young,. You were basically reacting to a sons caracter. The mind and body are drawn to things that satisfy certain needs. But in my mind, like even those those two things sound the same, i feel like there are different words to describe those. One word just hasn't been invented yet. I think about addictive behaviors as making bad emotions go away. With me or not with me, it's colping going quiet."
