Drug Addiction - You Need a Life, Not a Drug

Addiction to drugs of abuse can often be overcome by finding a better replacement activity. This is because people with fulfilling lives and social connections are less likely to be addicted. Similarly, rats in their natural habitat are not easily addicted to cocaine, but isolated rats will press a bar for cocaine indefinitely. The key is to have something meaningful to do and a sense of purpose. So, don't just focus on getting off the drug, but also find something better to do with your life.
