So I still do not have much information on this subject or done any extensive research. I am hoping that when I meet my expert to get a more clear direction…
I did find some websites that will hopefully help me in understanding really what I am trying to do. Also doing some looking in the library for books that will give me more info…just would really like to some kind of experiment but don’t know exactly what to do?
All in all, I just need to learn more about the subject I’m doing before I jump into any conclusions. So, I am now going to try and learn everything I can about the Physiological, Psychological and psychospiritual aspects of addiction. I want to find out different opinions and theories about these aspects from all types of people…Right now I am listening to a lecture on the physiology of addiction by Carl Christensen, MD PhD..very interesting….turns out that the biological children of alcoholics have more of risk to become alcoholics, even if you are raised by a different family…and future alcoholics are able to drink more than their peers. Also talks about polysubstance abuse or cross addiction which is shown by a man in the slide had to give up one drug so he switched to another…talks also about the pleasure center (which in addicts is abnormal) in the brain, as well as how addicts have abnormal responses to visual cues of their addictions…I definately will do more research on that…
Will finish the slideshow when I get home and have time. Excited to learn more about this subject, it is so fascinating!
