Why do we say “Hugs Not Drugs”
Humans are wired to feel pleasure. After all, it’s why we reproduce. People call addicts “dope fiends” and that’s a true observation. We seek feel good experiences. Seratonin, dopamine, oxytocin.
So we get caught up in pleasure seeking behaviors which aren’t healthy. This leads to shame, which leads to isolating. An addict is born.
