| Addiction | Passion stabs, unrequited love hurts and taboo desires can torment the spirit. Is it time to fix our love lives for good? | Omer Bonne means well; that much is certain. As director of psychiatry at Jerusalem’s Hadassah University Hospital, Bonne has seen patients – young men – come in again and again to treat the problem of their shameful, too-high sex drives. And Bonne has a ready solution: Prozac. Prozac is one of the … | Angela Chen | https://aeon.co//essays/how-far-should-medicine-go-to-cure-taboo-loves-and-desires | https://images.aeonmedia.co/images/4c7d125f-f4b9-4b49-9ef9-bc2a4a500d0e/ESSAY-CS008467.jpg?width=3840&quality=75&format=auto |
| Addiction | The fear of missing out haunts our social networks and our real lives alike. But there is a way to break free | Here’s a test you might enjoy: rate these scenarios on a number scale, ranging from 1 for mild discomfort to 7 for outrageous distress. Scenario 1: you’re flicking through news websites, as you do every morning. Today, however, you’re behind schedule and have only 15 minutes to read articles, instea… | Jacob Burak | https://aeon.co//essays/can-we-break-free-from-the-fear-of-missing-out | https://images.aeonmedia.co/images/1c3abfe6-afad-450c-ab2a-99923e052704/Mobile-angst.jpg?width=3840&quality=75&format=auto |
| Addiction | The neuroscientific picture of addiction overlooks the psychological and social factors that make cravings so hard to resist | Human beings crave all sorts of things: coffee, sugar, sex, gambling, Xanax, porn, binge-watching TV shows, doomscrolling on social media, cocaine, online gaming, heroin, methamphetamines, hoarding. We each find different substances and activities alluring, and we develop distinct habits of choice. … | Zoey Lavallee | https://aeon.co//essays/why-the-pull-of-addictive-cravings-is-so-hard-to-resist | https://images.aeonmedia.co/images/98330d80-ebe3-4f85-be11-0df7df56c9e6/essay-final-mg192901.jpg?width=3840&quality=75&format=auto |
| Addiction | The new science of addiction makes 12-step programmes seem like folk medicine. Is the concept of a higher power obsolete? | I hear a single voice as I walk up the steps to the meeting room. It reminds the men and women gathered in a half circle that, yes, they admitted powerlessness over alcohol, and that only a power greater than themselves could restore their sanity. Drunks-R-Us is held in a sunlit room at a liberal ch… | Rebecca Ruiz | https://aeon.co//essays/how-the-aa-is-out-of-step-with-research-on-addiction | https://images.aeonmedia.co/images/a7bcbc8e-9cb1-498c-9bcd-5347368ea0b5/485479355.jpg?width=3840&quality=75&format=auto |
| Addiction | Cutting brings relief because emotion and pain criss-cross in the brain. Can we untangle the circuits and stop self-harm? | Here’s what I remember about the first time I cut myself: I was mad. As a writer, I wish I could come up with something more literary, such as: ‘The cuts provided a route through my skin for the emotions to escape.’ Or maybe: ‘I used it to translate emotional pain into physical pain.’ Or even, perha… | Carrie Arnold | https://aeon.co//essays/how-self-harm-provokes-the-brain-into-feeling-better | https://images.aeonmedia.co/images/42f29e7a-fb1c-498e-8bbf-b757ae95233b/essay-arnold-self-harm-okhr_ibs_0007.jpg?width=3840&quality=75&format=auto |
| Addiction | Our inability to treat substance use disorders stems from a narrow-minded view that brains and genes are their real cause | By the time I realised that my drug use was killing me, I was institutionalised deep in the woods of Minnesota, at least a three-day drive from home, and without a car. My 1983 Corolla, including all my stuff, had been repossessed several months earlier. I was in a treatment centre at the unripe age… | Judith Grisel | https://aeon.co//essays/theres-no-neural-fix-for-reversing-the-addiction-pandemic | https://images.aeonmedia.co/images/42639e3a-0e61-4afa-8d8d-76d1beffa47e/essay-final-h_14558106.jpg?width=3840&quality=75&format=auto |
| Addiction | When I stopped smoking weed, my appetite shrivelled and my head throbbed – but it was the dreams that really shook me | It would be an understatement to say that America has an ambivalent relationship with marijuana. The United States is in the world’s top five per-capita consumer of the drug, yet it treats possession more harshly than most of its international peers. The federal government maintains that marijuana h… | Malcolm Harris | https://aeon.co//essays/is-marijuana-withdrawal-a-real-thing | https://images.aeonmedia.co/images/90cf9822-a748-4f6a-bc35-4955e903526b/Hashish-Smokers-by-Gaetano-Previati.jpg?width=3840&quality=75&format=auto |
| Addiction | Back on the islands of my childhood, I’m clinging to sobriety, searching for a rare bird that’s also on the brink | I spent the summer staying up all night. When everyone else was asleep, I was out in the gloaming with the livestock and the wildfowl, searching for a rare, endangered bird. I returned each morning to the tiny rented half-a-house above the harbour town where I went to school. Here, they call me ‘the… | Amy Liptrot | https://aeon.co//essays/on-the-lonely-midnight-trail-of-orkney-s-corncrakes | https://images.aeonmedia.co/images/9e121234-d393-41af-b3f3-40697f99d1ed/orkney-moonrise.jpg?width=3840&quality=75&format=auto |
| Addiction | Mucking out the pigs together can be just as helpful to recovering addicts as a 12-step programme or medical treatment | It’s become a truism of modern life that the majority of us are, in some way or other, addicts. We’re enslaved to our iPhones, to sugar, to spliff or beer or something harder, to checking emails, to the latest episode of Mad Men, to acts of random physical intimacy, to porn, to online gambling or ga… | Tobias Jones | https://aeon.co//essays/recovering-addicts-need-to-get-dirty-before-getting-clean | https://images.aeonmedia.co/images/ebe4aca1-9ceb-4af7-a51e-dd613ca2903d/essay-jones-addicts-windsor-hill-wood-main.jpg?width=3840&quality=75&format=auto |
| Addiction | Most addicts just stop using in time, without needing costly treatment. Why do some people walk away while others can’t? | ‘I’m at the point in my life where I’ve been doing this 20 years or so. [It’s been] probably 22, 23 years, and I’m ready to quit,’ said Clyde, a long-time methamphetamine user now in his mid-40s. When we met in 2011, he was beginning to grow weary from decades of partying and staying up for days at … | Stacey McKenna | https://aeon.co//essays/most-drug-users-stop-without-help-so-long-as-they-re-not-poor | https://images.aeonmedia.co/images/4e69cd31-8b2e-4fd1-a596-9700c52fa7a9/essay-ex-addict-483036702.jpg?width=3840&quality=75&format=auto |
