This discovery dispels all the myths about addiction! Find out the real reason according to ...

«Addiction - depending on the result of strong chemicals» i>, - thou hast heard, sitting at a school desk, from the parents, and in many television shows. Some myths about dependence is so deeply ingrained in your brain that you perceive them as indisputable truth axiom. What if I told you that all this is not so? Johann Hari, author of the famous book «Chasing The Scream: The First And Last Days of the War on Drugs», on the shelves lays out the truth about addiction and that is taken from what is really addictive. For this man traveled more than 50 thous. Km in the light of what it took no less than three and a half years. After all seen the author has made a stunning discovery: in order to overcome drug addiction, people have to change themselves ... and its relationship to addiction.

In the mid-20th century in the United States conducted the legendary experiment with rats. Its essence consists in the following: the rat was placed in a cage with two bottles of water: normal and one in which the added heroin or cocaine. No matter how many times did not repeat the experiment, a rat is almost always chose the "drug" water. It was not until as long as she did not die from it. Thus, scientists have concluded that the animals developed strong dependence on chemicals. However, in their opinion, it is with the man.



However, in the 1970s, psychology professor Bruce Alexander suggested that the experiment has not been thought through to the end and did not show real results, because the rats were placed in a solitary cell. While people rarely take drugs alone. Therefore, he proposed the creation of so-called "Rat Park" with a lot of cells, a plate of food, tunnels, multi-colored balls to most accurately recreate the model of human society for rodents.

As in the original experiment, cells and bottles were both plain water and with "drug", that is, for all the time with the liquid admixture tried each rat is at least several times. And you know what? Rats do not sit down either cocaine or heroin - they had a rich gay life. After all, in the park so much fun! Within a few days of the experiment the rats figured out that public bottles have drugs, and in which - no, and drank water from the "poisoning" of vessels in only one case out of four! Thus it was possible to confirm the scientific assumptions of Professor: If a living being placed in a favorable environment, it is unlikely to become addicted to drugs.

Another striking example is when someone gets seriously injured or gets into an accident, it is placed in a hospital, where surely credited strong narcotic medications to somehow calm down the pain. If the theory about an instant chemical dependency drugs were true, all the patients after discharge would become addicted. But this does not happen - after the hospital they live normal 'healthy' life, not stagger on gates in search of the next dose. The conclusion is that addiction does not arise from a strong chemical addiction to drugs. Drug addiction - is the result of what a person ... not to anyone else to turn except to heroin. He just is nothing more to do, and what their lives to devote time.



It may seem strange to you, but each of us can help to drug addicts. The main objective: to create a favorable environment for each of these people so that they feel that somebody needs that exist in the world that is better than heroin or any other drug. Only when each of us will reconsider their views depending on the cause, humanity will have a chance to eventually get rid of this problem. Do not disown addicts as if you are not affected. Your good attitude to such people - a success! Share these pictures with your friends - let them, too, will not be indifferent to this issue.
