Is alcoholism an example of a purely physical addiction?
Yes, the body can be physically addicted to alcohol. The psychological dependence comes first, then the physical dependence. So you would have to recover from those in the reverse order.

What psychological dependence does LSD produce?
LSD has very little to no chance of producing psychological dependence. Nearly all psychedelics are resistant to psychological dependence due to the nature of the experience (i.e you would be greatly aware of any compulsive or addictive behavior and would stop). LSD has in fact been used to treat other drug dependencies such as alcoholism.
What do you think is more difficult to break physically dependent on a drug or a person psychologically dependent on a drug?
Psychologically dependent. Once you get over the physical symptoms of withdrawal you are fine and you get over the addiction. But if you are psychologically dependent you need some serious counseling and its much harder to break a psychological dependence because we still don't fully understand the mind and how to overcome psychological dependence. In general, I would say anything psychological is more complicated than the physical.
Is it true or false physical dependence to a drug always precedes psychological dependence to a drug?

What is the difference between a physiological addiction and a biological addiction?
Physiological dependence = result of constant use of a drug to the point whereby the body's normal state is the drugged state, i.e. the drug is needed in order to feel normal. Physiological dependence develops with the gradual increase in the body's tolerance to the drug. Tolerance means that more and more of the drug is needed to get the desired effect. Without this increase, the drug user can actually suffer from withdrawal symptoms. Physiological dependence called chemical dependence.Psychological dependence = a drug user's tendency to change his life because of the drug and to centre his/her activities around the drug (acquiring it, using it, experiencing it).
