Addiction for people that have never gone through just can't understand what it is like, thats no offence to anyone! People that haven't gone through it sometimes think that it's easy, if you really want to then "just go get help" "ring a help line" "see your doctor" and it's no where near as simple as that!
No drug addict, gambler or alcoholic etc enjoy being addicted, nor saw it as there future calling and life plan or look forward to satisfying there addiction everyday. You ask any addict and they will all say the same "It's ruined my life" so if it was that simple to 'just get help and to take that step' there would be no addicts!
I see addiction as a behavioural and mental health problem brought on from either depression, anxiety, stress, getting struck by a bomb at some point in your life and was struggling to cope and needed a release! In all my experience I don't see "pear pressure" or being around it or a ladder where you start smoking a bit of weed as the main causes and I think believing this is the reason why the majority of addicts relapse and find it hard to step forward and get help then stick with it!
You can not treat the symptoms without treating the cause! I'm a canine behaviourist and if I didn't get o the route of the problem then the symptoms in a dogs case thats bad and unwanted behaviour, could no be resolved and corrected!
It's no different with addiction there's always a cause and thats the underline issue of the symptoms which hear is using drugs/ drinking etc.
The whole way addicts/ addiction is currently dealt with needs squashing and a whole new fresh look and the way we treat it needs to be taken!

When do the effects of nurture begin?
Anything that is not a genetic 'construction' is classified as environment, or 'nurture'.This means that once we are conceived with a set of genetics - our 'structure', anything that affects us after this time is environment, including prenatal development. There is a famous case in Holland during the second world war (The Dutch Famine), where prenatal development was undernourished due to a famine, resulting in very high cases of Diabetes and Heart disease during middle age (and some depression, addiction and varied other mental illness).
What happens if a child is suppressed in the oral stage?
