Addicts get so used to the positive feelings induced by the drug that
they get strong depressions when sober.


But that is their choice, not an effect of the drug. It's part of the
addictive personality.

There's no choice, addicts are not in control. There was a point in
time when they lost control, but that was in the past and they didn't
know it then. A person who can at will stop using the drug is not an
addict by definition.


The first step in overcoming addiction is reasserting control. Addicts who
claim that they have no control over their addictions remain addicts for life
(often a short life).

Not to mention it is exactly opposite the 12 step programs where you MUST
admit that you have no control and turn yourself over to a "Higher Power."

Why is a published report needed?

Because only someone with the IQ of a salamander would take your word for
anything.
