It is very common for people to do things in their sleep that they do repeatedly during the day, clearly our 'friend' enjoys eating every so often, perhaps she was re-enacting?

do we agree?

Isn't life itself an addiction to thoughts and feelings as they are written on the brain so to speak by our parents, society, religion and the limits of the brain perception itself?

Is not life a vast river of the infinite universe flooding us with information and our attempt to make sense of it and to survive an addiction so to speak, a repetitions cycle of reactions and choices to external stimulu and subconcious dialogue?

Alcohol, tobacco, meth, caffiene

Meth is in that group? I've only known two people addicted to meth. I've known four times as many heroin addicts

Lotbot, I don't agree fully. If we are speaking from a medical point of view, that sort of addiction isn't a derailment from 'normal function', nor is it an activity that has a dynamic derivation of a pleasurable outcome.

It's part and parcel of our nature to make decisions, to think about the nature of things or to comprehend different scenario's. However, addiction to the world in the sense of materialistic goods, it makes sense. Or the love of this life. With my limited understanding, the concept of life can't be treated as a separate entity from source by which it resides in?

Read Al-Ghazali's incoherence of the philosophers, its mind blowing. He talks about this in depth.

Perhaps, you could teach me more concerning this??

Trysts, I'm unsure. Globally speaking, I know meth is very popular, in the US according to WHO, there were more heroin takers than meth in 2008, 2010 and 2012. *shrugs*

trysts

Meth is easier to see than heroin. You could be around people without knowing they're on heroin, but people on meth can't hide it.

kiwi-inactive

~30 million abusers of Meth, ~14 million people taking heroin globally speaking, according to the BNF, but my copy of the national survey on drug use nd health is quite old, its 2012/

Wow, that's surprising to me, double the users. Thanks:)

And if you read under international statistics, opiate related admissions to emergency services in the UK are ~7%, in the US they are about ~18% (2012). That's a lot !

trysts

It is. A lot of painkillers have opiates, so I guess it's understandable considering how big the pharmaceutical industry is
