I know this lead-in was a joke and a funny one at that, but I have been reading an article from Newsweek I would like to share. If you are affected by or interested in addiction this is one of the best articles I've read in awhile.

It talks a lot about what is being studied, what scientists are discovering, the many vaccines being tested.

I have wondered what our world might be without addicts. Would we lower all crime rates, would more children have parents to guide them, would poverty be decreased??

Here's one quote from the article: "The addict's brain is malfunctioning, as surely as the pancreas in someone with diabetes. In both cases, 'lifestyle choices' may be contributing factors, but no one regards that as a reason to withhold insulin from a diabetic."
