Which is quicker to resolve? / which is the most difficult/resistant?

[Rosexøxø]

Let’s get to the root/ foundation of this!

Which is easier to break? A year long habit (bad one)

OR

a neurological/ chemical addiction?

I figure the obvious fact of: you need 30 days to break the habit

and potentially replace it with a new one

and

if it’s an addiction, where dopamine is released instantaneously and etc. you’d need to detox the body and get it past the initial withdrawals

That could be a week or two?

But if an addiction were committed for so long it was rewiring the brain, would it take longer to break?

Simply put, yet specifically: who will have the most trouble combatting their issue? The guy who was a drug addict for 4 years, or the lady who had a hard time hanging her keys on the hook, and clothes on the hangers for 4 years?

Which is stronger? Chemical interference in the body? Or a person’s personal/ engrained belief for something?

I gave up alcohol over 20 years ago. I wasn't an alcoholic I wanted to become healthier. I drank a lot and by today's standards I might have been considered a problem drinker. It was not really that difficult to just stop. I used to say that I was a white knuckle drunk.

I have habits that are harder to break. Mostly dark chocolate.

I can see the logic with this. This helps!

I’m proud of you as well! When it it’s a plus one for one of us it’s a plus one for all of us 🤜🤛

to avoid specific cases

I'll simply go with a generalization... and one that is very true as well

with habits, you still have a choice... with addiction, it is no longer your choice because it already took over your persona

I was just about to make a my take and it got deleted, but you said what I had covered.

Perfect answer. Thanks 🤜🤛

The longer the addiction lasts, the harder it is to get rid of it.

That’s a fact if I ever saw one. I would say a component to take into consideration would be their ability to flush out toxins the dna they have and the brain structure a 100%

The brain size/mass etc.

You know similar with the ratios of alcohol in men and women’s systems?

How fast would the drug overtake them or fill their system and that would determine how much they can endure before just a matter of time fully succumbing or should I say just worsening tbh 🤔

That is saddening a bit

But great share!

The effects of many neurochemicals including Dopamine are addictive.

That’s understandable ☝️😌
