O vício não é o que você pensa… 🧠💔

In a famous experiment, rats were given a bottle of pure water or a bottle of water mixed with drugs such as heroin or cocaine. Alone in a cage, they almost always chose the drug and overdosed. Then the "Rat Park" experiment introduced a new environment with friends, toys, tunnels, cheese, and connection. The rats stopped drinking the drug‑laden water and the overdose rate dropped from nearly 100% to 0%. This suggests that addiction may not be about the drug itself but about the environment and the lack of connection. The opposite of addiction is not sobriety but connection.
