Is It Possible Not to Have a Physical Addiction to Drugs?
Question by Boy: Is it possible not to have a physical addiction to drugs?
As far as I know, the vasopressin receptor gene could be involved in human drug addiction. If this gene were to be mutated to a point where is does not function as it should, does that mean some people may not be able to become physically addicted to drugs like nicotine or alcohol?

Answer by David
Theoretically, but then you’d have other problems because vasopressin has other functions as well. You’d have a lot of trouble maintaining homeostasis without it, which is partially how drug addiction works: your body has altered its definition of homeostasis to require the drug in question.

How Do You Curb a Shopping Addiction?
Question by jessa.cline: How do you curb a shopping addiction?
I have a shopping addiction. I shop when I’m mad, sad, happy, whatever. I often buy things I don’t need, and never wear them. A year later they are still in my closet with the tags still on them. I get a rush when I shop and it makes me happy- but when I get home I feel guilty about the money wasted and wish I hadn’t done it.
