Drugs and Addiction

I was just reading an article about the new wave in "anti-addiction" drugs. It just doesn't even sound right to me. Drugs to stop addiction to drugs. Maybe I'm crazy but I think there's still something wrong with exchanging one addiction for another. To me, it says that the person is still sick. Still not well. Still unwhole.

But hey, we live in a society that loves and expects immediate gratification. We love the easy way out. We want something for nothing.

Unfortunately, those things don't bring much gain to our lives. We don't usually grow from them and there don't seem to be any long term rewards to be gained. In my experience, the hardest challenges I've had to conquer were the ones that gave me the most.
