Please note that this website is currently a work in progress! Lots of interesting data and statistics to come.
Very good lecture on how addiction actually works in the brain.
It's not a moral failing, it's a brain condition that can be very difficult to manage.
Portraying typical addict behavior realistically in fiction can be difficult because of all the tropes and cliches.
This should help.
