Parrotting Hari I see. I like him, but it's more complicated than his series of picture-perfect anecdotes and name-dropped professors in every country he could persuade his publisher to send him to.

Naltrexone has substantially resolved hundreds of thousands of alcohol addiction presentations worldwide. Pharmacological remedies do exist. Connection is important, yes, but it is far from the whole picture. I do like Hari, like I said, but I feel like he is interested in selling himself and his story more than any particular desire to actually help.

Addiction is a disease of loneliness.
