> Amphetamine and marijuana also helped me. Addiction psychologist Stanton Peele asserts in _Love and Addiction_ (1975) that a drug withdrawl syndrome is actually a physical expression of a severe emotional longing for the drug. This is the only coherent explanation I've ever heard of why so many drugs could alleviate withdrawl symptoms of, well, so many other drugs.
Hello , this next statement is by no means supposed to be directed at you nor is it meant in malice , But in my opinion I think Stanton Peele is an ASS ..
His understanding of addiction is box like ... and his arrogance will keep him from ever reaching outside his box like "thinking "...
Last time I read his web site , which was about a year ago .. and this was my take on many of his views ..
