Welcome back to another episode of the Adam and Dr. Drew Show Classics.

Kicking it off for today, we have episode 213, released February 15th, 2015, titled The

Motivation of Addiction.

Adam and Dr. Drew start things off speaking about what motivates addiction, and they listen

to clips of Johann Hari explaining points from his TED Talk, everything you think you know

about addiction is wrong.

Well, I had something that I saw on a Bill Marcio real-time that had to do with addiction

that I thought was very interesting.

And of course, my first impulse was to think about you and how you would react to this information

because it's a sort of a thing where I'll play the clip in a second, but it was information

that in one way I thought, ooh, Drew's not going to like this just because he doesn't

like people talking about addiction other than he.

On the other hand, it sure made a lot of sense and just a very visceral, basic level like

you just sort of went, oh, yeah, I guess that doesn't make sense.

I guess there was a huffing a post article about relationships and addiction and disconnected.

Was it anything related?

Yeah, it had to do.

And it kind of, it was a part and parcel of something that I've always just kind of said,

which is, you know, if people don't have a community and they don't have a reason to wake

up in the morning and so on and so forth, they quickly find themselves with a bunch of

diseases that don't let them get out of bed.

Yeah.
