Right on queue.  Interesting information

Extremely so, 3 Leos. And there is even more science to support what this cat points out. Not the entire story of addiction but a very, very large chunk of it. In fact, in advanced studies on addiction, addicts will often report that their 'best friend' is the bottle, porn, gambling, shopping, cults, their illicit drug of choice ...and so on.

These addictions are often referred to as 'self-medicating.' So, why medicate yourself with destructive habits?' At the core you often find nothing more complicated than loneliness.

I recall on leaving the Navy, supported by many conversations with military mates at the time and since, that one of the biggest issues to deal with was the loss of camaraderie; the loss of mateship and a sense of belonging - a community. And what happens to ex military folks, ex cops, ex AFL footballers...etc? When folks experience going through a great deal with a group of trusted friends a bond is created that is very difficult to replace. It's a depth of relationship that's hard to find when you're no longer a part of something much bigger than yourself.

Isolation is a huge epidemic in the Internet age, people(Typically Millennials onwards) have never been more connected and never before so alone.

A lot of their 'connection' falls more into addiction/neediness category than 'healthy' connection. What is 'healthy' connection? Now there's a great topic.

When my lips touch that first chilly drop of a schooner of Pale Ale in the MCC, surrounded by several hundred new or old near and dear friends, that's about as first class of a healthy connection as it gets! :D

I get people playing these games, and in small doses they are OK, but I know people(adults not kids) who play them 8 hrs a day, it rots the brain!

Read a book, talk to somebody, listen to some music, but stay away from the designed to be addictive software sh1zen, it's A/B tested to fine tune it's cognitive addictiveness, every button press, swipe or tap trains it to be more addictive, it learns what you like and feeds it back to you in a endless loop, and it's killing you!

I thought that Tom Boyd spoke well during the Spud game pre-match. 

I think that many folk wondered what was going on when he pulled the pin on a career that had really only just begun.  I guess it must have been the right decision for him at the time.
