The Cross & The Culture: Withdrawal | A Tool Of Manipulation
Homeostasis is defined: metabolic equilibrium actively maintained by several complex biological mechanisms that operate via the autonomic nervous system to offset disrupting changes. Though these biological mechanisms are complex, they are very real. Introducing change to this system can and undoubtedly will cause some sense of withdrawal. Many foods, drinks, and substances can trigger such a change.

But, is fear of withdrawal a valid excuse to continue a life of addiction?
