It's not to do with feeling good, you do the correct thing because it's correct, it's an intellectual decision sacrificing your current interest to serve the intellectual priority.

And where do you think the personal assessment of the value of that "correct thing" comes from?

Let me know when you prove that cocaine directly triggers motor nerves and intelligently directs you to more drugs outside of your control.

You've never done anything with your motor neurons that didn't yield a dopamine release at some point down the line. The reward circuit is where all motivation comes from. Depressing it such that higher doses of drugs are the only thing that can trigger it means that drugs are the only thing there's going to be any motivation for.

Nah, from the morphine doing nothing and the hospital not upping the dosage further as they determined I was resistant.

That's an opiate resistance, not a resistance to addiction. Those are two very different things, even if it does make it significantly more likely that you won't abuse and become addicted to opiates (since they don't do anything for you).

To be fair, these are the same people that changed a mental illness in to a physical one to appease public opinion

Because it's generally treated physically instead of mentally, perhaps? That just plain makes sense.

Says the guy who wants to shut me down because he doesn't like my opinion.

If you actually read what he's saying, it's less because he doesn't like your opinion, and more because you're being very stubbornly ignorant and refusing to accept that you're wrong in the face of ample solid counterarguments. Most people with self-awareness accept that that's a good reason to stop talking.
