Many People Have Drug Users In Their Family, This Is "It's Simplest Form"

Addiction in It’s Simplest Form (Short Animation)

This short animation created by Andreas Hykade breaks down what drug addiction looks like in its simplest form. It’s remarkably catching and has been creating a buzz around the web.
The bird-like creature is caught up and will not let go of the golden nugget. The golden nugget represents any drug of choice – alcohol, cocaine, opiates, benzo, heroin, and much more. Not only does it represent drugs, but bad habits that can’t be shaken off. Such as gambling addiction, porn addiction, binge eating, and etc.
 The bird’s sole focus is to ride the high created by the mysterious golden nugget. Unfortunately, each fall after launching off into a whole new realm gets bumpier and more aggressive. Even the flight itself is short lived and does not live to its original glory. Sound familiar?

Is ignorance a bliss? Had the bird not tasted the golden nugget in the first place, it would have been on a longer journey to fix its satisfaction. Are we bound to find something else better than addiction? Will the walk be aimless?
These are some of the questions an addict or even a first time substance user experiences. It’s a slippery slope, but it can be avoided with self-restraint and a serious effort to break the trend.
