Humans are biologically programmed to seek out pleasurable
experiences. These experiences are processed in the mesolimbic
system, also referred to as the "reward center" of the brain, where
a number of chemical messengers work in concert to provide a net
release of dopamine in the Nucleus Accumbens. In some genetically
predisposed individuals, addiction occurs when the mechanisms of
the mesolimbic system are disrupted by the use of various drugs of
abuse. Since Alcoholics Anonymous was founded in 1935, it's 12 step
program of spiritual and character development has helped countless
alcoholics and drug addicts curb their self-destructive behaviors.
However, the program was developed at a time when comparatively
little was known about the function of the brain and it has never
been studied scientifically. This is the first book to take a
systematic look at the molecular neurobiology associated with each
of the 12 steps and to review the significant body of addiction
research literature that is pertinent to the program.
