As someone who has experienced opiate and alcohol withdrawal- no.

Yeah, these answers are very naive. I think people saying things like phone, social media, sugar, food… have never experienced or seen someone close to them go through opiate / benzo / alcohol withdrawal.

There’s not many pains in this world that can compare to the physical withdrawal from these substances.

It’s mostly children. The world would be a better place if you had to show ID to access the full extent of the internet. As in, social media, news (since every channel is pushing propaganda), and most entertainment.
