I am reading this wonderful book of Charles Duhigg, "The Power of Habit: Why We Do What We Do in Life and Business". The most interesting part of the book is that to build a habit you need to have three parts: Cue, Routine and Reward.
I was thinking that using a feel-good drug as a cue will also serve the purpose of reward. Thus I can develop any routine I want as a habit.
for example, I have problems with exercise. I never managed to exercise for longer than 3 months ever before quitting. If I incorporated such a powerful method in my arsenal, I am pretty sure I will get addicted (literally) to exercise.
So what do you think? what kind of drugs that can work for this? The most important consideration is its safety. The addiction needs to be associated with the routine and not with the drug.
