That remotely reminds me of a statement once heard on TV5, the french-speaking int'l TV network. Here's the verbatim quote:
« Vous omettez peut-être un détail sur la drogue: c'est peut-être que les drogués cherchent avant tout l'état d'manque avant de chercher l'état d'satisfaction... »
And this is the Google translated version, for our convenience:
« You may be forgetting a detail about drugs: it may be that drug addicts seek above all the state of withdrawal before seeking the state of satisfaction », Yann Moix, ONPC, 2018-Feb-24

I don't recall how i reacted at the time but i do believe i'd just zap it today.
Now look what i found earlier this morning:
