#writersCoffeeClub Mar 17: What's a sensation you've struggled to convey to a reader?

Addiction.

It's impossible to fully describe to someone who's never experienced it, but I try to get close. The common mistakes are equating it to a strong desire, or assuming the addict doesn't know or care about the harm.

The real thing feels like needing something, even though you know it'll kill you, and your brain plays tricks on itself to get what [it thinks] it needs.
