PSYCHOLOGICAL LANDSCAPES
https://www.recoveryconnection.com/cycle-addiction/ http://www.aipc.net.au/articles/the-five-stages-of-addiction/ https://www.helpguide.org/harvard/how-addiction-hijacks-the-brain.htm Although I have first-hand experience with substance abuse that I intend to use as inspiration when writing Cycle, I also conducted research into the psychological effects of drug addiction and the cycle of addiction that inspired the name of my film. Taking the information in the above diagram and article as a basic outline for my protagonist’s character arc, Rob is very much on the cusp of full blown addiction, driven by the need to feed his cocaine addiction as the expense of destroying the friendship he has built up with Amy. This is characteristic behaviour for an addict, the focus of their addiction being relentlessly single minded in the pursuit of their next hit.
