Abstract
Resilience—the ability of socio-ecological systems to withstand and recover from shocks—is a key research and policy focus. Definitions of resilience differ between disciplines, however, and the term remains inadequately operationalized. Resilience is the outcome of variable behavioral decisions, yet the process itself and the strategies behind it have rarely been addressed quantitatively. We present an agent-based model integrating four common risk management strategies, observed in past and present societies. Model outcomes under different environmental regimes, and in relation to key case studies, provide a mapping between the efficacy (success in harm prevention) and efficiency (cost of harm prevention) of different behavioral strategies. This formalization unravels the historical contingency of dynamic socio-natural processes in the context of crises. In discriminating between successful and failed risk management strategies deployed in the past—the emergent outcome of which is resilience—we are better placed to understand and to some degree predict their utility in the contemporary world.
if you have money you can just buy black market methadone or opiates on current dark net . you could plant opium poppies and make laudanum then wean yourself. if it was me i would stockpile and grow the poppies, then be ready to be miserable for a year as you ride the edge of misery until you can quit and renormalize. you can use kratom but its also addictive and no better than just being opiate addict. do all the things, most importantly accelerate your detox as much as you can so you can handle it . save as much of your wafers as you can each dose and use it to taper if they cut you off
