You don’t know when and how you got fixed!
A number of adolescents and young adults have the need to experiment in their teen years. This simple curiosity to know can in effect lead to life altering consequences sometimes irremediable too. It not only affects you but also the lives of those around you. It severely impairs your ability to work and perform in daily life.
Drugs addiction may include an addiction to marijuana, hashish, prescription drugs, cocaine and many others. Of all these, cocaine is known to be the most popular, most addictive and most powerful drug in the world.
Even one time consumption can lead to addiction.
It is a myth that drugs can become addictive only after a period of time. Even one time consumption can lead to addiction. Every body and mind reacts differently to different type of drug. The amount consumed can also be a deciding factor. Drug overdose can lead to instant death.
You know you are addicted when the desire for the drug is the overriding obsession in your life. You may have started out to experiment or as a temporary relief to your problems. But it may cause you twice the problems and never solve the original ones.
You know you are addicted when you experience extreme withdrawal symptoms upon not getting that much needed dose. Your priorities move from relationship, school or job to getting that one fix. Gradually you develop a tolerance for the amount you are having now and increase you dose. Before you know it the frequency has also increased. Now drugs move form being a way of life to life itself.
There have been instances where a person gets addicted to ointments as well. for example a person was known to spread iodex, a pain relieving ointment on piece of bread and eat it. In parts of the world where marijuana and other trees grow, it is available freely unsuspected to all.
If you think you are becoming an addict and wish to quit, talk to someone immediately. Avoid going to places and hanging around people who are doing it so as to avoid temptation. Avoid being misled by people who say careful doses do not harm. Seek professional help if necessary.
