Street Drugs and Alcohol ,is it a temporary medicine to cure our pain?
Question:
Answers:
Alcohol seems as though it's lifting our spirits--at first--but, in fact, it is a depressant--and will only make us worse, and depressed (or more depressed)--additionally, some of us are prone to alcoholism...
The same goes for street drugs (though many are stimulants--just weed and heroin are depressants). They make one feel better--in the beginning--then we are either hooked, or dead.
Yes it is self medicating. We are all trying to feel good. But making bad decisions. I've never had a problem with either but everyone in my family has addictions. Im the only one that dont. Even my daughter was an IV drug user and it has almost devastated me. She turned into someone I didnt know. Stealing, lying, shady deals, ruthlessness. She left all three of her children with me. So here I go again, raising kids. I have a couple of sisters that have an out of control pain pill addiction. My parents were both alcoholics. Its been a long hard journey for me and Im still suffering the effects of other peoples addictions. I wish they would drug test more often & maybe that would get people straight with the knowledge that they will be locked up. I know that Rehab didnt work. Even twice. I dont know if I will ever be out of the shadow of drugs & alcohol, but I have made the choice to do neither & Im gonna stick to that. I hope the same for you & yours.
If something is temporary then it can not and is not a cure for ANYTHING. my best is when I got clean -the worst was when I started
