SO, people plz dont get addicted 2 drugs.
I've been instructed on this, and addiction IS hereditary. You don't become an addict just because you did a larger quantity of drugs or used drugs when you were stressed, sad, etc. From birth, addicts are predisposed with an "allergy" to drugs/alcohol. Either you have it, or you don't. If you have this "allergy", the body doesn't react to drugs the same way that a non-addict's body would.therefore, causing a craving to CONSTANTLY need drugs.
i hope that helps ! xx
It feels good to get high and they medicate themselves to hide other feelings.. Like they might be depressed so to feel happy they get high. To really hide their feelings they just want to get high instead of seeking help for what they are going through they drown it out and then get addicted to the drugs
Putting drugs or alcohol in your body repetitiously causes your body to rely on it and need it. That's my guess only. I have read that doing anything for 21 days straight forms a habit. Like for example if you exercise for 21 days you will form a habit and feel the NEED to exercise every day, which is actually a good thing. Unfortunately it is much harder to break a chemical dependency.
Many people try drugs. Not all get addicted. Of those who do, it's generally because they've come to realize that they can change their moods with drugs, from one of depression to one of "feeling better" or "feeling normal". As time goes on, drugs cause brain chemistry to change- it causes an imbalance in the neurotransmitters. These neurotransmitters are what control our pleasurable feelings. When they become imbalanced, they no longer function the way they should, and the person is no longer capable of feeling any "natural" pleasure. So they continue to use drugs...because it's the only way they know how to relieve themselves of bad feelings like anxiety, depression, lethargy, moodiness, sadness, anger...and feel "o.k." or good again. Studies show that people who become addicts are people who have unknowingly been self-medicating (by the use of drugs) for clinical depression (most common), and the depression can precede the addiction by about five years. This means the depression came first. The drugs came after. The problem is, once someone becomes an addict, the temporary relief that they get from drugs is just that: temporary. They must keep using in order to feel "normal." Once they stop, the body's initial reaction makes the depression much worse. The good news is, that with abstinence (takes time, sometimes up to a year), the neurotransmitters in the brain are able to re-balance themselves, and the person is able to once again feel pleasure "naturally," instead of through chemicals. It also helps for an addict to get treatment, because they can learn to live without drugs, identify their risks for relapse, learn to cope with life and any existing mental conditions (such as depression) without having to resort back to the use of drugs to do so.
I also think it's important to say that addiction is not the result of weak moral character, or lack of will-power. Addiction is a biological, psychological, social, and often misunderstood disease.
