Drug addiction perhaps is the worst thing a person could do to his life. It does not only ruin his physical appearance, his psychological, emotional, financial and social well being. And the sad part here is that drug abuse and addiction does not classify, it affects men, women and children of all ages, races, cultures and socio-economic strata.

The trail to drug addiction begins with that first act of taking drugs the next thing you know your addicted to it! Over time, a person may need more of the drug to get the same effect. Drug seeking becomes compulsive, in large part as a result of the effects of prolonged drug use on brain functioning and, thus, on behaviour. Drug addiction makes drug use a compelling need, not a casual choice.

For the past years drug addicts were labelled as flawed people with weak moral characters who withdraw from life’s difficulties and pressures by getting high and disappearing into their own psychedelic worlds as an author said. But I would have to disapprove that drug addicts should be regarded as like that…I knew a lot of drug addicted people out there. Discrimination is not what they needed …help is what they really need in situations like that. (more…)

It is almost impossible for a drug addicted person to get back to normalcy, once he gets deeply addicted to any kind of lethal drugs. In this fast and tough competition in our society, people get stressed and tired, they always need something that can give them some relief from this daily stress in job and other problems. The only way of relief that comes to their mind at those moments is having some kind of painkillers or stress relievers. These medicines act as a friend in need at those times to reduce anxiety and stress. During providing their help to the people, the painkillers and other such medicines start harming the person slowly. These painkillers act as a person’s best friend on one side, and on the other side it acts as the worst enemy. When a person takes painkiller for quite a long time, he gets physically and mentally dependant which gradually results to addiction. (more…)
