STOP DRUG ADDICTION

When I was young, I always wondered why people used drugs even though they knew that drugs were bad for their health. I thought that they used drugs because they gave happiness when people were bored, but I was wrong. There are more reasons behind a person using drugs. Drug abusers may have family problems, peer pressure, untreated physical pain, a family history of addiction and, worst of all, mental illness. I was so sad and shocked when I found out that mental illness could turn a person into a drug abuser. It had already been bad enough for that person to have the fate to have a mental illness. Those poor humans must be influenced by the environment to fall into the trap of drugs. The drugs would make the mental illness become worse. If you are one of the people with empathy, you should combat the problem of drug addiction, only for the sake of them, because they cannot be educated, like sane persons, to know what is good or bad for them. There are three main types of drugs: Socially accepted drugs (e.g. alcohol, caffeine in coffee), Medicinal drugs (e.g. penicillin and aspirin) and Drugs of abuse (depressant drugs, stimulant drugs, hallucinogenic drugs, opiates, inhalants). The worst of the three types are drugs of abuse because they can depress and stimulate the nervous system easily. There are organizations such as CNB (The Central Narcotics Bureau) where they will help you to combat drug abuse (e.g. helping drug abusers acquire useful skills). There are many side-effects of abusing drugs. They are transmission of diseases (e.g. AIDS), committing crimes to get money to buy more drugs, inability to sleep, abnormally slow movements, severe weight loss or gain, etc. Girls may sell their bodies to have the next kick. On the other hand, it can also give someone happiness but only for a while. I am strongly against people using drugs because there are many bad consequences and the happiness you can get is only temporary. Its the same thing as when the electricity passes through the paper clip. The paper clip becomes a temporary magnet while electricity passes but it can never become permanent. A person who has given up the habit must be rehabilitated. Success hinges on an individualized, comprehensive and integrated approach to the healing process. A variety of methods exist to help people in their process of recovery. Some people might recover on their own while others recover through treatment or the assistance of self-help. Here are some tips to stop DRUG ADDICTION: -Be honest with yourself. -Be firm and patient. -Learn to walk away from using drugs. -Eat healthy stuff.

-Seek a support system. -Return to your old healthy habits. -Focus on family and friends. I believe a world population with no drug abusers is the ideal for our future. We should start protecting our young generations from the influence of drugs. If we dont do anything to stop drug addiction now, the world after 100 years will look miserable with many drug users. We can still try to prevent abusing drugs. Its not too late to make a difference and stop drug addiction now. Please help me fight the scourge of drug addiction.
