Nowadays, drugs and alcohol have been in the top sources of
causing deaths in the United States. Addiction has become a problem within our
society and it has been taken in very little consideration on the danger the
body goes through when inhibiting dangerous substances that affect the
brain. It can be caused genetically or
as a long time user, either way, both causes do not change the damage the brain
goes through when enough is never enough from the users.
Many
have tried to beat their addictions by attending groups, rehab clinics, or by
the help of family members and friends, but it is a long journey to complete
when it can become so easily to fall back to their addiction. Since the brain has been “rewired” for a new
substance to bring pleasure to the body, it could easily rephrase the signals
to re-like the substance again, and it causes the downfall for people to fall
again. Addiction changes a person to a
whole new being. It becomes complicated
for them to be the person they were before.
It is
so easy to fall into addictions, when there is depression, stress, or outcomes
in life do not go their way, but who doesn’t go through those things. It is part of life and if people found that
as an excuse, I believe everybody in this world would be addicted to such other
substances. To be able to overcome such
addictions, it is in the person’s personal will and best choice to avoid such
things, since we all know and are fully conscious of the dangers our health and
body go through with these substances, we should be able to overcome unnecessary
desires.
People who are recovery addicts or addicts do change completely from the sobering person they used to be. The scary thing is that our society isn't only addicted to illegal drugs but prescribed medications. I agree in order for rehab and counseling to be victorious over addiction a person must commit with their own will power! It is a long and difficult journey but can be accomplished.
