Drugs are the center, the "Essence" of an addicts life!

Your Can Take Your Life Back & Carry Hope With You!

The overwhelming, compulsive, uncontrollable use of drugs is a central factor in the life of an addict. Their need to

satisfy the cravings becomes dominant in all behavior. It does not matter what drug they choose. Nothing will satisfy the overwhelming craving except their "drug-of-choice". Meth users will not settle for heroin. Heroin users will not be

satisfied with marijuana. Crack users have no desire for downers (sedatives, painkillers, etc.). It is not about coming down, fearing dramatic withdrawal symptoms, or anything like that, that produces continued cravings (though an addict will use these to justify and rationalize illegal, immoral things that they do to obtain the drug). In fact, there are few withdrawal symptoms associated with crack and Methamphetamines, two of the most addictive substances known. It is not the physical part that matters. It is truly the psychological aspect of addiction that produces cravings that result in continued use of and progressively, using more and more of the chosen drug. It's actually more like "the drug chose them", for the addict. Free will and the ability to turn away from drugs is no longer an option. An addict cannot do this for their job, health or, sadly, even their mother or husband/wife; not even for their own children. Physical harm, jails and prisons, and often even the possibility of death are just obstacles to be overcome in the insatiable need for, and quest to obtain, the addict's drug-of-choice!

Having lost the ability to choose not to use the drug, the addict's life progressively centers more and more on the drug. Drugs become the reason to get up and get out of bed. Drugs become the excuse not to do things that discourage their use. Drugs are "the pleasure" in the addict's life. Addicts in later stages of addiction will choose that drug-of-choice over the euphoric pleasure of sex! Use of money is prioritized with obtaining drugs as number one. You see, the addict has to have that drug! Unless his craving is appeased nothing can be all right for an addict. When they are compulsively obsessing over the need to satisfy the cravings, few barriers exist. Principles, rules and morality become non-existent. This is the truth regarding the disease of addiction that changes a user into the fiend that addicts eventually become.

How can this be?

I can't imagine anyone being that weak!

Don't they care about anything?

I just can't understand what is wrong with him!

Doesn't she see what is happening to her life?

Addiction is a disease of the brain, resulting in fundamental, long lasting changes!!!
