I used to work with people who were addicts and recovering addicts – I worked in a mental health environment for over 5 years, but only lasted doing drug work for a few months because I couldn’t take the stories. Yet I was more than comfortable with mental health patients.
In my experience a lot of people who end up addicted to drugs are self medicating… it’s not a choice of ‘trying it’ for a lot of people. It’s an internal (and sometimes external) torture that people cannot cope with. They do not know how to sort their own problems or how to cope with their own pain… they turn to substances which numb them, or make them forget the pain they are suffering.
From our standpoint it is easy to say, simply saying no is the best option, and liken it to any indulgence or temptation… but for the most part the people who end up addicted to substances, are those people who don’t see a point in saying no. They’ve reached the end of the line and will try anything to make them feel better. Yes we can say they should have sought medical intervention earlier, but a lot of people are disenfranchised with the system and wouldn’t admit to main stream help.
I don’t under any circumstances advocate drug use, and am anti it (Yes I drink alcohol and coffee – I am referring only to illegal drugs) but think that it is not as simple as just say no.
I feel for anyone who has to go through the effects of addiction first hand.
I want my life to be like legally blonde…. I fear it’s unlikely! lol
Pasty you are officially a legend – I feel it should be said ;) haha.
Stef…. very insightful!! Are you high :p hehehehe
