Drugs destroy your life

People use drugs for many reasons they want to feel good, stop feeling bad, or perform better in school or at work, or they are curious because others are doing it and they want to fit in. This is thereasonwhy they are taking drugs .

Adrugis any chemical you take that affects the way your body works. Alcohol, caffeine, aspirin and nicotine are alldrugs. Adrugmust be able to pass from your body into your brain.

A drug is any substance that, when inhaled, injected, smoked, consumed, absorbed via a patch on the skin, or dissolved under the tongue causes a physiological change in the body.

Drug use can start as a way to escape but it can quickly make your life worse. Besides just not feeling well, different drugs can affect your brain and body in many different ways.

The illegal drugs that people are most likely to try are:
Cannabis.
Cocaine
Amphetamine
Nitrites
Ecstasy.
LSD.
Magic mushrooms.

Drugs excite the parts of the brain that make you feel good. But after you take a drug for a while, the feel-good parts of your brain get used to it. Then you need to take more of the drug to get the same good feeling. Soon, your brain and body must have the drug to just feel normal. You feel sick, awful, anxious, and irritable without the drug. You no longer have the good feelings that you had when you first used the drug. This is true if you use illegal drugs or if you misuse prescription drugs.

Misuse includes taking a drug differently than how your doctor tells you to (taking more or crushing pills to "shoot up" or snort), taking someone else’s prescription, or taking it just to get “high.” Drug addiction is a chronic disease. That means it stays with you for a long time, even if you stop using for a while. It doesn't go away like a cold. A person with an addiction can get treatment, but quitting for good can be very hard.

You haveto relearn how to live without using drugs. You have to work on the problems your drug use caused with your family, your job, your friends, and your money. You haveto stay away from people you used drugs with, and places where you used. You have to learn what makes you want to take drugs again , so you can avoid or work on those things. You may also need treatment for problems that led to your drug use, such as depression, anxiety, or other mental health problems.
