Can someones only drug problem be everyone else has a problem because they use drugs?

Question

Is it possible that some people dont have a problem and aren't addicted that use drugs. and if their are how do they know it's not a problem for them. why are they different then addicted people and how do they know if they still use that they can stop when ever

Answer 1

it is just like an alcoholic if you take 3 people and on the same night they go out and drink for the first time they drink 2 and one of them will start to feel light headed maybe even woozy and a little sick so he will stop at 2 the other 2 guys drink another and at the end of that one one guy will start to feel it also so he will stop drinking at 3 but the last guy he doesnt get that feeling all he feels is what is called the WOW experience he loves it the way he feels.. the reason is this his liver doesnt work the same way as the other 2 so he is going to be the alcoholic / drug abuser ect of the group.. and it is nothing he did any different they dont set out to say hey im going to be a drunk/ drugie they really have no control over this.. it is a disease and it is also passed down through genes. my husband is an alcoholic so my son is already 90% likely that if he starts to drink he will become an alcoholic.. and sadly most alcoholics after awhile will turn to another drug because the it will get harder for them to reach that WOW feeling as time goes on. i only explained this in short for on here you need to go talk to someone who is a counceler for adictecd people and ask them to explain this better to you they can tell you what the effects are and how exactly the liver doesnt work rite... DONT let anyone tell you that it is a choice that people have to become addicted or not the only time they have a choice is before they take that first drink / drug after that it takes control..and 90% of people try alcohol at one time in there lives and about 70% will try drugs.

night prowler you need to get your fact straight before you post something like that people who are addicted to drug/alcohol have no choice in the matter it is a disease they have no control over once they start to use. i dont think any one person who has lost there family ,jobs, ect have just said oh well to hell with it i like the pary more... think about it...

Answer 2

There are lots of functioning addicts, here's the test. Put it down and never pick it back up, and you aren't an addict. If you find yourself reaching for whatever before the end of the day, when you get stressed, or when you want to block out things, then you need to face reality. But getting rid of an addiction has to be a personal decision, tell those people who have a problem with your addiction that you can't force change on another person, and that if they don't want to see you using then look away.

Answer 3

I have known many people in my life who claim to not have a problem or addiction to a drug. But they are only lying to themselves. They can't honestly take care of children, their money goes for whatever drug of choice instead of what the children or spouse needs, this can lead to the spouse having to deal with the raising and supporting of the child, if not the welfare system, or even parents. Most have never tried to stop, and if they did, they slip, and most don't want to stop and will even admit to that. And think of all the money they spend for their drug habit.... Most people who do drugs hang around with that type of people as well, they are there when there are drugs, but are gone when the drugs are all gone.

Answer 4

Some people enjoy the use of drugs, and refuse to come to terms that they're addicted. Others know that they're addicted, and just don't care. Other people just do drugs every now and then and aren't addicted.....yet. Drug addictions can tear family and friends apart, especially when the addict has to resort to stealing to fund the drug habit.

Answer 5

People who use any type of stimulant, whether drug or alcohol, and claim they party or use it as an excuse to unwind do have a problem. I don't use drugs and I have partied many times and had a great time and guess what? I remember what I did and I was answerable to my actions, I didn't have to blame it on being stoned and not knowing what happened or it didn't cost me my whole paycheck to have a good time, nor did I sit in a corner stoned out of my mind and all my friends laughing at me because I drooled down the side of my face. I never woke up in a strange house, bed or car disoriented as to how I got there and why. Yes, I drink, but I don't get obnoxious and loud and want to fight everybody in the room and the next day apologize to everyone for my rudeness. It's every bodies problem when we, as society, let the druggies and alcohol abusers in our mists. If more people would just ask them to leave their group or ignore them altogether they would soon see they do have a problem being outcasts in normal social functions and straighten their lives up. Too many of my ex-friends turned to drugs to fit in and today are either struggling to make ends meet or have used every one they know for money to buy their drugs and now no one wants around them. Every body is your friend when you have drugs...but when your out no one wants you around to share theirs (I've heard this same story from so many). Yes, drugs are a problem for us all from the first hit you take.

Answer 6

i'm sorry you're dealing with this. Letting the guy hit all-time low might ultimately leave the full relatives coronary heart broken, their property stolen and an entire loss of believe for the addict. (i've got been there regrettably, my relatives member had a drug situation.) There ought to surely be an intervention as EARLY as achieveable and the guy needs to pass by using counseling and medical care. My relatives denied he had a situation and then it replaced into incredibly too late and none of that medical care worked for him. He did no longer opt for to help himself, and because you may leave rehab centers, it incredibly is a distinctive situation. It does not artwork for all and sundry even though it does for many, particularly with early intervention. good luck to you.

Answer 7

some people just dont let drugs run their life..people who get addicted to things are weak minded and have no will power and need excuses...partying is ok, but you have to have your priority's their are things in life we have to do and things we want to do..you have to balance that
