What to say to a drug addict???

[targetguy1]

I just cant understand why people cant say no.

Dont take it, and then you wont die/get addicted/become dependant/steal/kill etc.

for some people it a way for them to get accepted by a certain group or to get friends. not everyone is as gifted as you and can make the best out of nothing.

That is right, as I agree with you Target. People turn to drugs for different reasons. That does not make it ok, or condoned. However it does help with the understanding of why??? Drugs has been used as a supplement for such things as mood, or inner strength, to fill voids, to cover shame or guilt. To become numb or hide from life with as well as the being accepted that Target mentioned.

Although it is true that drugs are an altered stated of mind and is not actually helping for what it is being said. Every drug addict still has a "reason." Whatever it may be. Some people start doing drugs because they like the euphoria. Such as that of a pain pill.

Drugs waste and ruins lives and destroys familys. And it is extremely sad to see someone that did not intend to become an addict, as that is never the intention, but nonetheless has become one.

Addiction is a condition that can either or both become a psychological and or physical dependency. Can also be very hard to fix. As the addict has to realize that they are addicted first. That is the toughest part.
