Life can sometimes get very difficult and hard to take. Different people cope in different ways with the stress that life brings. Regrettably, drugs have become the most prominent coping mechanism that people use to deal with life’s problems.
Drugs can be medical wonders if taken properly. They can cure our pains, aches and illnesses. They can also help us overcome some of our hang-ups and inhibitions. The problem begins when drugs are wrongly used.
The thing about drugs is that it makes you feel good about yourself and the world around you – even for just a little while – and then it traps you into a vicious cycle of craving. You start feeling that you can’t live without the euphoria and ecstasy that drugs give you and that you just can’t cope with life’s problems without the drugs. That’s the onset of abuse and addiction.
This guide is a self-help book for the drug addict and for those who have a love one with some form of substance addiction. You will get information on:
· The effects of methamphetamine, heroin, marijuana, cocaine, alcohol, nicotine, prescription drugs
· How to identify your drug problem
· How to identify the signs in others
· How addiction works
· Treatment options - rehab centers, safe detoxing, working the 12 steps, building your self-esteem
· Intervention, involving the family
· Calming the soul, staying sober
This book is a treatment guide so you can get the help you need to help yourself (or a love one) get clean and sober. We’ll look at the signs of a problem and address the various drugs that are most likely to cause dependence. Then, with the help of experts, we’ll give you some strategies that you can try to get you back on the road to a drug-free life.
