Drug Addiction
A DANGEROUS DEMON-DRUG ADDICTION
A tunnel into the unknown nothingness of darkness. Deep, Eerie, and dark. Fear is the first thing which envelops me as I look into the eyes of a drug addict. Expressionless .Emotionless. That chalklike skin – “like a corpse”. Motionless. My eyes wander back to those eyes and my heartbeat stops at the sight of those savage eyes, suddenly hungry for something….or someone. Groping for something of utter need.
This is the portrait of a drug addict.
Drug addiction is a complex brain disease. It is characterized by compulsive, at times uncontrollable, drug craving, seeking, and use that persist even in the face of extremely negative consequences.
Drug seeking becomes compulsive, in large part as a result of the effects of prolonged drug use on brain functioning and, thus, on behavior. For many people, drug addiction becomes chronic, with relapses possible even after long periods of abstinence. If you use drugs to fill a void in your life, you’re more at risk of crossing the line from casual use to drug abuse and addiction. Some children take to drugs whose parents often quarrel at home. They try to ape the Western youth who have fallen prey to drug addiction.
Recognizing drug addiction in yourself or others is the first step of the cure.
