Drug
Abuse
Drugs are basically
used as a way to escape from reality. The more somebody uses drugs in this
way the deeper into trouble they get. Some people can use drugs
recreationally and never become dependant like say at a party every now and
again but many people end up needing them more and more when they feel down.
The need to escape from reality becomes more and necessary as their reality
becomes harder to deal with due to the symptoms of drug abuse. In the
beginning it seems quite innocent but more and more a person becomes more
dependant on the new feelings the drugs produce.
After a while the
once great high becomes less great so the person takes more to try to
recreate the old effects. Obviously every drug is different in its effects
on a persons life. Soft drugs like cannabis although acceptable in some
countries can have a damaging effect on some users where paranoia can set it
and a general apathy to ambition can become the new state of mind. Drug
abuse including heroin and crack cocaine use is another escape from reality
start off point that quickly turns into a nightmare for the user and for
those associated with the user. When a person is addicted to these
hard drugs their reality really does become a nightmare as the only
important thing in life changes to drugs.
For the user or
addict ponder this. Why do you need to escape from reality? What is so
bad in your life that you need to escape it? Do you feel imprisoned by your
own mind and you need to escape for a while? If so there are other ways to
do just that without the damaging effects of drug abuse. We all feel at
times like we need to escape but there are various safer methods to do that.
Some people meditate, some people go fishing and some people learn thought
re-training. Thought re-training is a very effective tool for preventing the
stress build up in the first place. By learning how to control your thoughts
the need to escape reality diminishes. Your reality is whatever you think it
is. As we all know there is no happy ending with drug abuse, as you never
see an old junkie. But with thought re-training you can gain control of your
mind again and give yourself the best chance of beating the habit.
Thought re-training
as explained in The Principles of Life book is an easy technique to learn
and once learned becomes an automatic process that needs only daily
maintenance for it to work forever. By learning how to control the thoughts
that produce stress there is no need to get away from it all with drug
abuse. If any of this stuff applies to you or you can relate to it I am here
to tell you that all is not lost. You can break free from the negative cycle
of drug abuse you just need to believe you can do it. I have helped many
people break free from their destructive habits so can you.
The first step is to
decide if the state of affairs you are in is the way you see your life in
the future. If it is not you have to make a decision about your life. A
decision to do what ever it takes to urn your life around. As I write now
people all over the world are becoming drug free and creating a life for
themselves without the need for drugs. They are doing it so can you; you are
stronger than you think. You can do it.
The thought
re-training system and other inspirational reading can be found in The
Principles of Life book available on this site.
