We all like to go through our lives hoping that everything will be smooth and enjoyable. For the majority of people in society, this is pretty much the way life goes. Obviously there is a lot of lumps and bumps along the way, but the overall journey is a happy one. For some though, they will hit a problem in life that for one reason or another, they just can’t handle.
This starts them on a slippery slope, and in many cases, one they do not even realize that they are on. Before they know it, they are waking up each morning and wondering where they will get there next cocaine fix from.
A lot of people seem to think that substance abuse is a choice that only happens with people lower down the society ladder. The truth is far from that though. Anyone in society can find themselves addicted to drugs like blow, for any number of reasons. For instance, a company manager could have a sudden loss in the family due to a car accident, it may be his wife or child.
This can lead to depression, maybe he starts drinking a lot of alcohol, and he eventually ends up taking cocaine. This is all due to his mental state that he is struggling to cope with, and not personal choice.
Regardless of how someone starts taking cocaine, it is its addictive properties that are a person's downfall. The way that it works physically and mentally on the body means the person always wants more. This leads to substance abuse, and unless they seek professional help, it can be extremely difficult to get on top of, especially if other underlying reasons exist. So remember that the drug addict down the road, may have been just like you in the past.
