The Anatomy of Addiction
Drug addiction can appear to be a very complex problem. The people that are addicted usually have a lot of complex problems, or at least it often feels that way to the individual. The basic reason that people use and get addicted to drugs is because they are running away from some type problem or pain that they are unable to confront and handle. Drugs seem like the perfect solution to them because when someone gets high they usually, at least temporarily, are able to ignore the negative things that are going on around them.
This can turn into a really viscous cycle and the person may not realize it at the time. When a person is using drugs, life is going to keep going on around them whether they like it or not. When a person is distracting themselves from a certain upset or problem by using drugs and taking a time out on life, often there are other problems that are being created while they are doing this.
Once the person comes off of the drug they can often find that there are now a whole new list of problems that need to be handled and the person can then become overwhelmed. At this point the person usually has one of two options. One, they can buckle down, do what they have to do to fix whatever it is that is going on and survive, or two, they can say forget it, I cant deal with it and I don’t want to think about it. I am just going to go get high instead. This basically is the anatomy of drug addiction.
