Drug Addiction: Overcome...

Frank S. Burnman

Addiction and abuse are two things. A person may use a substance such as alcohol, but never be addicted to it. Tolerance and physical dependence are the two determining factors for addiction. Any addiction is highly destructive, both to the person who has the addiction and to those around them. It is difficult to overcome addictions to drugs. However, once the addict actually sees and acknowledges a problem, there are a number of treatment options for both alcohol and drug addiction.
Irrespective of what you can hear or read, alcohol and illegal drugs are addictive. In fact, the younger a person begins to experiment with these things, the more likely they are to become addicted to them later in life. Many times, addictions affect a number of family members. While it's dangerous to try any drugs or alcohol, it's a lot more of a gamble if you know you have close family members who have fought the same thing. What you're supposed to lose in this bet is your personality, your future, maybe even your life.
This book will discuss What Drug Addiction Is, Signs and Symptoms, Change Your Mindset, Motivation To Stay Drug-Free, and keep clear of negative influences.
