    The Picture Of Drug Addiction

    When you think of drug addiction, what kind of picture do you obtain in your mind? Do you observe a person dressed in tattered clothes sitting in a rain soaked alley with needle in hand? Do you picture addiction in terms of a person begging on the street for wealth to buy just one more hit? The picture of drug addiction can be either of these images, but you might surprised to learn that there is another side of drug addiction you may never have cosidered of.

    Consider that the picture of drug addiction includes a man in a business suit sitting at a desk daily working a full-time job. He has a family, children, a dog, and a wife. To everyone else, he projects the picture of having it all. The only problem is, the pressure of life got to him and he looked for a technique out. A colleague offered him some cocaine. He liked the technique it made him feel. Now he juggles credit card advances to pay for his $100 a day habit.

    The picture of drug addiction could also be the in favor cheerleader at your child's high school. She's blonde, beautiful, smart, and personable. But every morning, she takes a shot of vodka to stop the shakes. At lunch, she beverages a six-pack in her car, and at night, she's at all the parties drinking until someone has to bring her home because she's passed out.

    Finally, the picture of drug addiction could also be in the form of a bored housewife. She has three children, laundry, dishes, and a lot other responsibilities. She's exhausted all the time and sometimes just can't obtain out of bed because of her exhaustion. She saw something on television about housewives taking their child's Ritalin for energy. She decides to try it with her own 7-year old's medication. Now she has to make excuses to the pediatrician why her child has sprint out of medicine before he should have.

    Sure, we all picture a person with drug addiction as the homeless, down-on-their luck bum (so to speak) begging on the streets for wealth to buy drugs, but the cold reality is that drug addiction springs up in all walks of life to all types of people. Drug addiction has no boundaries and doesn't pick and select its victims.

    The picture of drug addiction has changed over the years to include your neighbor, your child's teacher, and even possibly your clergy. No one is immune, but all can obtain help. If you notice drug addiction in someone you care about, have a talk with them and encourage them to get aid for their problem. Maybe one day, the picture of drug addiction would be a blank canvas.
