Why do people take drugs?
People take drugs because they want to change something about their lives. Here are some of the reasons young people have given for taking drugs:
• To fit in
• To escape or relax
• They are bored
• It makes them seem grown up
• To rebel
• To experiment
They think drugs are a solution. But eventually, the drugs become the problem.
Terrifying as the consequences of drug use are, and as hopeless as they can seem to the addict, there are solutions to the drug problem.
Just growing up and living in the modern world can be emotionally draining. But talking problems over with a friend or a minister or trusted family member can work wonders. Simply taking a long walk to look at the objects in one’s environment until one is able to focus one’s attention outward and feels relaxed will also help.
And for the person you may know who has a drug problem, there are solutions that work. Narconon, a drug rehabilitation program that utilizes the methods of L. Ron Hubbard has one of the highest success rates of any such program. As hundreds of thousands will attest, those addicted can free themselves of this tyranny and face life with renewed vigor and hope.
The real answer, however, is not to take drugs in the first place. Difficult as it may be to face one’s problems, the consequences of drug use are always worse than the problem one is trying to solve with them, since drugs rob life of the sensations and joys that are the only reasons for living anyhow.
