Addiction to drugs and or alcohol has a specific cycle of action that produces an addict.
You might be asking yourself if the person your concerned about really addicted? Or am I really an addict, Im I addicted?
There are different factors to determine if you or the person has an "Addiction" or is a “social user.”
Addiction is being abnormally dependent on something that is psychologically or physically habit-forming.
If a person needs Alcohol or Drugs to deal with everyday living there is an issue. If a person needs a substance to enjoy life, have fun ( the only way I know how to have fun is using drugs as entertainment), to communicate (people use cocaine to be more social), to sleep ( sleeping pills or a substance that makes them sleepy), relax ( I need two smoke weed to relax after work to unwind, I like having two beers to relax). If you can relate to one of these or know someone that is like the above mentioned, then addiction is what it is.
The above were a few signs of Addiction. How do you draw the line between needing treatment or not.
When a person has a problem, how do you or the person deal with it. If the first solution is a mind alternating substance, then that is the biggest problem of them all and treatment is a must. Let’s go more in detail with this. Example a person comes across a problem and has to deal with it, but finds he has a very difficult time to handle it. The problem can be with his parents, girlfriend, school, friends, wife, kids, his job etc. Or a physical problem. The main piece of information here is realizing the person or yourself does not have a healthy alternative when choosing a solution to handle problems. The person becomes overwhelmed by the issue in life and drugs and or alcohol becomes the solution for this overwhelm.
As the person is going through an issue in life, he is introduced to drugs. He feels an instant release from life. At that moment the person will become addicted or not. Hence the cycle of addiction to that release begins. Drugs and or Alcohol become the number one solution to any problems that arise in life and eventually this method being extremely habit forming you or the person forgets that there are other solutions and then its to late, you or the person is an addict.
Let's review a example many of us have seen pertaining to what was just mentioned above. Josh is 20 years old, very shy, and is longing for a girlfriend, but communication is a problem for him. The lack confidence in starting a conversation with a girl or anyone in that matter is a major problem for Josh do overcome. Now we all know someone or seen an similar example of this in your environment. Okay so Josh gets told by someone “hey drink this it will loosen you up” he does, a few beers later he starts talking, feeling confident and asks a girl to dance and so on. Josh has now found the perfect solution to his problem and to top it off he thinks drinking is cool because the so called cool group is doing it, he has more friends but really just a different crowd and now has a girlfriend. So from that day forth every time Josh feels shy, needs to communicate ,have fun, meet girls, has to handle something in life this is his solution. As Josh gets older and gets married a problem arises with his wife and still cannot use proper communication to deal with the problem, Josh get overwhelmed by it and starts to drink and unexpectedly confronts his wife. Josh has just continued to use this solution for his overwhelm. Every time in any aspect of life, he has to confront a situation, Alcohol will be his solution. Eventually substances will bring the judgement spiralling down, therefore creating more problems to handle, more overwhelm. That solution when dealing with an overwhelm in a practical healthy way is what is needed to be learned. I am certain while reading this you have seen this type of example at some point in your life, this is just one example how addiction can start, but most importantly how it works. This applies to any mind alternating substances.
