I felt sorry for them, especially since 70%+ will never fully recover and live clean again. Addiction = equivalent of death. So to sum up: Try Drugs = Get Addicted = Throw your life away = Death. That is my take on it. |
Well, generally I agree with you. I count alcohol as one of those drugs and the majority of people "try it". Only a small percentage of all the people who drink become alcoholics.
The majority of people will become physically dependent on opiates very quickly. I've seen people become pill-poppers after an accident or surgery. In that case "trying" the drug is something that's prescribed by a doctor. Benzodiazepines (Valium, Klonopin, Xanax) are prescribed for a variety of reasons and are highly addictive.
