When I was younger I was always one to try new things, get involved in what my friends were doing and always take risks. The one risk I never took was experimenting with drugs; I was always educated in a good and bad way. I was taught that drugs are bad, people who do drugs are nothing and they will forever be nothing.

Maybe a glass or two of red wine, maybe a marathon of sappy love movies or an entire carton of ice cream. But what if you felt bad all the time? That’s how people with addictions feel; they feel bad all the time so they need something to lean on, something for support, that something could be drugs and/or alcohol. A person with an addiction cannot function unless they are on a good buzz or high. These days, drugs can be found almost anywhere and everywhere, and it may seem like everyone's doing them.

Whatever way drug users put them into their bodies; drugs find their way into your bloodstream and are transported to parts of your body, such as your brain.
