ALBERTON – Instant gratification, a sense of power, a feeling of peace and tranquillity: these are some of the feelings that are promised by those who offer you drugs.
This sounds ideal, a quick escape from your troubles, but what dealers or other users might not tell you is that you do not have control over your response to drugs.
The more you enjoy a drug the better are your chances of becoming addicted. Enjoyment will also lead to experiment with other drugs.
The problems you are trying to escape from will still be there when the drugs wear off. You will still be faced with your reality after your high.
You cannot control the way your body responds to a drug. Dealers will also not be upfront about everything that a drug might contain.
Drugs let you lose control. This might sound inviting, but this also means you will lose the ability to do certain things, like driving your car. This loss of control also makes you more vulnerable.
When something sounds too good to be true it usually is.
