Using alcohol and drugs to alter the
state of your consciousness is a slippery slop that few can escape without leaving scars within and without.
It may start out as innocent fun but if
engaged in long enough it becomes a habit and you permanently change
the wiring of your brain. This rewiring leads to the destruction of
the things most of us hold dear; health, relationships, finances, jobs, spirituality, and self-respect. Once the brain is wired for addiction,
you put “it” before everyone and everything else and the parts of the brain that have to do with relationships, memory and decision making actually shrink.
You are more at risk for addiction if you have a family history of addiction, suffered abuse, neglect or were traumatized as a child and if you began using at a young age or administered the drug by smoking or injecting.
Having grown up surrounded by the
disease of alcoholism, I can tell you first hand that it leads to
abandonment, betrayal, sexual deviance, relationship crimes,
dependency, spiritual bankruptcy, self-hatred, anxiety and panic,
dishonesty, personality disorders, distortions of reality, divorce,
isolation, shame, and physical disease.
