Drugs are Absolutely Habit Forming

I’ve been writing about incorrect, untrue and distorted data that people have about drugs. The one I’m going to talk about today is the mistaken idea that some people operate off of “that most drugs are not habit forming.”

It would be far more correct to say that all drugs are habit forming. I don’t know if that is true but if it’s not it is not that far from the mark. Even one of the more somewhat harmless drugs like caffeine is still very habit forming. I’ve known of many individuals who have attempted to quit coffee and they get withdrawal headaches to name one of the more common http://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gifsymptoms. Or how about the coffee drinkers who can’t get started in the morning until they have had their first cup.

But I am not here to talk about the dangers of caffeine. Here is the way it is. When a person takes a drug and then it starts to wear off that person will want more of that drug, more precisely his body will crave it.

When that occurs, say the person took a pain pill to numb a pain, then when the drug wears off, the pain not only comes back but way stronger than before.

If someone had a situation that made him want to take drugs like feeling anxious around people he may take the drug to loosen up. When the drug wears off the feeling of nervousness comes back even worse than before and he wants MORE of the drug to calm himself.

Here is another very real thing that can happen to a person even if they have quit drugs years before. Let’s say, as an example, that a guy used to be a fairly frequent user of cocaine. He has somehow kicked the habit on his own out of sheer will power. Then one day he sees some of his friends playing a game of basketball and he joins in. He works up a great perspiration and feels great. But, however, drugs that the body was not able to metabolize when they were taken (because they were extreme, for example) get stored in the cells. Sweating helps to release them from the cells and they move back into the blood stream. Suddenly the guy starts to feel a little bit high and as it is wearing off he begins to crave the drug again and before you know it he is back taking cocaine on a regular basis again.

It is an all too real example of why people frequently go back to drugs http://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gifevehttp://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gifn after seeming to have kicked the habit. It also is very strong proof that drugs are definitely habit forming.
