The Mental and Physical Effects of Drugs

Drugs tend to regress people. That is to say they tend to throw them out of present time and into the past. They can actually stick the person in instances of his past experiences to some slight degree, typically past experiences with drugs, alcohol or medicines.

Since drugs are often taken to lessen a pain or emotional upset or something of the sort, if you are stuck in that pain or upset to some degree you are going to be dramatizing it in your life to that degree. This is not a good way to live. Now let’s say you are a weekend drug or alcohol user. You are stacking these incidents upon incidents in your mind in addition to escalating the hardship physiologically on your body. Very soon you begin taking the drug not only on weekends but at times throughout the week. This increases more and more and before you know it you are an addict.

This is a reason many people won’t admit to being a drug addict because it happens gradually. At times it is a steep gradient, but a gradient nonetheless. They did not just wake up someday and they were an addict, it took place gradually over a period of time.

When a person is out of present time he would seem to be there, but he rhttp://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gifeally isn’t managing fully in present time. Right before your eyes he is apparently in the same room as you, doing the same things you are doing, but he is really only somewhat there and somewhat in some past event.

This is why drug users seem to be so slow and make frequent mistakes. They frequently drop out of communication with individuals for days at a time, which will all tend to very irritating to someone who is not in that condition.

Drug not only affect the body, which they obviously do, but they significantly affect the mind as well.

When people do an successful drug detox they will often speak of no longer living in a cloud. This is not only a physical manifestation but also a mental one. A good drug rehab can revive a person and give them back the life they once had, long before drugs, when life was good and fun. People enjoyed being with them and vice versa. It can be that way again, but the drug addict needs to recognize it and want to change. If he has hope that it can be fixed he will do it.
