Because drugs blunt the nervous system they are a temporary solution to getting rid of undesirable feelings like sadness, boredom or fear. At times, such as in an tragedy or when there has been an car accident, drugs are necessary so an operation can be performed. Drugs are used to shut down pain and other unwanted feelings. But there are a whole other group of wanted feelings and drugs block off ALL feelings, the ones you want included, like joy, happiness and creativity to name a some.
For the drug addict, sooner or later, anyhttp://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gif kind of fhttp://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gifeeling becomes more difficult to experience. That includes sexual feelings too. In the beginning when a person takes drugs they can act as a sexual stimulant, but as a person takes more and more of the drug they become a depressant and he or she no longer receives pleasure from sex and if you are a man you‘re not even able to have sex.
As the drug use goes on the user feels less alive in all ways, unfeeling actually, and he may behave as if he doesn’t care about anything or anyone around him, this includes himself. This is why it is so exasperating to the friends and family of a drug abusers. They can’t understand why he will not even do anything to help himself but the fact is he has a difficult time thinking at all so he is not really capable at that point of doing much of anything.
Before long, drugs will make a person less aware of what is going on around him. He will come to be slower, not as quick to react, or move or think. So he gets into accidents and other dangerous situations more easily when he has used drugs.
Frequently a person isn’t aware of this change in himself, even though other people may observe it and try to point it out to him. This is why it is frustrating to those around him because his situation is very obvious to them, but he is so shut off to the world around him he is not aware of it, at least not at first.
After a while the user will hit what looks like bottom and then he will hit a few more lower points that he would have never thought possible. This is when he becomes available to help, when he himself becomes aware that he needs it.
Even though by this time most of the loved ones around him are so frustrhttp://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gifated with him and may no longer care, this is when they need to get the drug abuser into a very effective drug rehab facility.
