No one ever sets out to become a drug addict. It is something that happens unwittingly on a gradient and very often the addict is one of the last people to realize that he is really addicted.
A frequent reason many younger people become addicted to drugs is peer pressure. They will take a drug or drink alcohol, not because they think the idea of drugs is alluring, but because they think they will be appealing to others if theyhttp://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gif “join in.” What they do not realize is that many of the other people with them ahttp://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gifre doing it for the same or similar motives. All it takes is for one or two people to maintain their integrity and say they do not want to do it and several others will follow. Many times people will be looking for an opportunity to not look stupid for not joining in.
After a person takes the drug they might find that they like the high and also the apparency that they now “belong” with the group. This makes it more enticing to continue taking the drug. They will find that they become closer with their drug using friends, even if their circle of other friends is diminishing. The unfortunate factor is after they continue to use the drug or alcohol for a short while the high isn’t consistently as good as it was the first few times and they have to take or drink more to achieve that same degree of high.
Sex may also play a part. At first most drugs will increase the desire for sex while also reducing inhibitions and make the sex seem much better. That won’t last, because very soon while the person continues to take drugs, their sex drive and ability to perform will diminish.
This is, in fact, another reason someone may take the drugs, to reduce sexual inhibitions. It will be effective at first but as they continue to use drugs for that effect they will begin to lose interest in sex entirely because, among other things, drugs will upset ones hormonal balance. It can diminish your ability to perform and if you are a man that means your ability to achieve an erection.
Soon, if the person keeps on taking drugs, he or she will become addicted and at that stage sex will be of no interest unless it is to obtain money to buy more drugs.
This is when the person will many times need to get into a good drug rehab and reverse the negative effects of their addiction before it is too late.
