How to Stop Using Drugs
One of the big lies that drug addicts tell themselves, other than that they’re not really addicts, is that they can stop using drugs any time they want to. They underestimate the influence that drugs have on them. Here are a few reasons why trying to quit on your own is seldom successful:
- Drug use alters your brain chemistry to make you crave more of the substance
- Stress can trigger a relapse, and further drug use
- Environmental factors, such as certain locations, sights, or smells can remind the addict of prior use and make him or her vulnerable to using again
