Addiction to drugs and booze can do many things. One is weight loss, kidney or liver damage as well as damage to many other organs, you'll see a change in the persons hair, it becomes dull and limp, you'll see tremors of the hands, the whites of the eyes can be not only blood shot but turn yellow as the organs start to fail. Many slouch in their posture and it becomes fairly permanent. They can develop tics and twitches as nerves are involved with the addiction. The persons mental state continues to Decline as the addiction progresses. Most loose interest in foods or become obsessive about one food groups in the belief that it will help stop some of the damage they are doing to their body.
I certainly hope you are not seeing any of the signs in a loved one or in yourself. If you do please get help for them or you.
Life is to good to let anything have control over you, it has it's up and downs, but after a down you really enjoy the ups.

Complete video at: fora.tv Co-authors Constance Curry and Kristina Wandzilak discuss the struggles with drug and alcohol addiction at the heart of ...

This is Not a question of whether it is or it is not.

Remember the first singe of addiction is DENIAL.

religion in my opinion.

you can choose whether you get caught up in drugs or alcohol,its entirely your choice,but it's pretty much like signing a death warrant.

religion is hypocritical,unfair,manipulating,prejudiced,homophobic and you can be bought into believing it,sometimes some people may preach their religion to you so much it goes into your head,and you follow.

i'd say religion has to be the 2nd or 3rd source of the most deaths in the world.

1.old age
2.disease or religion.
3.disease or religion.

their have been a colossal amount of wars in history (about religion) that have resulted in millions/billions (not quite sure of the figure) of people dying,but then,when you think about it,most religions come across as been loving and kind,but as soon as they might lose power or something like that it somehow disappears from their mind and all they care about is regaining it back, and it wouldn't matter how many lifes it takes.

this is just an opinion,but choose for yourself.
some people find religion as something to hold onto, and they have alot of faith and hope, in a way im jealous of that,sense some atheists don't have that sense of faith or hope and almost nothing to hold onto.
but we find it in other things.

(btw,im only 13,so my grammar/facts may not be entirely right )
but its what i belive.

i am writing a persuasive essay on addiction to drugs.
i cannot think of a GREAT introduction to hook the readers, any ideas??
please help

Here is Alcoholism: (Part/Poem 1 of 2)
"For your own life's sake, do not be an "alcohol user".
Any person that likes likes to drink beer, whiskey et cetera is an "alcoholic boozer"!
Do not be an alcohol abuser.
To be more precise, you should be an "alcohol refuser!"
For drinking alcohol is a "mind and body abuser"!
Addictive drinking is a "mind and body bruiser"!
And then if you have cirrhosis of the liver which is a life-loser!
To people that almost drink liquor,
they will most likely be in their graves, that much quicker!
People, the police or sheriff catch driving drunk, are took to jail!
Then they will be put in a cell!
To all drunkards, this is a "cemented hell!
Trying to stop drinking has very much strife!
If you started to drink & decided to stop, you get a longer life!
If you lose your mind,
then you are unable to be kind.
If you drink, just to get drunk,
then your breath definately stinks worse than the spray of a skunk!
You did not think that you would later have costly medical fees!
If you wind up having cancer,
who else can yoe blame? What is your answer?!
Drinking, Drug abuse & Smoking, each is a "temptation"!
And the first time any of the three is done, it may feel like a "sensation"!
This may or may not sound funny,
drinkers, smokers and drug abusers are carelessly using their money!
While they are losing their wealth,
more importantly, they are also losing their health!

Part/Poem 2 of 2: Drug Abuse!
If you take a pill,
at your own free will, just for a"thrill".
When you run out, how will you feel?!
This originated from a drug-pusher, saying "Let's make a deal!"
Drug-pushers lead numerous victims, to their kill!
Then, most victim's bodies are buried "six feet under a hill!"
Being a "dope-atic"
can permanently "put your body six feet below the attic!"
Most drug abusers bodies are are put in a tomb,
not many years "after coming out of their mother's womb"!
If you are addicted to dope.
It might, can or will "put you at the end of your rope"!
If so, you apparently did not think of how family member could or would cope!
Additional note: if you are addicted to dope,
you are most likely sooner than predicted, "Out Of Hope!"
In other words; avoid this downhill slope!
If you wind up having a heart disease,
you did not to think to realise, that you would have costly medical fees!
If you wind up having brain cancer,
who else can you blame? What is your answer?!
Drug Abuse, Alcoholism and smoking, each one is a "temptation"!
The first time any of the three is done, "it may feel like a sensation".
This may or may not sound funny.
Drug abusers, alchoholics & smokers are carelessly using their money.
While they are losing their wealth,
more importantly, they are also losing their health!

what are three reasons that addiction to alcohol and drugs can effect your friends and family.?

Family
1.
2.
3.

thanks so much

1. As your use increases you must hide it from friends and family.

2. Since you are spending more time getting loaded, and the folks might notice, you tend to avoid them. Old friends drop by the wayside as new using buddies take their place. This leads to isolating yourself from your family.

3. As the addiction progresses the addict will inevitably find it necessary to lie to family, and perhaps to steal from them to support an increasingly expensive habit.
