Drug Addiction
For those who struggle with drug addiction,don't typically set out to destroy themselves and everyone and everything in their path--rather, these disastrous consequences are the effect of the vicious cycle of addiction. Drugs seem to be a means of averting emotional and/or physical pain by providing the user with a temporary escape from or way to cope with life's realities. The irony of drug addction is, more problems are often created by using drugs. Over time, a person's ability to choose not to take drugs can become compromised. Soon enough, the person rationalizes the need to use consistently and will do anything to get high...

hello, This is my first blog. I am a 49 year old female that has been chemically unbalanced for a long long time. I began using to cope with neurological damage from brain surgery as well as chronic pain, since I began using as a middle aged housewife and mother of four now grown children I never used while I was raising my kids THANK GOD Ihave come to see how distructive this drug truely is,at first I was just greatful to be able to move and rise out of a sick bed. I felt as though I had been delivered from the chronic pain my life had become on a daily basis.Now six years later I have found myself in worse shape then before using the drug no longer gives me relief from pain or the energy to be (a normal functioning women)I am so chemically imbalanced and wrought with pain I am reduced to tears daily and now shameand guilt are my only companions, having a felony posession charge and trying to deal with my panic and anxiety disorder's seems like I am climbing mount everest daily and there are no options for me, no relief from this tortured exsistance.I have to get off this drug, but I ask who is going to be there to pick up the pieces of what remains when it's all said and done? the courts cant and wont hear me besides I have no voice they canthear my pleas and order me into treatment that causes me more harm then good. All I wanted was a nurturing detox of three or four days with some compassion, I could then pull my self back together and cope with the realities of my life. I have always been a recluse by nature and find it difficult to trust (anyone) let alone be thrown into a group situation where everyone used drugs and had been in the criminal justice system. I was not a typical addict I was a functioning,law abidding tax paying citizen. I did not rob or steal to pay for my drugs I did not socialize with other addicts I did not want to be found out.I needed to be discret and believe it or not to meet me you would never guess I was injecting a half a gram of methanphedimine everyday for the last five years and having a medical background gave me the tools to become the deceptive person I had to become to survive. Now that is the crime I am guilty of here, becoming addicted and being deceitful in that respect. The system does not allow for the individual assesment of each case to uncover the deep rooted reasons we as addicts use drugs we are just social rejects and in my opinion until they do freedom from addiction will continue to elude many of us. thanks for the opportunity to say how I feel just this once.
