Why Do They Say “Drugs and Alcohol”?
Question by rocket: Why do they say “drugs and alcohol”?
Why do people think alcohol is not a drug? Actually, alcohol is much worse than marijuana or even LSD and Ecstasy. Still people think it’s something else. Just because it’s legal? Please, keep in mind that alcohol is a drug too.
Maybe lsd and ecstasy are worse than alcohol, but alcohol is much more addictive.
Actually, Wikipedia says LSD and Ecstasy have lesser physical harm than alcohol (and less addictive too). Only the effects are different of course.

You have pointed out one of the main things that needs to be there “willingness” good job!
I’m an addict in recovery (5yrs) and I know each person is different. some just quit,others use AA/NA, and then some need a combo of the AA and therapy… One thing that all addicts lack is the ability to cope with life on life’s terms. If an addict doesn’t learn to cope then they tend to just switch addictions… from drugs to others i.e. eating, gambleing, workaholic, thank you guys for your answers and I’ll give this question till the end of the day..
“Substance Abuse” and “issues” ?
Question by ninjagirlz: “Substance abuse” and “issues” ?
Why is it that it is said that all people who use “substances” have some sort of other issues, or that they use them to escape whatever their problems are ? Cant some people just use them occasionally because they like how they make them feel?? Just a thought.

Answer by JAMES A N
Not all substance users have severe emotional/mental issues. In fact, many people who do choose to use a substance don’t become addicted and develop problematic tendencies. People do refer to this though because a large population of drug users get high for the sole reason of escaping reality, depression, physical pain or other underlying mental conditions.

Mom Who Smokes and Drinks Around Her Toddler – Child Abuse?
Question by Chelsea A: Mom who smokes and drinks around her toddler – child abuse?
My best friend (not anymore) of 12 years recently moved out of my apartment (where she had a bedroom with a crib) to her mother’s apartment where she and the 16 month old sleep on a leather sofa in the living room. Mom smokes weed and cigarettes, gets drunk often, takes esctacy (a street drug – mdma…) and any other prescription type pills she can get her hands on and spends her “child support” money, and her Welfare benefits on her habits – including new tattoos, drugs and alcohol. Is this considered child abuse? Should I report it? I live in Oregon.
In this apartment also lives her 17 year old little brother, her new best friend and her 2 year old daughter and her mom with her 24 year old boyfriend. All of whom participate in affore mentioned illicit activities.
