Substance abuse: a self imposed slavery to drugs!

Many times I am forced to think, what on the earth makes people get addicted to drugs or alcohol

? Always have failed to get the answer to this question, until I happened to read an article on the internet about factors leading to addictions! There were many reasons leading to addiction, all of them were valid. One reason caught my attention the most was as follows: many of us get addicted to get emotional strength. This point got my thought process rotating. Why does one have to depend on the external factors to be strong? Is it not sufficient to have a strong mind and acknowledging it? All my questions may be true in their own respect. Later, with some extensive research, it was clear to me, that very few of us have the ability to know and realized how strong our own mind is and how well we ourselves can control the mind to make it our slave.

Though it sounds very tough and hard, on the contrary it is the most easily learned art. One should know when to let it go scot free and when to hold it back. There is one apt proverb in literature, it says, a will can move mountains! Do you think it is physically possible for person to move mountains? The answer might be "NO". But with power of will paired with efforts people can reach at the top of the mountain. So power of mind is the mightiest tool humans have, we should acknowledge it and make accurate use of it. But very few of us realize this principle. Those who realize it, move far ahead in their lives. For those who do not understand it, think life as hard task, and seek help outside self, get easily addicted to substances to gain a feeling of being well.

Ativan is one drug used for getting a feeling of relieved from anxiety. It has a very soothing and calming effect. This drug is used in psychological therapies by the professionals. It is also recommended by the practicing medical experts for a shorter term. It has a characteristic to make the user habituated to this drug. Similarly people use cocaine for getting the euphoric feeling. Ativan addiction needs careful and expert medical care in the treatment which begins with detoxification. Cocaine addiction affects the central nervous system. The basic difference between these addictions is the earlier one is a prescribed drug whereas the other one is addictive.
