The deception of drugs
In the beginning of time, one can say that experiences with what are now called, " chemical substances" are known to many merely as "getting high." This understanding is that for the mos part, one starts out using drugs at a young age solely for fun and escape. They feel overwhelmed with their problems and studies and feel that the drugs will help them cope. It's all a lie and the poor victims fall faster than lightening in a society full of hopeless people. Hope is why they choose their drugs, they have given up on it and fall hopeless victims to it. People think they enjoy their consumption of drugs, it goes without saying. However it does become common knowledge for all users that after an extended period of time, the "fun time" or enjoyment is over. Many ponder over what it is exactly that happened. Why did the fun end so quickly? What turned out to be a great experience can lead to a destructive relationships and even death. The reality cannot be ignored because it is so vast that it changes everyone's life for the worse.

How to Spot the Signs of Addiction
Many people think that if their loved one was struggling with addiction, they would know right away. Many people don’t even think about what addiction looks like until they have been personally and deeply affected by it. However, addiction is a complex and sometimes sneaky disease that isn’t always easy to identify in the early stages. That being said, identifying addiction early on is critical, because the sooner a person gets treatment, the better.

Golden California
I was born in 1995 right smack in the middle, almost a 90s kid but not. The youngest of four and the most spoiled. I have no recollection of my early years just three memories. A tea party magically set up in a dark room, first and last time it snowed, and after my parents divorced leaving the old house one last time.

A Toxic Kind Of Love
Living with Ben and Susan was not easy. Susan would get drunk off of box wine and Klonopin, Ben would down two to three bottles of Robitussin and blast off to space. Me? I was damage control. My relationship with Ben was not perfect. We broke up once in the summer of 2014, but we navigated out way back to each other. I should have stayed away, but I was so in love with this man that I just went right back. It was shortly after that break that things slowly spiraled downward. One night I was playing a video game, minding my own business while Ben was tripping. He was having a bad time, unlike any other bad trip I had ever seen. He was sitting on the ground, cross legged, rocking back and forth hitting himself in the head. He was out of his mind. Eyes glossed over, couldn't talk, his tongue was swollen to the point he could barely move it. Yet he was just sitting there, rocking back and forth like a mental case, hitting himself in the head and pulling at his hair. I had never noticed before, but he had a bald spot at the back of his head where it was evident that he had done this several times before. This trance, continued to happen. I would try to talk to him about it the next day and address my concerns, but he would call me a liar and tell me that it never happened. One night I decided I would use his phone and make a video. I filmed it happening so I could show him while he was sober. During the episode, he got pissed off at me, stood up, proceeded to pry his phone out of my hand and throw it against a wall. He walked over to it, deleted the video and told me to never do that again. In a state of shock, I decided no response was the best way to go and began to work on some of my writing.

What are the funniest cocaine memes?
It's an article of faith among many drug addicts that what they are experiencing are the funniest cocaine memes out there. Many addicts believe that these hilarious images of cocaine use are a part of their everyday reality, and are not something that is meant to be funny. They believe that these are things that happen to them every day and can never be avoided. But there are some very interesting facts surrounding these drug jokes.

Lost
Just over 3 years ago now, my ex husband, Miroslav John Patcha (Miro), died alone in a hospital bed in Cape Town, South Africa. Riddled with tuberculosis (TB), cancer and possibly HIV, he had been living on the streets in a township just north of Cape Town when he was arrested for drug possession. This was not for the first time, but became his last when he contracted TB in the unsanitary and inhumane conditions of the prison he was interned in, released to his parents with the knowledge he was dying.

We Have The Power To Overcome The Powerless Struggle
How am I powerless over alcohol, and how is my life unmanageable? I am powerless over alcohol in many different ways. There is no off button to when I drink. There are days that I have been able to have just one, but craving for more. This is a vicious cycle that cannot ever be stopped because I don't want it to, or do I.

Can Drug & Alcohol addiction be cured with quick treatment plans?
At the point when you build an addiction for anything in life – be it alcohol, drug or regardless of whether some sort of food addiction – you don't build it in overnight. Consistent consumption of the specific thing drives you to create a dependency for it, and in the long run you end up being addicted.
