Question by drummer man: why are some prone to drug and alcohol abuse?
this is a question i have pondered over and I hope you may be able to Help me understand why some of us seem to be prone to drug and alcohol abuse?
so, what do you think?
can shyness for example lead to drug and alcohol dependency?
drawing from my own experience, being inclined to shyness and social anxiety eventually lead to me using alcohol and then i started using drugs like cannabis because i found that after i had consumed either, I felt “normal” i.e. my inhibitions seemed to disappear and i would feel more at ease with myself and people…but i was also aware that the anxiety was still there knowing that when the effects wore off my shyness and nervousness would come back.
and so the longer i could stay tipsy and high the better i felt.
i no longer use alcohol or drugs anymore and i am still shy and still have bad nerves but i am determined to never abuse drugs and alcohol again.
i think i had to to go through that experience in order to learn that they were not the answer.
but surely shyness and or anxiety can’t be the only reason why people turn to drugs and alcohol?
if we are mentally strong do you think that can help us?
can physical problems make us inclined to turning to drink and drugs?
please share your thoughts.
the more i live the more i learn how many of us have gone astray for various reasons and each case i have looked at shyness has always lead to alcohol abuse and it has always lead to a early death.
and i think it is so sad.
what can we do to help?
interesting answer Trina
thank you.
sheng Hui,
thank you.
your answers are very good and valid.
and i agree with you.
