But in reality it’s hurting both you and your loved ones. When you can not control the amount of drugs or alcohol you intake and it affects your psychical and mental health then that’s a problem.
When you’re getting high or drunk you often neglect your responsibilities. You may be skipping work or coming in late often with constant fear you might be fired. At school you could be flunking classes just wasting your time and money. At home you end up neglecting your children which becomes a regular fight with your spouse. You may loss the close relationship you once had with your partner and instead spend you time getting high or trying to get your next hit. You know this behavior is dangerous and it’s hurting you but you can’t stop. You might say “I’ll quit,” but it never happens.
