Sad makes me wonder what drives people to that.

Sad makes me wonder what drives people to that.

I think part of it is there are always people around who catter to these guys/girls. Willing to be runner and get them anything/everything they want, even if they dont want it at first. Starts out with drinking excessivly then trying something stupid like x,y,z because other people are doing it also and they SEEM to be having fun.

Some people are a lot more suceptable or have an adictive personality than others and can be hooked right away. Chemical addiction is hard to beat. The brain endorphins tell you that you need it to feel good or feel normal.

I have had several friends go down that path and many have never recovered fully, always on the verge of going down that dark path and most are never quite the same as they use to be. It's really sad.

I have felt the pull from substance before and it's scary but I have the mindset that anything that makes me feel like that makes me stop, walk away or run. I dont like to feel I'm not in 100% control of my actions. That being said why did I get married???? lol

See this is the whole thing though. You have a choice on whether or not you're going to be like that. You chose not to. Those guys made the wrong choice. They make piss-poor life choices and then try to pull the "it's not my fault, I'm an addict, it's a disease" bullshit. They'll refuse the responsibility for their problem and use that as ways to justify their continued bad choices.
