EFFECTS OF DRUGS ON OUR LIFESTYLE.

How drug effect relationships

 

Drug addiction affects all areas of life, including relationships. Addiction makes it hard to maintain trust, respect and open communication – critical elements in a healthy relationship. When a person is addicted to a substance, they revolve their life around obtaining and using the drug. This may lead to neglecting responsibilities or the needs of their significant other. As a result, their partner will feel hurt, angry and betrayed. Drug addiction can have devastating effects on relationships in many different ways.

 

Effects on family

If you’re in a relationship with an addicted person or struggle with addiction yourself, know that help is available to you. Addiction is a treatable disease. With time and effort, you and your partner, or anyone affected by the addiction, can repair the damage and move towards recovery together. In this post, we’ll explore the complexity of addiction, its effect on relationships, and how you and your loved ones can heal.

 

 

Although not always the case, codependency is commonly a part of a relationship with an addicted person. This is because the lives of family members often revolve around the addiction. As a result, family members try to help their loved one in the wrong ways, and eventually, they gain a sense of satisfaction from being needed by the addicted person. For example, a wife might mean well by giving her husband money for drugs to prevent withdrawal symptoms, or to keep him from obtaining it illegally, but she is enabling his addiction and may be preventing him from getting help. Codependency can be damaging to both the addicted person and their loved one. 

Effects on financial

Drugs cost money. The people making and selling drugs aren’t in the business to make you happy—they’re in it for the money.  

Drug use can cost anywhere from less than 1000rs to several lakh rupees a month, depending on what drugs you use, how often you use them, and where you live. 

So how does it hurt your family financially if you use drugs?

·       You steal money, credit cards, or items of value from them to sell or trade for drugs

·       They may have to mortgage the house to cover the expenses for treatment

·       They may have to sell valuable items to raise the money to pay for  treatment

·       They may have to wipe out college and retirement accounts to get you help

As said..its very easy to destroy ,but its damn difficult to mend it. EVERYBODY HAS A RIGHT TO LIVE HAPPY. lets help people get over the problems of addiction and avoid such situations.
