Day 3 (Here we go challenge) - Your view on drugs and alcohol

     Have you ever tried some?
You haven't? You're a lucky person.
You have? You may or may not be a lucky person.
     I think most of us belong to the second group. And most of us also probably agree with me that drugs and alcohol are dangerous.
     Of course, it's nice to get drunk sometimes, have fun with friends, dance a little, or get high from weed, laugh without a reason and feel fine. But the golden rule works here too - 'Everything with moderation'. Which could be hard. And if you know you often have problems with moderation, don't try it at all.
     We should be careful though. Some drugs don't have the level of moderation. The withdrawal symptoms come after the first dose. Those are for example heroin, metamphetamine and others.
     I don't know much about drugs but when I was in a psychiatric hospital I met a few "junkies" there. They looked terrible, they weren't ugly or anything (they had many bruises and wounds though), but the feeling you got after looking into their eyes is unforgettable. I could only see desperation. Sickness. Not even a twinkle of positivity. The truth is, they started doing drugs and alcohol because it helped them escape from reallity, not only to have a little fun. That's when it's especially dangerous. When you take it up to get you from shit and it gets you to even deeper shit.
     To get this to even a higher level, you don't only get mentally and somaticaly addicted, it can cause you several brain damage, total paralysis or even death.
     So please, please be careful.

    And I think people should experience as much as they can - drugs even, if they want to - because they only live once, but you're right. When it's a tool to get away, you know you're doing something wrong.
