Have you tried drugs or turned to alcohol due to peer pressure or stress? Addiction is a serious disease that affects millions, regardless of age or background. It can destroy relationships and careers, often requiring professional help, like the programs offered at Spark To Recovery, for recovery.
Becoming addicted to alcohol or drugs typically follows a gradual process rather than an intentional decision. It begins with occasional, seemingly normal substance use, such as having a few drinks at a social event or experimenting with drugs among peers.
As time goes on, individuals often find themselves needing larger amounts of the substance to experience the same “high” they once did. This stage signifies the transition from recreational use to dependence.
Also known as chemical dependency, is a step further, characterized by a physical reliance on the substance. When deprived of the substance, the body reacts negatively, and tolerance develops, requiring more of the substance to achieve the desired effect.
Abrupt cessation of use at this point can lead to withdrawal symptoms, as the body has become accustomed to the presence of the substance. Thus, addiction evolves as a gradual process, often beginning with seemingly harmless experimentation and escalating to a point where quitting becomes challenging due to physical and psychological dependencies.
Increased frequency of use to cope with stress or achieve pleasure.
Continued use despite negative consequences and potential withdrawal symptoms.
Physical and psychological reliance, with cravings and tolerance development.
