Question:

Why do people turn to alcohol or drugs when things go bad in there life?


Answers:
Because they are not mentally strong enough to overcome problems without chemistry help....

To forget. When you're drunk, you've no worries.

They think its their only way out.

Because it numbs the pain if only for a little while.

because they see it in the films and they think it's cool

i do drugs and alcohol, because of stress. maybe becaues they make me feel dumb and isolated from my problems ;))

It's a solace. . .they make the person enter a fake euphoria (a feeling a good being) and it just relaxes them. . .it's a sorry excuse for an escape to me

essencially escapism.

mind altering substances allow us to enter into an alter-reality and avoid the things troubling us.

its not until we step up and deal with the problem that we make any progress

because it makes us feel better...even if its for a short period of time. In fact...i wanna smoke a blunt now!!! now that u mentioned it

the tend to linger on the lines that their problem will be eased when they are relaxed but in truth they dont adding substance is not the way to go........... basically a temporary scapegoat

because it makes you feel good

Just that they are in such a rut that they think things can not be any worse. Plus the society is geared towards alcohol reliance

i think its to try to dull the pain of what they are going through

some people deal with it through different ways

drugs, alcolhol, self-harm, councelling, heaps of stuff

I'm not sure because i'm only 9....but here is my personal opinion. I believe that people do it because they have issues in life and need to concor it. I think that it numbs the pain and it makes them forget. I would never do it and neither should you. Have a nice life and God Bless You.

I have no clue, but when things go bad for me I usually just get a little depressed or try and shake it off by doing something that makes me feel good(like listening to music, writing poetry, & or designing).

People who succumb to drugs, in the end(mostly) fail miserably. I feel sad for them.

People do not want to face the harsh reality of their lives. People turn to alcohol or drugs because it provides a temporary escape from reality and sometimes, with chronic usage, a permanent escape from the real world. People have a hard time dealing with the day to day sometimes when things get tough.

because people make such a big deal about the issue, and of how people do turn to them in there time of depression, that they think its just the normal thing to do when your down.

It's a temporary diversion from a reality which they feel unable to cope with.

Because it's easier than facing their problems and fixing up their miserable little lives.

Escape, baby, escape. To get away from their world for a while.

it helps you relax and put your problems on hold for a while.


i got a better question. why do people try to explain why " I " drink when they dont drink or even know me?????????? if you dont want to drink, that is great. i will respect your choices. but no need to put me down cause i want to.
