People who abuse substances are attempting to escape their reality because they feel powerless to change it. Educating people how to change their life is the cure.
That or changing society so people aren't powerless to fix their own destiny.
Until that happens the chemical people are addicted to is irrelevant. They can use any number of drugs to include sugar in a way that is detrimental to their health and will do so.
- normal_man 8y agoThis is overly simplistic. People may start to abuse substances because of a feeling of powerlessness, depression or some other form of unhappiness, but once addicted, a person's life can improve and the use will continue until the psychological connections are broken and rewired.
- geggam 8y agoHaving been addicted I find complicating things to add to the issue. Simplest method to fix it is to address the underlying issues starting with the biggest first. As a note. You cannot fix this for other people they have to want to fix it and change.
