Drugs


Like infidelity, taking drugs begins because of the thrill of secrecy and fear of being caught. Quite frequently, people who take drugs are those who smoke, or have smoked in the past, and the thrill of getting a nicotine rush can often start to fade, and they may want to get stronger "kicks," which can lead to experimenting with drugs.
It may begin with softer drugs like marijuana, but this can soon lead to cocaine and heroin. In order to fund such a habit, many people have to resort to acts of theft or prostitution, and this can lead to an unbreakable vicious cycle.
Taking drugs can lead to crime, poor attainment in education, thus resulting in unemployment and very often poverty. Being addicted to drugs destroys the individual's happiness, body, mind, dignity, and very often can lead them to their grave. Anyone can be a drug addict, not just the stereotypical mid-20's male living in a council flat; as soon as you start experimenting a little, you may get a taste for more, and then the drugs can take hold of your life - not all drugs are medicines, you can only be "cured" by not taking them in the first place.
