Substance abuseNo one plans to be ensnared into the grips of drug addiction, but the fact is that it happens to millions of people from all walks of life. Although people know that taking, drugs can be risky, they don't think that they will become addicted.
Drug addiction is very tricky; at first the drugs seem to help out, and all of life's problems seem to fade away, tensions are reduced, and worries disappear, and even the daily tasks that once seemed difficult don't seem so bad anymore, but the perceived benefits of drug usage will be the allure and the undoing of the person if he or she does not stop taking the drug. Drug abuse is a progressive disorder which usually starts off slow with small amounts, but tolerance of drugs can build fast, so the drug user will need more of the drugs to achieve the same desired effects. If regular usage of the drug continues, the person will eventually progress through these stages of drug use, drug abuse, and ultimately drug addiction.

All of us have natural chemicals in our brain called neurotransmitters. There are about 300 neurotransmitter chemicals in the brain such as dopamine, acetylcholine, norepinephrine, serotonin and endorphin. The function of these chemicals is to facilitate the transmission of information from the brain to all parts of the body, by way of electrical impulses. The information that is transmitted produces a variety of effects. Some of these effects are normal body functions like sweating, digestion and cellular activity of which we are not aware.Other effects we are aware of, these are feelings that cause us to engage in certain activities that are necessary for a healthy life. Feelings like hunger----   which cause us to eat, a natural euphoria when we exercise so that we will exercise again and a sex drive so that our species will continue to exist. Neurotransmitters produced by the brain in the pleasure center or central nervous systems are our body’s natural reward system. When we are hungry, we eat and feel satisfied. When we need rest, we sleep and feel rested. When we exercise, endorphin is release as neurotransmitters and we feel good, a natural high often called a “runner high.” This high or good feelings we experience through these natural chemicals in our brains are important so that we know what activities are healthy to help us thrive and lead healthy lives.
