how to stop drug abuse!!!!t

1)why do people use drugs???
Basically people use drugs because they like the way drugs make them feel. Pleasure is a powerful force. If you do something pleasurable, your brain is wired in such a way that you want to do it again. All drugs that are addicting can activate and affect the brain's pleasure circuit.
2)what is addiction???
Addiction is a disease that affects your brain and your behavior. You have control over your choice to start using drugs, but once you start, the pleasurable effect of drugs makes you want to keep using them. Over time, your brain actually changes in certain ways so that a powerful urge to use drugs controls your behavior. This is what it means to be addicted to drugs. Someone who is addicted uses drugs without thinking or caring about the consequences.
3)Can addiction be treated?
Yes, but addiction is a chronic, relapsing disease. It may take a number of attempts before you can remain free of drugs or alcohol.!!!
4)How do I stop?
The first step in breaking addiction is realizing that you control your own behavior. You can't control how the people around you act. But you can control how you react. It's the only real control you have in your life. So use it. The following are the first steps to breaking your addiction:
1) Commit to quitting.
Once you decide to quit, make plans to be sure you really do it.
2)Get help from your doctor.
He or she can be your biggest ally, even if you're trying to quit a drug he or she prescribed. Your doctor may be able to prescribe medicine that makes you less likely to crave the addictive drug. Talking with your doctor or a counselor about your problems and your drug use can be helpful too.
3)Get support.
Contact one of the organizations listed in the column to the right. These groups are dedicated to helping people who have addictions. They want you to succeed, and they will give you the tools and support you need to quit and move on with your life. Ask your family and friends for support too.
