Are drug users lost souls?
Are drug users criminals, bad people, nice people, scum or just lost souls?
Most people use drugs to escape reality, boost confidence or chill themselves out but there is a social aspect to taking drugs and what goes on around the drug. Some people enjoy the social aspect of taking drugs more than actually doing the drug. Bazaar ay? People take drugs for all different types of reasons but it all leads to a dead end road that can become lonely, painful and heartbreaking.
For loved ones it must be so hard, you must feel like shaking the person who is using and making them stop? All I can say is what goes up must come down, in other words you can only escape reality for so long before it hits you in the face again.
Stop and think before you take drugs. Do you really want a life addicted to taking drugs, a life with more ups and downs than need be?
