“What are the Harmful Consequences of Drug Use?” : http://www.hc-sc.gc.ca/hc-ps/pubs/adp-apd/straight_facts-faits_mefaits/harmful-torts-eng.php#harmful covers the BEHAVIOUR.
The next page “What is Canada’s Drug Strategy?” discusses about the PREVENTION too.
Treatment, eh?! http://www.drugabuse.gov/DrugPages/Treatment.html might help.
I think this article: “The evolutionary origins and significance of drug addiction” might help ya too…
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1174878/
Most importantly,”Drugs distribution and use in ancient environments” will give you a clear picture about the ancient substance abuse.
But I betcha, to trace the origin is an impossible stuff … 🙁
Ahhhh that National Center for Biotechnology Information article has everything ya want! 🙂 Happy “papering” 😀

Question by swtgretchen: Drug addiction……..Cocaine………..?
A “friend” and her boyfriend started out using about 1 1/2 years ago. They finally have decided to quit but it’s really hard. They tried the stay away from everyone that does it and the disassociate themselves with all, but to no avail the friends they did have that didn’t do it now do and sell on top of it. They were there “support” and there aren’t any NA places around here just AA. They are slowly losing everything and I want to help, they can’t “go away for 30 or 60 days” because they have children. What other options?
I have heard there is actually a shot you can get that makes you sick to your stomach if you do it after the shot, rumors true??
sounds like a great idea, although just said “the few friends they did have are now doing the drugs and selling them” anymore bright ideas?
ummm and have YOU even been hooked on cocaine, your rigth even though you see your entire world crumbling around you, you don’t want to stop. The drug makes you numb inside so you don’t have to care.

One option is for them to appoint someone using a power of attorney to manage their finances and pay their bills. If they don’t have any money to pay for the drugs, then they can’t really get them without hiding some money [if that’s the case, then they don’t really want to quit.]

Question by Megan H: Drug/alcohol addiction treated like an illness but food addiction people are just called fat, why is that?
I know people who go to N.A. and A.A. and it is free, 2 of them even receive SSI payments as they are too “addicted” to work. I on the other hand, have a food addiction. I’m morbidly obese because of it, but Weight Watchers meetings charge me money to attend. Drug addicts have clinics they can go to for free medical care, I have to pay to go to gym. Mine addiction I’m told is one I can give up with will power, but they have a “disease”..I want to know why is it different? I am so tired of trying only to be shut down at every try and my health insurance would pay for me to go in rehab, but not for weight loss clinic or program. I feel like I should start being a druggie to get any help!
Let me give you a few details. I care for my 80 yr old mother and my 2 grandkids as their parents are off on drugs somewhere and I only get $ 335 from state to help pay for their care. I work 2 jobs just to pay bills and 1 of them is at fast food, the other is for insurance office. I cannot afford to buy better insurance and not eligible for state insurance because they say I make too much. By the end of working 14 hours a day M-F and 8 on Sat, plus all the housework, I am just too tired to work out. And there are plenty of free services for bulimia and anorxia, but not for food addition. I’m not making excuses I just want to know why the system is step up this way.
I eat for free at restaurant job and with the amount I earn I have to because the money has to go to pay for rent/utilities and childcare the state only allows me 40hours a week for the 2 kids. My grocery budget for 4 of us is $ 50 a week, so we eat as cheap as possible and yes that means alot of canned foods and such. People need to get off their high horses and walk a mile in someone elses shoes.

GET A BETTER INSURANCE!!! Even mine offers free programs and discounts to fitness clubs and martial arts courses.
Weight Watchers is a FOR PROFIT company. You need to look into support groups.
Check the newspaper and go to health fairs. Some free courses are offered at your local hospital. At some health fairs you can get your diabetes tested, eyes and teeth checked, and blood pressure taken. Check our your YMCA and community building for free classes.
Answer by Shane
I think it’s because drugs and alcohol are actually physically addictive, while food is only mentally addictive at best. You can never be anything more than mentally dependent on food. And I know, I used to weigh 350+ lbs but I finally got my head out of my ass and lost 150 lbs. There is nothing magical about weight loss, you burn more calories than you take in and you lose weight. And if looking better, feeling better, and living longer aren’t good enough reasons for you to break this “addiction”, then nothing will be. Good luck!

Answer by Kaleigh
I personally hate the smell. And I think it’s the fear that it could be something that you’re addicted to.
Answer by No Name
Many don’t like the smell. I like the smell, but one girl that I dated disliked the smell and many of my females friends dislike it just because they think it is a gateway drug.
@Kaleigh: Addiction to it is government propaganda. One can become a habitual user, but one cannot become an adict. Many of those who are in “rehab” or “drug addiction counseling” are there because the other option was jail and a criminal record.
