DRUG ABUSE::FACTOR FICTION?
overcoming addiction is simply a matter of will power. You can stop using if youreally want to
natural drugs are safe than synthetic ones
drug addiction is a choice and addicts are bad people
treatment didnt work before, so it wont work again
alcohol will give you more energy and make you more sociable
eating a big meal before I drink will keep me sober
if you have a high alcohol tolerance, you wont have a drinking problem
white wine is a good choice for someone who wants a light drink with less alcohol
drinking coffee makes a person sober up faster

THINK YOU WONT GET ADDICTED?
Research shows that people who begin drinking earlier than age 15 are much morelikely to develop a dependence on alcohol than those who began drinking after age21
The earlier a person begins using marijuana, the greater the risk for future drug usedisorders and additional illicit substance abuse problems
The younger a person begins using over the counter/prescription drugs, the morelikely they are to be addicted for the rest of their lives!
