I Have Trouble Understanding How Hard Drug Abuse Somehow Helps a Person Feel Better?
Question by : I have trouble understanding how hard drug abuse somehow helps a person feel better?
I’m talking about VERY hard VERY addictive drugs. Not Adderall, LSD, pot, Vicodin, etc. I’m talking about heroin, meth, Krokodil, and bath salts.
For example. We all know what meth does. It makes people pick at their skin, lose their teeth, causes clammy pale skin, excessive sweating, anxiety, etc. Krokodil literally EATS PEOPLE’S FREAKING SKIN OFF!
It is rumored the man in Florida who ate the other man’s face was on bath salts mixed with another drug. Seriously!
How in the world is losing your skin, your teeth, your sanity, eating your neighbor, etc. any better than whatever it is that is making someone so miserable? If drugs make a person feel better I get that! But, why THESE drugs? When there are so many out there that, yes are horrible for you, but don’t eat your freaking skin?
I need someone to help me understand this mentality that using a drug that eats you or makes you feel like bugs are crawling on you, is going to help you feel better about your life! Thank you!

If you’ve never experienced the high, it’s difficult to explain … the physical feeling usually takes the focus off the emotional problems they’re experiencing (and trying to escape) … to the point that they don’t care about anything else but making themselves feel that way again when the high wears off. Some people are more easily chemically dependent than others, also.
But again, if you’ve never experienced recreational drug (ab)use, trying to explain it would be like trying to watch TV after someone coated your glasses with Vaseline
