A South African man has taken to Twitter to share his personal journey of triumph over drug abuse, highlighting the progress he and his friends have made during their 2-year-long battle against addiction.
The post not only highlights the personal success of @ItsTheReal_Bizz and his friends but also sheds light on the multifaceted nature of addiction.
Acknowledging the common misconception surrounding drug addiction, @ItsTheReal_Bizz emphasizes that addiction is not limited to illegal substances such as heroin and cocaine.
Rather, it extends to substances that are often perceived as controllable, including alcohol, nicotine, sleep aids, anti-anxiety medications, and other legal substances.
“Today we celebrate 2 years drug free, it wasn’t easy but we made it Drug addiction isn’t about just heroin, cocaine, or other illegal drugs. You can get addicted to alcohol, nicotine, sleep and anti- anxiety medications, &other legal substances. You can also get addicted to prescription or illegally obtained narcotic pain medications, or opioids. At first,u may choose to take a drug because u like the way it makes u feel.u may think u can control how much&how often u use it.But over time,drugs change how your brain works. These physical changes can last a long time. They make u lose control&can lead to damaging behavior,” he wrote.
