Why do People Use?
Have you ever wondered why people use alcohol or drugs?
There are lots of reasons why. Some people use them to cope with issues that are really tough. Some people use because they are stressed out or anxious or really nervous and the substance use initially helps them with those symptoms.
Some use because of what’s going on at home with their family. Some use just because they want to check it out, they’re curious, or they really want to fit in.
These are just a few of the reasons. If you want to know more check out one of these web sites cause they’ve got great information:
