A person, an individual like you and me and the only difference is that she/he takes drugs or ALCOHOL. • She/he has become dependent on drugs and cannot get away from it. • She/he is a patient and needs to be looked at as a sick person. • Once one starts, she/he cannot stop. It becomes a need more than food. • She/he is the only one who can decide when she/he wants to stop. She/he can do it but not alone. • Sr Alice VIVIEN

  22. There are many circumstances that lead someone to start taking drugs: • A problem • A disappointment at work/home/with friends/girlfriend/boy friend etc… • psychologically weak at one stage in her/his life. • Influence: “try it you will be a man”

  23. Our reaction? • They want it. • They can stop • They should be put in prison • They are wrong • But when it is one of our friends/relatives etc. • Parents/friends relatives feel ashamed. This should not be known. • We don’t come forward. • We give money. We hide things that she/he is doing. We find excuses etc…
