Nausea, insomnia, and depression just a few symptoms of withdrawal from oxycontin, a well-known abused drug. Just like oxycontin they are many other drug's getting abused in the world today, some worse than others. So many people become addicted to drugs, all it takes is trying it one time. Despite the fact that people are dying all around them everyday, they still feel a need to try them. My heart does in some ways break for those who are suffering from a drug addiction, I can only imagine how hard it is to stop abusing the drug's. It's just like trying to diet or stop smoking and I'm sure alot of people can relate to that, but at the same time if you had'nt of tried them you wouldn't have to worry about how you are ever going to get off of them. I can't understand why so many people want to start using drug's, it only brings a luggage of bad things in your life. You begin to steal, you never have money, you never know what's going on around you, and it could lead to death. Drug suppliers also have alot to do with people becoming addicted, If the suppliers would cut alot of it out maybe it would shorten the amount of people who are addicted. It has became so easy for a abuser to get what they need, so in some ways you can't place all the blame on the abuser's they have to be getting the stuff somewhere. Dependent's are what I consider drug's to be, because the addict's can't even complete a simple task troughout their day without having some kind of drug in their body, and most of them will do anything to get them. Drug's are constantly on their mind no matter what the situtation is, they eat, breathe, and sleep drug's. They never really get to expeirence life without drug's, they have to have drug's no matter what the situation may be. I think anyone who abuses drug's should not become a parent, simply because it isn't setting a good example for the child, and the child can be born already hooked on drug's and that isn't fair to the child it had no say in whether it wanted to be on drug's or not. No child should have to grow up with that kind of exposure, that's why I feel that it would be best not to bring a child into living situations like that. I can honestly with many other's say that I am glad I have never mingled with drug's and am no a addict, and I'm sure they are alot of addict's in the world who wish they had of never tried that first drug and could get their life back and weren't addicted.
