"It started as a way to relax after work just a drink or two. Over time, I needed more to feel the same relief. Soon, alcohol wasn’t a choice anymore, it was a compulsion. I told myself I could stop whenever I wanted, but every attempt ended in failure. My health declined, my relationships broke, and I realized I was no longer in control the substance was."
Substance addiction occurs when alcohol, nicotine, or drugs take control of a person’s life. It is not simply a habit it’s a chronic condition that changes the brain’s chemistry, leading to cravings, loss of control, and harmful consequences. Addiction affects not only the individual but also families, workplaces, and communities. With proper treatment, recovery and long-term freedom are possible.
