Question:
Why is it that once a person starts taking alcohol or drugs, it is difficult to get rid of this habit? Discuss it with your teacher.
Answer:
Overcoming alcohol or drug addiction is challenging due to several factors, including:
Development of physical dependence, leading to withdrawal symptoms when not using.
Psychological dependence, where the substance becomes a coping mechanism.
Changes in the brain’s reward system, reinforcing drug-seeking behavior.
Social influences and environments that encourage substance use.
Habitual patterns of use that are difficult to break.
Stigma and shame associated with addiction, hindering seeking help.
