More often than not, drug addictions start with the experimental use of a drug in social situations. And for some people, drug use becomes more frequent. As time passes, a person may feel the need to use more of a drug to get their desired high, and soon a person may need the drug to simply feel “good.” When we see this happen to a loved one, we do everything we can to help. But sometimes, our unconditional love simply isn’t enough.
