What is a drug addiction and how can you tell if you have one? Drug addictions rely on your substance use to take root in your system. You may be offered a party drug such as cocaine one Saturday night with your friends. If you choose to take it, the next time you are offered cocaine, you won’t think so hard before you use it. A few Saturdays may go past before you decide you could use it on a Friday night, as well. You find your own supplier and you start buying as much as you like. When a few weeks of this passes, you will start to buy more and more cocaine because you want to achieve the same high that you got that first time. You build a tolerance to the drug, so you need more and more of it to feel normal at the weekends. The use might spread to weekdays subtly. You will start to crave it. There will come a weekend when you cannot go without the cocaine, or when you cannot say no to it any longer. You seek more and more of it and the cycle repeats. You will spend all of your money on drugs, have no disposable income, and damage your health. The health damage depends on which drug you are addicted to.Types of Addictive Drugs
