When do the good times become a problem? Maybe it’s time for someone to think about cutting back or stopping their drug use if they’re:
- using more than they planned to and for longer
- feeling guilty about drug use
- needing to take more to get the same effect
- spending a lot of time thinking about/wanting drugs, or recovering from them
- unable to enjoy clubbing or sex unless on something.
Someone stands a better chance of controlling their drug and/or alcohol use if they first:
- think about what they do and why, and the up-sides and down-sides
- plan changes they want to make, but don’t aim to change too much at once.
- act and use support from others if needed, because changing can be hard
- try to avoid what (or who) triggers your drug/alcohol use. Replace them with other things you enjoy.
