Addiction - when you just can't stop

What is addiction?

'Addiction' is a word that usually refers to drugs. Sometimes it's also

called 'dependence'. When someone first

starts to use drugs, it is called substance abuse. We say someone is addicted to drugs when they have no

control over whether they use the drug or not. That person feels that

they have to have that drug.

Types of addiction

There are two types of addiction.

1.Physical addiction

is when a person's body becomes dependent on

something. After a while that person's body craves more

and more of whatever it is to be able to feel OK. Trying to

give up can make that person suffer withdrawal symptoms

which can last for quite a long time, but slowly get less

as the body gets used to doing without.

2. Psychological addiction

is when someone craves something which will change their mood or feelings. They

may not get physical withdrawal symptoms, but they may feel lonely, depressed or anxious if they can't get the

thing that they desire.

What can be addictive?

People can become addicted to a wide range of things.

drugs - legal and illegal;Alcohol;Tobacco;some medications;inhalants,like sniffing glue or petrol.

Compulsive behaviours can include:

eating disorders, like bingeing on food and then making themselves vomit, or

compulsive exercise, where they are constantly exercising to make themselves feel good, but are really harming their bodies (yes, professional athletes need to train a lot to keep their bodies ready to compete, but they are following fitness programs which include food, exercise and sports psychology, based on their sport and themselves).

gambling, video games, mobiles and SMS, and chatting on the internet.

If someone you care about is suffering from an addiction

Tell that person that you care about them and are worried about what they are doing.Tell someone you trust about it.Do some research on whatever they are using or doing and show them or tell them what you have found.Think about your trusted adults and talk to them until something is done. Keep yourself safe by:

Asking smokers not to smoke near you (see the topic Passive smoking) Avoiding being around someone who is addicted to alcohol or drugs because they may not act as they used to Telling someone if you feel unsafe Not hanging around with that person or their friends Not making the mistake of thinking what that person is doing must be cool because they are older than you Never trying whatever drug they are using.

What can you do to help?

You cannot really help someone who has an addiction. That person has to help himself.

All you can do is show that you care what happens to him, tell those adults you trust about your concerns, and be ready to praise every small step that he takes to stop the addiction.

What kids say M y m u m a n d d a d s p l i t u p b e c a u s e o f a l c o h o l " .

"My big sister had to go into hospital because she wasn't eating properly. It was very worrying for all the family".

" I felt sad when my friend's brother got killed in his car. He had been drinking a lot of alcohol and he was showing off".

"My dad still smokes but mum makes him smoke outside. He doesn't smoke in his car though".

"If someone in your family is trying to give up drugs don't shout at them. It's really hard. Just tell them that you love them and want them to be happy.

DRUGS ARE BADTHEY MAKE YOU SAD

THEY CAN EVEN MAKE YOU MAD.

THEY CAN MAKE YOU GLAD

BUT NOT FOR VERY LONG.

TAKING DRUGS IS WRONG.

SO, IF YOU WANT A HAPPY LIFE

DON'T TAKE DRUGSAND STAY OUT OF

STRIFE.

MIKAYLA

Dr Kim saysGiving up an addiction is

not easy. There are organisations that can help. Someone giving up will need to make a plan on what they will

do and when.It is important that people in the family

know and can be ready to help by being

patient and supporting that person while their

body and mind cope with withdrawal from the drug or behaviour.
