far less glamourous
I tend to think that a change in the education system regarding drug use "may" help. In my job I have seen the worst of the worst in terms of what drug abuse can do. Any question of using cocaine, heroin, crack etc has been burned out of me when I see its results.
Its sad that people can find it glamourous to fry their brain and destroy any chance for their offspring to function.
Has anyone here done cpr on a person that has died from choking on their own feces? Anyone seen the inside of a skull after the person has smashed their own head into a cement wall? Glamorous?
I take care of these people after they can no longer take care of themselves. Or I take care of their children because they where too selfish to reconsider having a child while being an addict.
Perhaps if more people knew that the end of the road for drug use is not always death - its having people care for your every need because your brain has liquified to the point you no longer can think enough to know not to drink out of an unflushed toilet.
The nice thing is that others drug abuse has given me a long term job with a good wage.
