Denial. This is a very common trait displayed by not only a drug addict but the family and friends of drug addicts as well. Nobody wants to believe that their loved one is suffering from drug addiction and often times people will deceive themselves in order to make things seem better than they are.
In order to defeat this destructive pattern I have developed a very straight to the point article that will clearly identify a few of the undeniable behavior patterns exhibited by someone suffering from drug addiction.
1. Isolation
This is probably the most typical characteristic of drug addicts. Because of the overpowering effects caused by addiction, the addict will almost invariably fall into a deep isolation. They will separate themselves from family and friends and become very downdraught.
2. Irritability
Drug addicts often times loose their normal personality traits. They will become very short tempered and irritable. This is especially true if they are ever confronted on their drug abuse. If this happens, they will typically become very defensive and enraged.
3. Unmanagable life
In nearly all cases, someone suffering from drug addiction will begin to loose control of their material life. They will begin to have trouble affording their standard expenses and will frequently ask for some type of financial loan from people they are close to.
These are the 3 most common characteristics of someone suffering from drug addiction. If this sounds like someone you know then it is imperative that you begin to seek out help for them. This is important because in nearly all drug addiction cases, the addict will not reach out for help until things have gotten extremely bad.
You have the potential of acting as the bridge between despair and hope for your loved one. You can find an abundant amount of resources online or in your local community.
Best wishes!
