Just Curious – Long Term Use Of Narcotics..Being Clean?
Can long term use of narcotics mess with a persons ability to function still after years of being clean…

Some don’t seem to have any after effects at all. Substance abuse kills brain cells and alters the chemicals in the brain. I guess the lesson is, don’t abuse drugs or alcohol. Rehabilitation is fantastic, but there is some damage that irreparable – that is the price we pay! Some people substitute one addiction with another as a sort of self-medication, and because it’s legal, they think it’s okay!
Just because it’s legal doesn’t make it any less damaging when it’s abused. It may numb you out but it distorts reality – functioning in society is a far cry from living your best life and being happy with who you are – you’re not rehabilitated until you face your demons and rise above them.
