Why does alcohol make stress and depression “go away” almost instantly but is making it worse in the long run?
In: 125
Substances(drugs/alchohol) essentially poison you & reduce some/all bodily function until you can recover but often slowly or even quickly damage your body or even mind. In the case of the brain it basically makes you stupid temporarily with the more you take the stupid-er you are. The less you can think about something the less you generally will & may even forget about it for a while.
If you cope with things by ingesting a substance you become dependant on not being able to think clearly & slowly loose the ability to deal with things without it.
When you cant deal with things without a substance your addicted & do irrational things/when to take said substances.
This can get worse & worse until you end up being consumed by consuming said substances until you do nothing else & consuming it is your life.
People at this point don’t see the substance as the problem but anyone & anything that gets in their way of that substance as the problem instead.
