Environment. A person’s environment includes many different influences, from family and friends to economic status and general quality of life. Factors such as peer pressure, physical and sexual abuse, early exposure to drugs, stress, and parental guidance can greatly affect a person’s likelihood of drug use and addiction.

Signs of Drug Addiction
1. A strong urge to consume drugs everyday either single or multiple times.
2. Ensure continual supply of drugs even if it demands begging, borrowing or stealing.
3. No self control when it comes to consuming drugs. Addicts tend to consume more drugs than they may actually want to.
4. Consume drugs regularly despite knowing about their adverse consequences.
5. The feeling of withdrawal even when one is with family and friends.
6. People often stop enjoying what they used to earlier. This may be things such as watching movies, listening music cooking or just about anything.
7. Spending more time seeking and using drugs and dealing with its effects.
8. Prolonged feeling of anxiety and depression.
9. Feeling of vulnerability when devoid of drugs.

If one loses control over oneself and gets trapped in drug addiction one should definitely consult a doctor. Right treatment and healthy lifestyle can help get rid of drugs.
