When people try to do something new such as drinking or doing drugs, they can become sick or they may feel really good and do it again or not. When people try it the first time and become sick, they probably will think to themselves, “Do I really want to feel that way again?” And they may never do it again. Other people who try it may feel happy, giddy, excited and high. Those people will most likely think, “Wow, I feel so good right now! I have to do this again,” and do it two or three more times. Each time that they try to get high again, they will always want to feel the same way that they did the first time, but they’ll soon realize they will never feel the same. Sadly, by the time they realize this, their body is already addicted. When they try to stop taking the substance, their body becomes weak and they’ll start to feel sick. This is a long and scary path that drugs and alcohol will put you through. So the message here is just not to do any substance that can put you on this path and take over and ruin your life forever.
