FORMULA for LIFE:                    “DECISIONS”  +  “ACTIONS” + “USE of TIME”  =  Goals/Results/Consequences.
 
Currency of life =                       TIME – how are you using your time?    
 
                            If one has a true chemical addiction, more and more of my "TIME" is invested in 1) "planning to use", 2) "getting resources to use", 3) "buying drugs/alcohol to use", 4) "using of drugs/alcohol", 5) "recovering from the affects of using", and then REPEAT 1 thru 5.  As a result, in addiction, all constructive/healthy behaviors are soon abandoned and lost.  Thus "healthy living" grinds to a halt, and negative behaviors and then negative consequences increase which creates much havoc, chaos, and destruction in their lives.

If there was a greater addiction to all others, and it had no harmful effects to health, would you help addicts to 'try' it out?
