Hi guys! Here are some information about anti-drugs campaign on how to prevent drug abuse and addiction.
There are many tips to prevent drug abuse and addiction, but here are some of the most common ones:
Understand how addiction develops.
Addiction is a chronic disease that changes the brain and affects a personโs motivation, memory, judgment, and behavior. The earlier you start using drugs, the higher the risk of becoming addicted. So, avoiding drugs in the first place is the best prevention.
Avoid peer pressure
-Peer pressure is one of the main reasons why people start using drugs, especially during adolescence. You should stand up for what you believe and choose friends who share your values and respect your choices. Donโt let anyone pressure you into doing something you donโt want to do.
Find the support you need. If you are going through emotional distress, such as depression, anxiety, or trauma, you should seek help from a professional, a trusted adult, or a support group. Drugs are not a solution to your problems, they only make them worse. You should learn healthy coping skills and ways to relax without drugs.
Stay busy and active. Having hobbies, interests, and goals can keep you focused and motivated. You should find activities that you enjoy and that make you happy, such as exercise, music, art, or sports. These activities can also help you relieve stress and improve your physical and mental health.
