3. PEOPLE TAKE DRUGS TO GET RID OF UNWANTED SITUATIONS OR FEELINGS.

Anyone who takes drugs does it to avoid problems or get rid of some pain or unwanted feelings, including boredom. To understand why someone takes drugs now, you need to know what was wrong before he or she took them.

He may have had some physical problem which was causing him pain.

Maybe he was unable to sleep.

She may have been trying to calm down.

She may have wanted to feel happier.

The drugs were a temporary solution to the unwanted feelings. To get a real solution, the person would have to fix what was causing the problem in the first place.

WHAT YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT.

By learning and knowing the truth about drugs, you yourself can make the right decision to not use them. You can also help friends and family by sharing what you now know and helping them lead a drug-free life.

Most schools, youth and community groups have anti-drug programs or they belong to a group of people and organizations working together to make their community drug-free. You can do your part by contacting these groups and working with them.

You can also contact a Narconon center near you for help starting a drug prevention and education program near you.

If you know someone who is taking drugs and can’t seem to stop, your nearest Narconon center can help.

The Narconon program is based on the research and discoveries of author and humanitarian L. Ron Hubbard. Narconon centers are open to people of
any race, color, belief or religion.
