ABSTRACT

No one intends to become addicted to drugs. Unfortunately, many of us do. e pattern of addiction begins with an individual, who, like most people in our society, is well intentioned and has hopes, goals, and dreams for the future. My husband had hopes, goals, and dreams. His addiction was not planned; it usually never is. e general attitude is “I can stop anytime I want to” or “I won’t get addicted, other people do.”
