5 general signs that a person may be struggling
with drug addiction

• Avoidance

• Anger

• Lies

• Intoxication

• Becoming The Victim

3
Avoidance

• Try to avoid the reality of emotional or physical
  pain.

• Some want to take a break from the daily
  pressure, stress or even boredom of life.

• Avoidance helps perpetuate the addiction by
  shutting off certain topics of discussion.

4
Anger

• Anger associated with drug addiction is often
  frightening and confusing.

• Anger associated with drug addiction can be
  explosive and dangerous as well.

5
Becoming The Victim

• People who feel victimized can sometimes develop
  a strong sense of entitlement.

• The deeper into drugs they get, the less worthy
  they feel and the harder it becomes to seek help.

6
Lies

• When the addicted person swears they will stop
  doing drugs, pleading for forgiveness and
  understanding of others, but goes back to drug
  abuse time and time again.

• Everyone begins to feel disillusioned and bitter
  about empty promises and lies.

7
Intoxication

• Look for bloodshot eyes, slurred speech,
  stumbling, impaired coordination, emotional
  indifference and an unusual odor on breath, body,
  or clothing.
