drugs or alcohol?

[Cryptsafe]

Nobody wants to associate with a drunk not to talk of being called a relation to a drunk. It is very disappointing and makes one lose respect. Being a drunk is not worth it and as a matter of fact, it spoils reputation and deprives one of any benefit due them in some cases. I remember back then in my university days, there was this lecturer that is very popular and brilliant, he had done lots of research and collaborations with various universities. He has lectured for over 17 years and counting but till this moment, he has been deprived of professorship as a result of his drinking habit, it is well known among the lecturers and till this moment they have deprived him of that rank which he ought to have attained before now. These are one of the effect of being a drunk, it just messes up ones opportunities and live them frustrated.

You’re right!
Having a bad habit (not just being addicted to alcohol but also other associated bad habits) can indeed deprive one of certain opportunities that may have easily just been given to him with ease, this is often because people may end up having this mentality that you’re not completely reliable and dependable as you may end up doing something that may ruin the reputation or the responsibility that was given to you, so they’d rather give it someone else that they believe is much trustworthy regardless of your expertise or your experience and knowledge, you could still end up losing that opportunity.

You could have a bad habit too and can be able to control it but letting it outpace you  is the problem because it would render you incapable and unreliable in the eyes of the public. You know how frustrating it could be when you are tagged such name that is why you are advised to always make sure you are law abiding and be free of anything that could dent ones image and reputation in the society.

Bad Habits can indeed be controlled easily, but not when it has turned into an addiction, at this point, the person with those habits loses total control and no matter how hard they try. and like we know already, sometimes, we may not even know when those habit may turn to addictions, we may only realize it when it becomes clear that those habits have suddenly become part of us and we can't help but oblige whenever we get the urge to do those things.

and when an individual has arrived at this stage, no matter how much you try to maintain a good reputation or good name, it becomes impossible because sometimes those habits can spiral out of control and you end up dong something you didn't plan to, thereby giving the society a misconception of the person's true nature.

You are right bad habits if not controlled at an early stage turns into an addiction and it is very dangerous at such point in ones life because the public would really not speak good of that person and that would dent that person's image and leave a stigma with their reputation.

There is this guy  I have known for quite a long time before now, I noticed something about him which I commend him for. One might see it as him not being able to take decision or him wanting people to validate him, but that is not the truth. Could you believe that this guy would always meet me and ask me a question that if there is anything I have observed him doing which is not right or I think would affect him.in the future that I can say it to him to immediately make corrections. I would look at him and ask him if he is wanting me to validate his actions or what but he will tell me no that it is not really what I am thinking. He said he does that and it is really helping him alot to checkmate his lifestyle and activities so as to make sure he is not making any wrong moves in life.
I actually commend him for that because these days you barely see anything of such nature happening as people would tell you that they don't need anybody's validation on how they live their lives. It is just a mind your business things you know.

When growing up habit s is one thing that needs to be checked from time to time especially when it is not in the positive direction like taking of drugs or alcohol as they are dangerous to the health and future of the individual when growing up because when habit's are not checkmated properly by both parents and the person involved it turns out to be a character or part of the individual involved

This is one of the reasons that parents should as much as possible hides or not display certain things that they do in front of their children because children learn fast what ever we do as parents our children take it in into their subconsciousness and over time they display such characters

Every society has their moral standard, what's forbidden here might be a norm in another place you know. There are some places where people offer their family to high profile visitors for comfort and happiness and they see it as norm while in my places, that isn't normal in my own book of morality, this is similar to alcohol intake in some regions.

I just think that as a human being, he what a normal person should do, don't take alcohol because everyone is taking it and don't smoke because you were pressured to do it. Leave your norm life and have fun like every normal person is supposed to do.

Maybe this will still be another season or time for some people to get drunk as usual, because we are marking the end of the year and all they could reason or think of is to make themselves get drunk and be satisfied with that, but they would have then forgotten that there is always a negative aspect of anything we do that makes us lose our memory and self, it may be as enjoyment to some but has a future repercussion.

None is better, both drugs and alcohol are bad for our body. When it becomes the habit, it can be bad for our financial stability as well. So, as long as you can stay away from them, it is better free from drugs and alcohol. TBH, I never try drugs or alcohol, I am aware that healthy life should be the priority. Especially when you are already growing old.

You are right that it is good for parents to always checkmate their children to observe their activities and engagements so as not to get involved in drug's and drinking lifestyle. This made me to remember a conversation in a public commercial on the 31st December 2024 when I was traveling,  A Man was talking about how his father who was a principal disciplined him and his siblings till they grew up. He further said that at the age of 25 his father would call him whenever he is returning home to smell his mouth if he drank or smoked and that has kept him to do away with those things till date and he owe his father much gratitude for instilling that discipline in him and his siblings.

If parents could be this courageous to do such at that age then it would be very helpful but these days, the issue of above 18 has eaten deep into the society that every child wants to claim independent and do things on their own forgetting that they are still very not mature enough to do things on their own and this has caused so many youths their lives.

This is very true, most habits or character that children learn is mostly from their home, you know what they say about Charity beginning at home, unfortunately, it’s not just charity that begins at home but every other aspect of the child’s life. It’s true that children are mostly influenced by peer pressure but if they’ve not really seen a trace of that character before from their parents or home, it’ll be very difficult for such a character to sink into the child, so as parents, guardians and people who have younger siblings who are looking up to them, we need to be very careful with the kind of behaviour we introduce to the kids around us, whether directly or indirectly because those are the kind of behaviours that sinks in faster.

Well, it depends on the situation and abuse. When you abuse drugs or drink excessively, it is bad. Except for this, I see nothing negative in drugs or alcohol. Some drugs have potential health benefits, and they are sometimes prescribed to people who have specific illnesses. Do you know that cocaine can act as a vasoconstrictor? Even some of the pills we take contain elements of these drugs that we perceive as harmful.

I have seen people who do not use drugs or alcohol but are unreasonable, and others who consume alcohol moderately reason better. The issue is not the consumption of drugs or alcohol, but rather their abuse. It is bad to abuse substances because it will have a negative impact on your behavior at the time and even your health at the long run which is not good.

Too much of everything is bad, and that's why whatever we are doing, it needs to be done to the lowest minimal to avoid addiction. It same with gambling and the other societal vices, very easy to become addicted but hard to come out of addiction. I drink but occasionally, because I can do without drinking.

I think your missing something here we're not talking about drugs that are taken when someone is sick or down with a medical condition in such cases drugs are taken to save the life of the person strictly on a qualified doctor's prescription but the context of the thread we are discussing is is wether any of the two substance either drugs or alcohol is good so on this ground I will not say wether drugs are good or not because when ever someone takes any drugs out side of a doctor's prescription it's bad and can lead to an addiction which could later lead to other health challenges so I will not support any of the two because both are not good for your health

Indeed, when one learns to moderate their habits, it reduces the risk of addiction. A lot of people drink for several reasons and yet some end up getting addicted to alcohol, the same alcohol that some people consume for fun and for other good reasons, is still the same alcohol that ends up messing some other persons up, it’s just a matter of perception and the individual’s a level of self control.

I think there should be moderation whenever there is an observation of anything done in excess. Being moderate could help checkmate ones activities and making sure they are at equilibrium.  Doing this could help one control themselves whenever they notice that they have crossed their limits or boundaries as the case may be but however, being discipline could play a good role by helping to enforce good manners.

It should not just be drinking that should be the concern, but what you are drinking because there are people who are drinking good wine, have been drinking for a long time, and have not had any health complications, unlike those who are consuming items that are imitations of the original, even if they do it occasionally.

We have to be careful of what we consume because it is not just alcohol and drugs that are dangerous these days.
