Drugs and Substance Abuse as the Destroyer of one's Bright Future

Substance abuse isn't something you should take lightly. It occurs when you use alcohol, prescription medicine, and other legal and illegal substances too much or in the wrong way. Substance abuse differs from addiction. Many people with substance abuse problems are able to quit or can change their unhealthy behavior. Addiction, on the other hand, is a disease. It means you can’t stop using even when your condition causes you harm.

It is learned from those already involved in the practice. Bandura and Walter developed a „social learning theory‟ of personality which supports this fact. To them, this theory is based on the premise that behavior is learned, and personality can be explained in terms of cumulative effects of a series of learning experiences.
