This is my entry to the Freewrite writing prompt for the day, DEPENDENCE.
Dependence turns to overdependence and that easily turns into addiction... The worst of them all.
You can make a case that all sorts of addiction started from being dependent on a particular thing. In this case, the focus is on dependence on substances like drugs or alcohol.
So many people in the society are already crippled by the dependence they have on these substances. Some are struggling in their attempt to break free of that dependence after realizing the unhealthy consequence that's tied to extreme level of dependence.
There are several decades of records and experiences that show us the negative effect of being dependent on these substances. So, it's always a surprise to see people who overlook those consequences and get onboard to take these substances.
At the early stage, most people find inspiring reasons to take these substances. They try to convince themselves that they had no other choice. However, those are just excuses people put forward to ignore the truth that's facing them.
That same excuse push folks to build dependence on these substances until they turn into crackheads, alcoholics, and subsequently become a danger to themselves and those around them.
That's what dependence on such substance does to people.
Now that you know all these... It's left for you to decide to never become dependent on any of those substance.
Make the right choice... Not excuses.
