The key is to be informed. Why? Because it could save someone’s life.
Somebody out there is in danger of making the choice that could change a dozen lives in one day: it’s a terrible choice, and it’s called slitting the wrists. Suicide.
And the horrifyingly amazing thing is what causes suicide: addiction.
It’s simple! It’s all about addiction. Substance abuse is centered around addiction. When you have an individual that has no recourse but to turn to all kinds of ‘pleasures,’ you know there’s going to be a serious problem. Very soon the addiction will simply take over the real world; but it won’t be enough….
It’s just a substitute. And it’s never satisfying. Someone suffering from substance abuse and addiction will always keep coming back for more — and more — and more, until reality will vanish, leaving nothing but despair.
And that despair will turn to a life that’ll end in seconds. It’s something to seriously avoid.
