“I can stop whenever I want.”
Addiction isn’t a lack of willpower, it’s a complex condition that changes the brain, and it can affect anyone.
Warning signs may include:
• Using substances to cope with stress or emotions
• Needing more to feel the same effect
• Hiding use from others
• Neglecting responsibilities
• Changes in mood, sleep, or physical appearance
• Trouble stopping even when wanting to
Recovery is possible, and help is within reach.
