Addicted to legal drugs

Addiction to anything is bad but when it comes to drugs, it becomes downright dangerous. Not only does it damage you internally but it also damages your relationships with your loved ones who care about you or whom you care about. If it is illegal drugs then you are in danger of being in jail but what to do with drugs which are available easily in any drug store and you can get it off the shelf. Yes it do happen that people have gotten addiction to medicines like cough syrups, sleep pills and even stuff that would not be considered harmful like a headache medicine. The need to get high is so great that people go to extreme lengths to get it. This topic came to my thought while I realized that people need more than one cup coffee to function in the morning. Now don’t get me wrong, I love coffee too and I drink once a day in the early morning (the weekend timings are different) but I control the coffee and the coffee does not control me. If I don’t have my coffee I don’t develop a headache or become cranky or not perky. I enjoy coffee for what it is a beverage, not as a tool to wake me up and eliminate my headache. If you use coffee as a means of making you perky, your body will get used to it and then you will become addicted to it without having much effect on yourself.
