7. Financial Stress:
The burden of financial stress can be intolerable for many people. Money pressures can cause people to feel trapped, desperate, and out of control. These feelings lead to emotional and psychological conditions that trigger drug use. Drugs can often help people to forget about their financial responsibilities or avoid dealing with them altogether.
8. Career Pressures:
It is common in today’s society to have your identity tied to your career. For many people, their career places a lot of pressure on them to perform, which is often reflected in their idea of their own self-worth. This type of pressure can cause emotional and psychological stress. To help perform better or alleviate work stress, it’s possible to turn to drugs to help cope, forget failures, or boost performance.
