Is it safe to take a 60 mg morphine to combat percocet withdrawal?

If there is any chance to get addicted of asthma inhaler?

The compounds in asthma inhalers (rescue type fast acting, long term multiple use, epi, steroids) are not clinically addictive in that they do not modify the body's function in such a way that normal function can only be achieved by chronic dosage -- the old definition of "addiction". These meds, however, have the potential to be habituating. Think of it this way: * You feel bad * You take a relatively fast-acting medication * you feel better This is the formula for a behaviorist's training pattern, isn't it? Note that, chocolate works well in this pattern too :} I'd hesitate to call this addictive, but habituating? Yes, potentially.

Why do people think drugs are cool?

Drugs are cool because:

They mess with receptors in the brain in a different way than they usually function- producing a temporary, but really cool feeling. Most drugs, especially just marijuana don't alter basic body functions. You can still read, breathe, blink etc.. you can still control your actions- there are just a few more good- feeling chemicals up there. Everything is a drug. No matter what you do, its going to have some sort of effect on you. Why not make it something fun? I've had some of the best times of my life high as a cloud =]. I look at being high as just a potential. You know what you gotta do. The only reason illegal drugs are illegal is because the government can't make money off of them. I love the stuff.

Sincerely-

HighTillIDie-

The question was, why do people think drugs are cool. Not how you like to get high. Drugs are NOT cool, they cause many deaths. You can harm yourself..or even others. I bet there are some girls out there who think your cool because u do that stuff but your not. Illegal drugs are illegal because they are life threatening. Hey! im only 14 and i know more than you. and yes, most things can be used as drugs, but its how YOU use them.

Who do you go to about gambling addiction ?

First you need to let the person know you are there for them and that because you care for them you can see how this addiction is destroying them. The next thing to do is get professional help. This isn't something that can be cured by self-help books etc. An anonymous gambling help group, like AA, is one of the best ways to recover simply because you are supported and surrounded by others who are going through the same experience. Lastly let that person know continuously that you are there for them and will support them in their journey to live better.
