the Straight Dope
“We are our own devils; we drive ourselves out of our Edens.”
~Wolfgang Goethe
As someone who fought addiction as a teenager and had engaged in destructive behaviours while growing up, I see the correlation between negative lifestyle choices and the impact it has not only on you but those who care about you,
~Buddha Sadu Gains

“The effects of unresolved trauma can be devastating. It can affect our habits and outlook on life, leading to addictions and poor decision-making. It can take a toll on our family life and interpersonal relationships. It can trigger real physical pain, symptoms, and disease. And it can lead to a range of self-destructive behaviors.”
~Peter A. Levine
“The point is… people who are unhappy with their station in life and don’t change it end up developing all sorts of self-destructive habits. I’m telling you this as a friend.”
~Douglas Paszkiewicz
“As you go down the spiral of self-afflicting negative behavior, take note of the actions you take, because you will have to undo these actions whenever you decide to win yourself back from the illusion.”
~Dr. Jacinta Mpalyenkana, PhD, MBA
“If you genuinely care about someone, you won’t let them ruin themselves. It’s as simple as that.
Don’t use your ‘supportive friend’ excuse to justify your ignorance.
If someone in your life is living a self-destructive lifestyle, don’t encourage them. Don’t stand on the sidelines and watch. Do something.
Tell them they’re worth more than that. That they’re bigger than what they’re facing. Tell them there are better ways to heal. Better ways to grow.
Tell them they can be friends with better people.Tell them there’s no escape from reality but it only gets better if you face it. Tell them they’re killing themselves slowly by intaking drugs.
Tell them you love them and don’t want them to get hurt. Tell them that you care.
~Ambu
