Misusing alcohol, tobacco, and other drugs can have both immediate and long-term health effects.

The misuse and abuse of alcohol, tobacco, illicit drugs, and prescription medications affect the health and well-being of millions of Americans. NSDUH estimates allow researchers, clinicians, policymakers, and the general public to better understand and improve the nation’s behavioral health. These reports and detailed tables present estimates from the 2021 National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH).

Alcohol

The percentage of people who were past month binge drinkers was highest among young adults aged 18 to 25 (29.2% or 9.8 million people), followed by adults aged 26 or older (22.4% or 49.3 million people), then by adolescents aged 12 to 17 (3.8% or 995,000 people).

Self-digging always backfires. It only makes our misery worse. It is a heroic attempt to solve a problem that cannot be solved. Because in order to fight misfortune, you need a completely different state of consciousness.

If you live in the present moment and treat your thoughts and emotions as passing messages like sounds, sights, smells, tastes and touches, then these thoughts and emotions will not drown out the signals of the senses - signals that can keep us from sinking into negative thoughts.

When we feel bad, we start to introspect, because we believe that this will open the way for us to solve our problems. But the opposite always happens: our ability to solve problems is clearly degraded. And there is plenty of evidence for this, indicating that introspection is part of the problem, not the solution.

The habit of judging oneself severely disguises itself as an attempt to help oneself be better and live better, but in reality this habit begins to behave like an unreasonable and insatiable tyrant, for whom everything is not enough.

So, when we return to a certain mood, memories and thoughts related to it automatically pop up in our minds, whether we like it or not. and with them those thought patterns that were created then, in that mood.

When we stop trying: • to impose pleasant feelings on oneself, they arise more freely on their own; • resist unpleasant feelings, we find that they can go away on their own; • do something, then a whole world of vivid and unexpected impressions can become available to us.

Freedom from depression is possible, but that freedom comes from a completely new vision and understanding of the true nature of the problem - this understanding will serve as a map leading us through new territory within our own lives and our experience, where we can discover and use the deep inner resources of the mind that most of us did not even know existed.
