Addiction disorders initially affect the addict. In many cases, you can experience problems with your health - including weight loss or gain, more susceptible to illnesses, disrupted sleep patterns, withdrawal symptoms, etc, as well as more severe health problems. The addiction will also affect your emotional and mental state.
In spite of what you may want to believe, the effects of severe alcohol and drug dependence will usually not keep you from abusing these substances. Particularly, loved ones and family members will find your behavior to be frustrating and heartbreaking. They may even find it very difficult living with you and possibly even refuse to continue living with you so long as you continue to abuse substances. After all, it is difficult to be a good wife, husband, mother, father, or even child while you are constantly under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
Such abuse also affects all of society in general, particularly with respect to public safety. While abusing drugs or alcohol, for example, you may be a danger to yourself and to others - especially if you choose to drive while high or drunk.
