What Addicts Cause

Couple arguing

“What they don’t know, won’t hurt them.” We often justify our wrong doings with the idea the action we’re taking only effects ourselves. Regardless of whether someone else can objectively see what it is we’re doing, one's actions can influence something negative in another's life.

As a child, I remember watching my mother stumble into the door frame when leaving a room. I looked to my father who had no concern for the broken glass and wine on the floor; if anything he seemed irritated. With each similar incident that occurred, I became more tolerant to that dysfunction.

Just as my parent’s poor decisions caused issues for me, as an adult I have done the same by neglecting to care if my personal choices might impact someone else. My selfish behavior has consequently harmed others when at the time, I was sure I was the only one involved. Whether it’s as insignificant as leaving a small piece of trash on the ground or as life altering as using drugs, our actions cause a domino effect. With each wrong action, the next seems not so bad.

No matter how small our bad choices seem, they affect everyone and everything surrounding us. Without coming to Narconon I may have never taken responsibility for how much my actions affect those around me.”
