5 Shocking Reasons Why Celebrities Get Hooked On Drugs And Alcohol. Drug addiction is a serious, chronic and debilitating illness that is very, very difficult to treat. Many talented celebrities across the world have died from drug addiction. Unfortunately we have lost some of our stars here in South Africa to death due to drug and alcohol abuse.
1. Temporary Escape From Reality
Celebrities are still human beings dealing with every kind of emotion. These challenging emotions can be further compounded by the high stresses of the entertainment industry. One possible motivation for celebrities getting hooked on drugs is that they seem to promise a much-needed, albeit temporary, escape from the hardships of reality.
2. Creativity
Not every celebrity uses drugs to escape reality. Some celebrities reason that drugs make them more objective. They experiment with drugs to spark creativity. In the harsh entertainment industry, drugs like heroin give celebrities the confidence to take more risks and take away their fears.
3. Pressures Of The Industry
Sometimes the industry pressure to perform regardless of personal struggles perpetuates the problem. Some celebrities are continuously pressured by their managers and fans to perform even if they are high. Once the addiction becomes so deeply embedded in their public identity and image, a life with drugs and alcohol is almost expected from fans.
4. Easy Access
5. Underlying Medical Conditions
Some celebrities with underlying medical conditions such as depression and bipolar disorder may be at higher risk for trying drugs as a way of numbing emotional pains.
