Drug addicts seek love, security, amusement, and thus relief from material pain. A positive alternative is available; ie Krsna consciousness. Eternal love and dignified service is available, so the self identity can be healed. Intoxicators are seeking their constitutional position, though they do not usually know what is driving them. Intoxication is good, look at the intoxicated activities of those in Krsna and Mahaprabhu's pastimes; but that intoxication is natural, not artificial. Taking earthly intoxicants can bind one to temporary things, as well as create poverty ,crime, illness, and social troubles. Try to avoid them, take to chanting hare krsna and be vegetarian. Certainly never drink alcohol. So many lives are ruined due to that demonic assault. You will find a much better life if you can find spiritual happiness, and a good destination.
