Belinda Carlisle from the girls rock band the Go-Go’s was recently interviewed on Fox411 about her drug use. The band was hugely successful in the ‘80’s. They were innovative, aggressive, wrote their own original songs and were the first female band to play their own instruments. Unfortunately, with this popularity and lifestyle came a drug addiction to cocaine that lasted 30 years. She admits to Fox that she can’t believe she’s still alive after all the years of drug abuse and that her nose is still intact! Thankfully, Belinda has been sober for 8 years now and would like others to know it’s not a path to choose.

Cocaine is one of the most abused stimulants in America today. Young adults from ages 18 – 25 have the highest rate of use. It is a highly addictive drug that tends to take effect quickly and wear off quickly. Often users tend to binge and crash because the drug only last for 3 hours, so as they are coming down from the high, they will take more. This pattern generally goes on for a long period until the user becomes exhausted and slows down or stops the use for a while.

Research has shown that individuals who have low self-esteem or anxiety, depression or psychosis tend to develop an addiction more frequently. If you are wondering if you are possibly addicted to cocaine, ask yourself some of the following questions:

  • How often do you use cocaine?
  • Does it affect your ability to get to work?
  • Have you experienced chest pains or irregular heartbeats when using?
  • Do you experience nosebleeds or frequent sinus infections?
  • Do you crave it?
  • Is cocaine use affecting you financially?
  • Are you using the drug alone?
  • Has anyone suggested that you may have a problem?

If you have answered yes to a few of these questions, it’s time to consider a drug education class before it’s too late. The goal of drug classes is to teach the participants about drug use, abuse, dependency and the legal ramifications. Students can expect to learn about the different types of drugs and how these drugs affect the mind and body. Drug classes are excellent tool to use to learn the reasons why getting high is just not worth it in the long run. Classes will teach new skills for overcoming and avoiding the continued use and abuse of drugs, as well as what is in store for you legally if you are caught for drug possession.

The easiest, most relaxed and convenient way to learn this material is to take your drug class online. Participants can enroll for a 8, 12, 15, 16, 20 or 24 hour time span, from anywhere in the United States where web-access is available. The education is learned completely from the computer screen, so there are no workbooks, no paperwork or assignments to print out. Taking an online class also gives the student complete anonymity. No one needs to know that you have enrolled in the course unless it has become a legal issue and a judge or probation officer is involved.

Learn how and why to take the responsibility of straightening your life out with an online drug class. The educational support will help you to make better decisions before you end with serious health or legal ramifications.
