The unborn baby can actually become a drug or alcohol addict even before he is born.
When you are pregnant, it is important that you watch what you put into your body. Consumption of illegal drugs is not safe for the unborn baby or for the mother. Studies have shown that consumption of illegal drugs during pregnancy can result in miscarriage, low birth weight, premature labor, placental abruption, fetal death, and even maternal death. The following information can help you understand these drugs and their effects.

How Can Drugs and Alcohol Affect Your Mental/Emotional Well Being?
Question by x0523e: How can drugs and alcohol affect your Mental/Emotional well being?
Best answer:
Answer by Green Alien
Drugs & alcohol kills brain cells. That can’t be good!
Answer by K.
If you’re talking about medications prescribed for you by your doctor, and take them as prescribed, you are helping your emotional well-being. If you don’t take them or if you abuse them you’re only hurting yourself. If you’re talking about street drugs, well, only idiots do that so you’re not helping your emotional well-being at all, if fact you’d be doing damage to your body and brain.
Alcohol is a known depressant to the body and mind. I know you read and hear on the news about all the fatalities caused by drunk drivers, the number of those arrested for DUIs, so that should answer your questions about alcohol.
I don’t know if any of this is an answer to your question.
Trying to Help My Angry Alcoholic Drug Abusing Sister. PLEASE HELP.?
Question by : trying to help my angry alcoholic drug abusing sister. PLEASE HELP.?
my 18 year old sister is a severe alcoholic. i know she uses drugs, but i am not sure of what kind and how often. she is living with her boyfriend who has been to many different rehabs across the country and either gets kicked out or just leaves the program. he was addicted to intravenous heroin and alcohol. and is exceedingly wealthy and pays for all the drugs and alcohol, he is an ultimate enabler. he tells her that i am a liar and that i am trying to control her life by trying to help her, and that i am really not trying to help her at all. they hang out with two guys that the boyfriend met in rehab who have relapsed. my sister just got out of jail for putting a ciggarette out on her boyfriends neck and for punching him repeatedly in the face resulting in a black eye. someone that was in the house called the cops on them, and the boyfriend wouldnt press charges. i tried to pick her up from the jail and the boyfriend lied to me about what time she was getting out so i couldnt. i was going to try to have an “informal intervention” with her. i am at a loss. she was completely un phased by this experience, and is always un phased by the catastrophes that come from her addiction. i just recently found out that she was date raped by an acquaintance who house she was couch surfing at awhile ago, and my mother says that she fears that, that wasnt the first time she was date raped. she is showing signs of jaundice and is sick alot of the time. she can not control herself. this time it was a cigarette but maybe next time it will be a knife, and i am terrified and feel nauseous and overwhelmed from trying to help her. she has been stealing money from me and i just dont know what to do! i have been searching online for hours trying to think of something.
she is also the most avoident person there is. please any advice will greatly help!
Mom Is Ddicted to Painkillers?
Question by Nutzzzzz: Mom is ddicted to painkillers?
We have talked with her about getting into treatment. She refuses, even though it is clear that her addiction is getting worse. I don’t blame her for being addicted, but I definitely don’t want to see her continue to steal pills, perhaps eventually stealing money, overdosing and losing her entire life. I am beside myself as to if I should do anything, nothing, or just sit back and let whatever happens, happen. I don’t want her to lose her job, but she may not only lose her job, but go to jail based on her addiction. Ideas???
