Like many bad habits, people will often try to hide their drug use. They are likely trying to hide it for various reasons such as they don’t want to get in trouble – rather at work or at home – and/or they know it is dangerous, they are embarrassed, or all of the above. However, as much as they might want to hide it, it is nearly impossible to hide drug use for an extended period of time. Drug use will make you do things you normally wouldn’t do, act a way you normally wouldn’t act, and might also cause physical changes that will be noticeable to those around you.
