When couples are faced with life changing events or illnesses the balance changes quickly and they will find themselves in the difficult position of facing their own feelings and fears while trying to support each other. People are happiest in relationships where the give and take is about equal. If one person is getting too little from the relationship, then not only are they going to be unhappy with this, the person getting the lion’s share will also be feeling rather guilty about this imbalance. This is reinforced by strong social norms about fairness. In short-term relationships we tend to trade in things, such as swapping or borrowing items or buying drinks, in long term relationships the trade is more emotional.
If they're depressed, they want to become happy. If they are stressed or nervous, they want to relax, and so on. By taking drugs, people often think they can be the person they want to be. The second reason is that they think it makes them seem grown-up and want to rebel. They use drugs even they know that their family or someone don’t like it because they want to against them.

Santos knew that getting involved into cocaine distribution was a highly risky endeavor, but he still pursued the “easy” money. There are probably many inmates in the correctional systems able to turn their lives in a positive direction, but because of the limited resources available, their hopes of accomplishing this goal become impossible. Some of the wardens in the
You don’t always have to spend, spend, spend to have fun, fun , fun.

She also had a nicotine addiction.
