Why do some turn to drugs or alcohol to numb the pain while some just suffer?
Why is it that some people , upon living through a breakup, then being a victim of vandalism or other painful life occurrence turn to drugs or drink while other people just feel the pain and become depressed and/or cry? What causes the difference in how someone chooses to deal with disaster? It seems to me the first way I outlined could lead to even more problems while the second approach could lead to resolution and acceptance.
