Self Sabotage: Substance Abuse

One of the best methods for sabotaging your life is substance abuse. If you’re not too drunk or stoned to function as an employee, a spouse or a parent you are too sick from your hangover, “crash” or “jonesing” to be able to function. Then there is all the money you spend on your habit which causes problems between you and your family and friends. If you truly want to trash your life develop a drinking or a drug problem.


If you can’t develop a habit on your own, marry an alcoholic or a drug addict. You can almost destroy your life as well just by being involved in their self destruction. You end up lying to people for them to cover up their drinking or drugging. They spend your money and totally violate your trust in every possible way. You end up spending all of your time and energy dealing with the addiction.
