Many substance abusers cannot see the impact their usage has on their lives and performance. Why?
Substance usage impairs learning, memory recording & retrieval, mental sharpness, and motor skills during and long after usage and has an addiction/disease component.
Substance usage acts as a “chemically induced learning disability” that can have lasting effects and permanent changes in the brain. An impaired brain is impaired in self-evaluation ability.

Characterized by repeated failures to control use, increased tolerance, and increased disruption in the family
