A drug addict continually feels guilty about the life that addiction has forced him or her to lead.  This guilt leaves the addict resentful, defensive of life choices, irritable and moody. 

              Drug addicts can lead a dishonest life style.  Users of street drugs obtain drugs illegally and the effects drugs have on the addict’s moods alienate those around the individual.  Addicts usually end up stealing money from the ones closest to them in order to support their destructive habit.  Medicine addicts can fake prescriptions and steal to support the addiction.  Alcoholics secret alcohol away, lie and steal to get alcohol. 

              A chemically dependant individual can demonstrate defensiveness about the drug induced life-style they have begun to live.  This defensiveness is the addict’s way of making sense out of this life-style.  The addict defends lifestyle choices, even when the choices are obviously wrong and the person would never have made them previously, if not for the drugs the individual is now addicted to.

              Extreme changes in mood, especially when the suspected addict’s mood has changed for the worse, signals drug addiction.  A drug addict can throw temper tantrums or act resentful – as if “everything is a hassle”.  They often experience unexplained moodiness, irritability or nervousness. 

              The person that used to be easy to live and work with, but is now a terror to be around is exhibiting one of the signs of drug addiction.  While these mood changes are usually caused by the guilt of the addict’s lifestyle changes, the mood changes are also caused by the drug the user is addicted to.  Drugs can cause paranoia, nervousness, irritability, suicidal behavior and more.  The drug addict may be “on edge” constantly and exhibit short temper or flashes of temper – calm one moment and in a raging tirade the next.
