By Chris Baker, Los Angeles Times

The Dead-End Street of Substauce Abuse
by Curt Warner

I'm not involved in drugs. I don't have that need. Drugs are a dead-end street; they go nowhere. In the simplest of terms, drugs make no sense. I ask the question: why do something that is so detrimental to your body and to your mind? Why do something that becomes an obsession and an unnatural need? As a football player, I know that drugs have no place in the game, or in life. If a player uses them, it's just a matter of time before that player is damaged and incapable of performing his job. Pay now or pay later, it does not matter, because drugs ruin careers and lives; that's a certainty, not a maybe. There is not a single moment of genuine growth or integrity that arises as a result of drug and alcohol abuse.

Not one.

The only certainty is that drug and alcohol abuse will lead straight to disaster and ruin.

A lot of people are searching for fulfillment and meaning in their lives. Sometimes, people choose to take the short and temporary routes, opting for instant gratification in an attempt to ease their pain and lack of satisfaction. However, any so-called "gratification"—in reality is a chemical reaction that has no connection with improving the quality of an individual's life—is fleeting and wasteful. One's problems in the real world do not vanish or become solved by the lies produced by drugs and alcohol. I'm a Christian, and this gives me the assurance and the stability that I need to be successful. I know who I am and what I am without needing to be swayed by the opinions or actions of those who surround me. Christianity gives me the freedom to live my life without drugs. I've already found fulfillment. I have faith in God.

One can't hide from oneself or from the world. Eventually, unless dealt with, the problems in life overwhelm an individual and it becomes glaringly evident that drugs and alcohol have simply added to the hardships that are already present.

My advice to the young reader, fan , or player is to go out there and use your natural gifts and accept the challenges and opportunities that life has to offer. Don't fool yourself with drugs and alcohol.
