They give us strength, relief, happiness, & peace!! Only problem is that it is short term joy and quickly dwindles once the moment is gone. It's like being intoxicated or getting high, once it wears off all that's left is the pain. People know what we are doing in our secrecy, but we believe that this excuse is the best one ever, "after all I would believe it if someone told that to me", we tell ourself.
Ocassionally, we forget how many times we've used those same excuses and when we keep repeating them, others chuckle under their breath while they watch the show we are putting on. In our mind we are masterful actors winning the sympathy of all. But in their minds we are a pitiful mess, and we by the way, are real bad actors. Try telling the truth and say, "no I want to use". (Or whatever your vice is.) At least others will then have to respect you for being truthful.
