    Hi, my name is John DePalma from New York
    City on behalf of Expert Village I'm here
  • 0:05 - 0:12
    today to help you recognize drug and alcohol
    addiction. Now turning with withdraw, which
  • 0:12 - 0:19
    most people associate with somebody who is
    trying to quit and going through withdraw.
  • 0:20 - 0:27
    Addicts and alcoholics go through withdraw
    on a day to day basis in between their fixes.
  • 0:28 - 0:35
    An alcoholic who drinks all night, goes home
    goes to bed and wakes up, he needs that next
  • 0:35 - 0:41
    drink, that's his withdraw time. The time
    from when he wakes up to when he gets in front
  • 0:41 - 0:47
    of that bar again and gets his next drink.
    Someone using cocaine when they run out of
  • 0:47 - 0:53
    money, when they run out of drug, their withdraw
    time is until they can score again. Same thing
  • 0:53 - 1:00
    with heroin users and many other drug users.
    Some drugs withdraw is not as great as others,
  • 1:00 - 1:07
    but withdraw time is a drug addicts worse
    nightmare and it's the time that you can probably
  • 1:07 - 1:13
    see the drug addiction the most in someone.
    So these are the times when you can see who
  • 1:13 - 1:16
    they really are and see what you need to look
    out for.
