The effects that a drug and alcohol addiction can have on a person's career can be devastating. However a person suffering from a drug and alcohol addiction very often won't even realize that their career is spiralling into a death dive. It is a horrible occurrence to witness, but occurs all too often. There are thousands of persons who suffer from a drug and alcohol addiction, and along with them, themselves they are slowly killing the career they once cherished.
A career that took years to construct may take only one incident due to drug and alcohol addiction to ruin. People spend years in school, then further on at universities, preparing for their career. A common career choice which is easily ruined by a drug and alcohol addiction is one in business. A business career may entail working for a large international company, or a career in the non-profit sector, which is a far less glamorous career choice. Once a person has a drug and alcohol addiction, however, the damage that drug and alcohol addiction can do to the career is inestimable. You must occasionally stop and think of the long term ramifications of drug and alcohol addiction in the overall business world.
Perhaps someone works for a non-profit which aids those who have lost their homes. A noble choice of a career, to help those who are less fortunate. But how is that career affected by the drug and alcohol addiction? The career is easily completely devastated and ruined beyond hope of recovery. The worst effects however, are to the clients who once benefited from the career of the drug and alcohol addict. In smaller non-profits, the thoughtless actions of the drug and alcohol addict may cause the non-profit to have to close it's doors entirely! Quite a hard result, isn't it?
Now take someone involved in international business for a career. How does their drug and alcohol addiction effect their career? Once again, it can completely devastate the career. The drug and alcohol addiction in a global business may also effect even the persons on the street if large business activities are ended, or limited by an episode in the career of a drug and alcohol addict that causes the business deal to fall through. As you can clearly see the career of someone who has a drug and alcohol addiction can have far reaching effects. The effects are not just limited to the career of the person with the drug and alcohol addiction.
