I chose this picture because it shows darkness and fear, which I think is a big cause of drug abuse and addiction. The person feels cornered and alone, with no one around to help so they have to turn to the one thing that does nothing but harm. I also liked this picture because of the lack of colour in it to show that when you start feeling like you’re alone, it would be as though all your happiness has been taken away and you’re only left with yourself.

Empathy
Empathy means understanding each others feelings by metaphorically being in the others shoes and visualizing the other person’s perspective. It is a major component of being supportive to any close friend or relative in treatment for abuse or addiction. I chose this visual because of it’s representation of two people working together to create one whole which is what empathy is about in the end; building towards new understanding. It incorporates not only knowing and identifying with each other, but also creating a new bond.
