Oct. 9, 2024 – In a recent New York Times essay, Patti Davis, daughter of former president Ronald Reagan, reflects on the destructive power of addiction in her life. She describes waiting with others to snort cocaine, despite witnessing the physical harm it caused a fellow user. Davis recalls a fleeting moment of clarity about the toll of her addiction, but this awareness was quickly overwhelmed by her desire for the drug.
Davis illustrates how the appeal of drugs lies in their ability to fulfill a deep, almost primal craving. Even when faced with clear evidence of harm, her desire for cocaine eclipsed any rational thought or instinct for self-preservation.
