UNGUARDED THE CHRIS HERREN STORY 1.

What was Chris Herrens’ addiction and what do you feel was the cause of his addiction? Chris Herrens’ was addicted to drugs and dangerous substance at different periods of his lifetime and he had mentioned time when he was using alcohol, heroin, cocaine, and smoking pot and lastly oxycontin. I feel that the cause of his addiction was related to the amount of pressure that he is receiving about being a great basketball player that no one has ever seen before in that area. It seemed like he had to carry the weight of his hometown throat and therefore to relieve himself he started to use drugs.

2. Do you think his addiction could have been prevented and how?

He could have also prevented substance abuse by searching for other hobbies and activities that could help himself feel less pain and struggles. 3. Who were the “enablers” in Chris’ life? Explain how they enabled him. The enablers in Chris’s life were his friends by peer pressuring him to do drugs along with them.

He was also caught out by the people in his everyday life most predominantly his roommates and drug dealers as his every day motivation is dependent on dealers. 4. Could you have the courage to help someone with an addiction or would you be the enabler? I would have the courage to help someone quit an addiction because I will not have the guilt of ruining someone’s life. It would also help me develop successful character traits along different

moments of my life. Finally, in my opinion it is my responsibility to help someone from this situation as a citizen of this country. 5. Why did Chris go to Boston College?
