Question

When would walking away be an effective strategy to use when wanting to resist drugs.

Answer 1

In every situation. The best way to deal with addiction is to walk away from it, not confronting it. Do something that entertains you, do something that you've never tried before. Addiction is mostly there because you either have tons of free time, or you free your time to use it towards your addiction.

Answer 2

Walking away is an effective strategy if someone is continuing to pressure you to use drugs after you have declined. Walking away also may be the only option if you are feeling as if you may give in to the pressure to use. Removing yourself entirely from a tempting situation will most likely help in taking your mind off the pressure, as well.
