One of the best sites, Quora.Com has questions about people who want to escape reality. People are so stuck to their past. They cannot face the reality which includes their previous employers, abusers, and toxic friends. They had rather sink their lives in drugs and alcohol as they try to chase their dreams of living in a utopic world.
In some cases, people are addicted to escaping the harsh realities of life. For example, losing a loved one to death or breaking up. Some people cannot comprehend how life can be without the persons that they loved so much. The result is that someone embraces alcoholism to ensure that life goes on in the utopian world. After some time, the person gets weaned off alcohol and goes into other drugs such as Tramadol and Cocaine.
