Answer:
Temptation and Drug Use
One common reason many people, professionals included, abuse drugs, is because of their inability to gauge how much temptation they personally can handle. Rick Nauert describes the results of a study which found that most people perceive themselves as having more restraint than they actually do, and that this in turn leads to an increased likelihood of poor decision-making. The study explored the tendency of people to assume that they can bear more temptation than they actually can. This “restraint bias” tends to make them more likely to engage in an impulsive or addictive behavior.
