Guideline for Proper Use of Stimulants

When considering the use of stimulants like energy drinks, one must assess whether they truly serve to address deeper issues or simply mask them. It is crucial to discern whether these substances help in confronting and resolving underlying problems or merely provide a temporary escape. The focus should be on utilizing stimulants in a way that contributes to long-term well-being rather than perpetuating dependency or avoidance of root causes.
