Alcohol

Let's call Alcohol what it truly is a POISON.  Look at the destruction and devastation that it has wrought. How many brilliant lives have been decimated. Look at the tens of billions in added health care costs and lost productivity, broken lives, DUI's, and marriages.  All for a little firewater.

What is the attraction?

Alcohol ruined my father's life and his marriage.  Why would you trade a drink for giving up your entire life and well being.  You must not think highly of yourself or your future is my guess. The biggest challenge we face is that when we as adults adopt the drinking lifestyle we of course pass this down to our children and the next generation. What a waste. Is this what we really want.

Very interesting how our social lives revolve around alcohol whether it is a sporting event at a bar, a wedding, or a golf outing. Why does everything center around the consumption of alcohol. It has negatively touched all of our lives in some way.

We see how the marketing of alcohol has focus on the younger crowd. How the booze has been sweetened to make it taste like soda.  A multi billion dollar industry separating us from our hard earned cash and our precious health and well being with our children directly in the cross hairs.

We know how over consumption wrecks our bodies and we know many of us have functioning addictions or worse.  Take the step to get help. Stop poisoning our bodies and our lives. People care about you and your well being even when you may not. If you have children, think of them. Is this drink worth it, do I really want my child to remember me as a drunk. Yes, we can change.

Peer pressure is for children and remember we are not in high school any more.

With Love,
