Ever onwards and we arrive at day 20.
Your views on drugs and alcohol.
Alcohol is a drug and can be equally as destructive as any other drug.
Personally I have no problem with alcohol in moderation but the important phrase there is I have no problem.
For some people alcohol is a huge problem either as a alcoholic or a binge drinker.
My own Father was a functioning alcoholic which means he didn't lay in a gutter drinking cheap booze he held down a job, went about his life but ALWAYS with alcohol in his system, he lived this way and died this way his death certificate read like a text book entry of medical reasons not to abuse alcohol.
I have little empathy for substance misuse blame the person who sells the drug if you like but ultimately it is about saying NO in the first place.
We need more substance misuse education and information for our children, we need more stringent policing and most importantly we need to stop the drugs getting to the streets.
I could go on (and on) about this subject, I doubt there will ever be a solution to drug and alcohol abuse, people will keep doing it and lives will continue to be destroyed.
