Almost 8.6 million youths ages 12 to 17, over one third of this age group, used alcohol in the past year, data from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Administration (SAMHSA) show. The data, released as part of Alcohol Awareness Month, show more than 650,000 youth (2.6 percent) reported heavy alcohol use, and nine million engaged in at least one delinquent behavior in the past year.

I am an alchoholic. I have been for many years. After getting and staying sober for over thirteen years, I began drinking again. After a long bout with alchohol the second time, I again quit drinking and am sober today. I live in Florida, have two daughters, and am about to become a grandfather. I'm 43 years old. I'm currently seperated due to my past actions. I hope my message and yours, should you have one, will eventually reach thousands of folks just like us.
If you need to contact an Alcoholics Anonymous group, If you need to find a meeting in your area, or you have questions about alcoholism, CLICK HERE.
Many of the links have 24 hour hotlines available.
It is not my goal to preach at you. Youve heard enough of that. I am not here to make money, friends or to gain fame for myself. I want to help others who have developed this ugly disease we call alchoholism. If you are one of these people, male, female, young, old, of any race, religion or ethnic background, I hope you add this site to your favorites. You can visit here daily, read other folks input, even post your own thoughts. It's up to you, stay in touch, or forget you were ever here. I'll be here either way, and I'll be sober. Will you?
I humbly pray, be with me Lord throughout this day. Your hand be on me Your strength be great please keep me sober, please keep me straight. Amen |
