Your
recovery can make a difference not only in your
own life and in the lives of those you care about,
but also in the life of the community at large.
Alcohol and drugs are a factor in the majority of
auto accidents, drownings, and violent and
nonviolent crimes.
They contribute to child and
spouse abuse, broken families, and broken lives.
The illness and other mayhem they cause is
responsible for the drain of billions of dollars
of public funds, funds that could be put to better
use.
What you can do to turn this situation around
if you are inclined to help is spelled out late in
our program.
Some people succeed in getting sober but spend
the rest of their lives being miserable. Our
program can help you avoid their mistakes. We
don't promise that it will make your life perfect
- nobody's life is. You'll still have problems -
everybody does, it's part of being human.
But
following the basic tenets of recovery can improve
the way you cope. And, that, ultimately, can bring
happiness to you and to those you love. |
