My High School Alcohol and Drug Abuse Class

When I was a sophomore in high school, I took a substance abuse class. At that age, I did not realize that alcohol abuse in truth was a sub category of drug abuse. While taking this class and learning more about drug and alcohol abuse, I read a lot about Alcoholic Anonymous, their meetings, how their programs have twelve steps, and how successful the Alcoholics Anonymous recovery program has been for people all through the world. I also learned quite a bit about alcohol treatment and the diverse alcohol rehab clinics that are regularly available to individuals who engage in hazardous drinking.

Some of the dangerous end results associated with alcoholism and alcohol abuse that I learned about in this class unquestionably alarmed me. The ruined lives and many problems experienced by most alcoholics made me feel like I never wanted to drink alcohol when I became old enough.

What youth wants to encounter alcohol withdrawals when he or she tries to stop drinking? Why would an individual engage in drinking to such an extent that it would cause serious issues in every area of his or her life? Drinking later in life after an individual has a career, a family, and develops personal responsibilities makes sense. But why would a young person want to sacrifice his or her education, employment, finances, and relationships for a life that revolves around irresponsible drinking?

These issues were so meaningful that I talked about some of them in class throughout the school year. What was entirely astonishing to me was the number of students who essentially didn’t care about the dangerous consequences of abusive drinking that I discussed. It was almost as if they couldn’t be troubled with the truth and how these results can demolish their lives. For the first time in my life I started to comprehend something that my grandfather used to say to me all through my youth: you can lead a horse to water but you can’t make it drink.

Skin Care Goal - Aspirin as a Facial Mask?

This week I’m trying to work on my acne prone skin (adult acne really sucks) by trying an aspirin mask that has been generating a lot of buzz online. I read about it at makeupalley.com, a site where people review all sorts of beauty products. It seems to be a miracle cure for some, even helping with red marks and hyperpigmentation, so I thought I’d give it a shot. It can’t hurt and it’s super cheap!!
