Last night or rather this morning, I sent a letter out to some friends about this site and the importance of it.   This was the response that I received from one my friends:

“Dear David:  Unfortunately for most a merely (social drink) turns into a habit, and ruins the individual-as well as those  within the influence of  the  imbiber. In the socialist Society, alcohol is called the (opium of the people). So the weakening of the will,and the control of the tyrants -is made easier for them by  a drinking population…”

Very interesting, isn’t it.  Those who seek to control others would like to see us drug and alcohol addicted.  Maybe it is a concept that you would dismiss?  But, in certain times and certain circumstances, it may very well be true. 

Here was the original note I sent out about this site:

Acknowledging that drugs and alcohol is a big problem in our society and in fact, virtually all communities across the world,
 I’ve decided that I want to do something about it.  

Drug and alcohol abuse is a serious problem and I believe it will  continue to grow – and it will attempt to engulf our children and  other vulnerable loved ones.   This is a problem that will not find a social or community based  solution.

 However, there is a way to fix it.  But it is merely on the  individual level.  This is because each person has a choice to be addicted or not. Yes, it takes a strong will to break an addiction – and to keep  that addiction broken. But it has been done before and can be
 done again – if only the will is there.

 That is why I created a new site.

 Please join me by reading the stories and possibly sharing your own  at :

 You can do it anonymously too – Unless you choose not to.   Sharing your story will be good for you and good for others too.
 But if you are content just to read the other stories there  already – by all means, feel free.

 Please help by spreading the NEWS about this site.  Together we can build a resource that will serve all communities  world wide by sharing stories – good and bad – in order to help   people see and understand the reality of drug or alcohol use and  abuse.
