Drinking As A Drain

Submitted by Jessica Fri 11/13/2009

I use to think drinking made me cool…especially in college life. But I’ve found out that drinking is sometimes not the way to go. Sure you feel like you’re at the top of the world and nothing can bring you down (at least until you fall down), but you have to realize you can have plenty of fun not drinking. I know the amount of choices in drinks, the flavors, and the sensations are enticing, but you have to ask yourself are they really worth it. I’ve literally walked past my apartment hundreds of times and always saw people passed out in the bushes, drunk and hanging over the railings and I don’t know why I honestly thought that was cool. I’ve come to the conclusion that you only have one life and one body, so you better take care of them both because once you lose them, you can never get them back.

I agree that moving past

I agree that moving past drugs and alcohol addiction is a arduous task. I liked a lot of your blog posts and found them informative as well as uplifting. Instead of simply lamenting, the openess of your posts seem to be sort of inspirational.

For your readers I wanted to share CareFlorida's rehab center information. CareFlorida is a holistically based addiction recovery center located in North Palm Beach Florida. CareFlorda offers patients a unique guarantee- if relapse happens in the first six months after graduating their program, patients are welcomed back into the program and given a weeks’ worth of treatment for free.

I hope this holiday season we can help someone become healthy again. Thanks for all the posts your have done and I look forward to helping patients at www.careflorida.com

Happy & Healthy Holidays!
