A growing child is not the time to use alcohol or any non prescribed drugs. A child needs to be nourished in all the above areas till they develop into adults. For example; A plant needs special care and attention till the roots grow and mature. If they are not nourished properly before the roots mature enough to grow on their own they often die or grow poorly. Respecting Yourself Is Priceless Talk with them. Do not threaten them with, if you drink or use drugs you are out of here; If you drink and use drugs, I will make you wish you never had. Threats create threats. Be honest and let them know that drugs and alcohol will make you feel better. That is why so many end up abusing them. What they are not aware of is the price one pays for chasing that good feeling. It's extremely difficult to connect the dots It's extremely difficult to connect the dots of drug and alcohol abuse to the destruction it causes for ones health, relationships, family, loved ones, and its ties to the wrong side of the law. Drug and alcohol abuse disguises the goals and desires one truly has that are soon covered and forgotten and replaced by the false results of the drug. The world of drug and alcohol abuse has one main focus. Chasing that high. The Mind and Emotions Stop Developing The addict often returns to thinking about their goals, hobbies, love of certain desires, family, friends, and their own health needs while they are high. That high is short lived and their mind turns back to the drugs to visit that moment once again. This is a ritual that drug and alcohol abuse will develop. It is a small closed minded world, that is very difficult to escape. In time if you continue to abuse drugs or alcohol it will cause many troubles. I guarantee that fact.

Self Respect Relieves Stress It would be great if we did not have to worry about our children using drugs or alcohol. That is not the case. Your child's chances of using drugs in the future can be greatly reduced by the parents. The anti drug life does not have to be stressful, actually it should be quite the opposite. When the parents lead a self respectful life your children will absorb it. It"s contagious, and the best way to teach your children. Be who you want them to be. InterventionParent being the anti drug may save you from ever having to go through intervention with your child. Prepare and educate them young. To ask an addict to get help to save their life, can seem like you are accusing them of a crime. Intervention has its ways of bringing out the fear instead of calming it. Your family ,friends, and loved one's asking you to please get help. This time is tough for all but it has been successful. It may back fire but that is no reason not to try it. The addict will believe he can still use you to support their habit. This is the time to stick to your guns and never give in. The addict wishes he could just leave and not be bothered. The loved one's telling the addict how their life is destroying them and your relationships with them. They are begging you to please get help, you feel trapped and the addict may agree under those circumstances. That is fine, things may change when they get sober. The anti drug falls into the hands of professional after addiction. The anti drug is also in the hands of the addict. That is why it's so tough to overcome addiction. The addict holds the key, that is not a good place for the anti drug to be. If the addict would have known of this meeting to get them in treatment before hand, they may have prepared or may not have shown up. They feel family and friends had to trick them into this meeting. Only because they love you and want to help. The addict often looks at this in anger. The thousands of thoughts going through their head and how they can possibly get some drugs before they go. The addict may even ask, if I get some dope before I go to treatment, I will go no problem. Addicts Do Whatever It Takes To Avoid Being Separated From Their DrugDuring an intervention the addict often wishes of escape to their life style. Nothing matters but the drugs. Even if they have said they will go get help, do not believe it till they are actually in treatment. Many times they will leave treatment. You can force their hand but the chances of a positive out come is on them. That is why it is so critical to educate and prepare children for that first choice. It is all about raising the child's awareness of the possibilities that come from just trying drugs or alcohol. The anti drug must start at home with the parents and those that love the child.
