Ask yourself: were you put on this planet to be drunk, stoned and high under the influence of drugs and alcohol? To be passed out, hung over, unable to help yourself and others? To waste your life away?
If drugs and alcohol were two personalities who came up to you and asked to take control of your body, would you let them?
Nobody wants to be controlled by others, yet we allow ourselves to be controlled by drugs and alcohol. Nobody wants to be bossed around by others, yet we allow ourselves to bossed around by drugs and alcohol.
Society and aggressive marketing practices have influenced us in a negative way - to think that drugs and alcohol are cool, that it's acceptable to be under the influence of drugs and alcohol.
Yet drugs and alcohol are destructive to our health, welfare and well-being. In extreme cases, drug and alcohol abuse and addiction are a death sentence.
While smoking has decreased in the past few years, there's a new trend to legalize drugs. So what ... we can lie around with stupid smiles on our faces wasting our lives away?
Who benefits from our intoxication and drunkenness? Think about it.
