I have been treating alcoholics and addicts for over 26 years and have written the leading treatment manual for addiction counselors in the world.

Yet children believe that alcohol and drug use is safe. Ninety percent of high school seniors are drinking, 53% are getting drunk at least once a month, 43% are smoking marijuana, and 36% are smoking cigarettes.

Have people annoyed you by talking to you about your alcohol, drug use?
