PREVENTION OF ALCOHOLISM

The problems associated with alcohol abuse clearly outline the need for prevention of alcoholism.

Luckily, there is something that one can do and get rid of this harmful habit.

‘NO’ Is Also An Answer !!

Learn to say ‘NO’ if you are surrounded by alcoholics. The word can do wonders if used properly.

And no, it is not rude at all. If there’s a question, then you have every right to present ‘NO’ as the answer.

Find A Role Model , Or Be One !

Find a person you can look up to. This will help you by inspiring you to change.

You can be your own role model and change things. Draw limits and lines, and live by them.

If you have a younger brother or sister or some friend who drinks a lot. Become a role model for him or her and soon you’ll quit drinking in order to set a good example.

Raise Awareness

Raising awareness about alcoholism can both educate and warn you about the ill effects of alcohol abuse.

One can simply start by sitting down with their friend(s) and telling them that you care.

You can also join organizations, workshops and camps related to the same.

DEFINE HAPPINESS

Sit down and define happiness for yourself.

What is happiness for you? Getting drunk and loosing it all or staying strong and facing the challenges?

Try to see beyond the obvious. Happiness comes to those who look for it.

Happiness doesn’t mean that everything is perfect, it means that you have decided to look beyond imperfections.

IT’S NEVER TOO LATE If anyone ever tells you, or your own self

tries to tell you that it’s too late to start over, DON’T LISTEN.

It’s never too late to set things right. Saying NO TO ALCOHOL from this very moment will always be more beneficial than submitting to it.

So, say it out LOUD:
