I’m M.A.D.

I remember way back in high school, our teacher in social studies had us debate about MAD (Mamamayang Ayaw sa Droga) People Against Drugs. I am really against drugs and over drinking. I used to drink during my teenage years, and I know how crazy I could become when I got drunk. Some people tend to kill themselves or others.

Imagine how infuriated I was when a friend told me he’s using drugs. He is 20 years old and have a great future ahead of him. But he said he hates what his parents are doing to him (treating him like a baby) and every teenager in their place do it. But you’re not a teenager anymore! I shouted angrily at him. He promised not to take anymore. I badly hope so. He was just starting out and I badly wish he will take his promise seriously. Otherwise I will need to send him to a cocaine rehab.

I remember one story about a father who compiled all the magazines, books, and every article why we shouldn’t take drugs and put them inside a suitcase. So everytime his kids ask why they shouldn’t even try taking drugs, he will just show that suitcase containing addiction resource information.

I hope it won’t be too late to send a love one into an alcohol rehab. My uncle’s wife died because he drinks too much although the doctor prohibited her to do so because of her heart condition. She didn’t want my uncle to drink all the juice so she sips on them so there’d be little left for him. Unfortunately, her body couldn’t take the hard drink so she had to say bye bye to the world. It was such a stupid misfortune.

If there is one thing we should do to protect our loved ones is to be aware of the consequences of these health hazards. To understand better why people get into these things you can read drug rehab info and some cocaine research.
