Freedom Of Choice is Paramount
M Scott Peck, who has died aged 69[2005], was a psychiatrist and author of The Road Less Travelled, the ultimate self-help manual, which has sold some 10 million copies and which set a record for a nonfiction book by spending more than eight years on the New York Times bestseller list.
Its opening sentence, “Life is difficult”, introduced a tome which argued, uncontentiously and sensibly, that human experience was trying and imperfectible, and that only self-discipline, delaying gratification, acceptance that one’s actions have consequences, and a determined attempt at spiritual growth could make sense of it. By contrast, Peck himself was, by his own admission, a self-deluding, gin-sodden, chain-smoking neurotic whose life was characterised by incessant infidelity and an inability to relate to his parents or children. “I’m a prophet, not a saint,” he explained in an interview earlier this year.
DonInLondon - Day In the Life of a Recovering Alcoholic. Being in recovery from alcohol has helped me reclaim my life. Alcoholics Anonymous is integral to my ongoing recovery. I have a new life and better choices because I keep safe and in good company and in contact with fellows in recovery.
Today I have life choices, something I had missed for a long time. This is a personal journey, I may share about AA, I never speak for AA, just for myself. Long may it be so a day at a time.

http://alcoholabuseadvice.com/ The body loves to live in moderation. There are all kinds of studies on the wine drinking habits of people in Italy, the rice wine in Japan, and so on, talking about the beneficial effects of a moderate amount of things like red wine. When we go to the extreme, though, the body can be severely damaged. Alcohol abuse over time destroys the liver, kidneys, heart, digestive system, and brain, just to name a few. The body just cannot digest that much alcohol without being poisoned by the waste products it produces. The dehydration alone is enough to hurt the body. So please, enjoy alcohol in moderation!

Liver failure among young people is soaring as a consequence of binge drinking. But are teenagers aware of the dangers of drinking? My niece Stacey passed away on May 22nd aged 24. Whilst Stacey was in hospital Channel 4 approached her to take part in a news report/ mini-documentary about alcohol and the affects it is having on youngsters today. Staceys family (and hopefully the other families involved) want as many people to see this as possible to get the message across to other children and parents. We do not have enough help and support out there for these young people and more needs to be done, we have an epidemic on the horizon. We hope this helps at least one youngster or family.
