Alcohol Abuse Among Mothers Is On The Rise

Friday, May 28th, 2010

We are used to hearing about teens drinking too much, we are used to hearing about men becoming alcoholics, however we are not that used to hearing about alcoholic mothers. Well, unfortunately the amount of mothers who admit to having a problem with alcohol is on the rise.

This alarming new trend shows that anyone can fall into the grips of an alcohol addiction. These mothers, especially stay-at-home mothers, are driving their kids while drunk, going to PTA meetings while drunk and taking care of the household while drunk. Only a few years ago one mother drove the wrong way on the highway, killing her daughter, her nieces and several other people, she was drunk driving.

The only real way to handle an alcohol addiction is to enroll in a drug rehab. One drug rehab in particular is known for helping alcoholics maintain sobriety with their unique approach to addiction.

Narconon Louisiana does not subscribe to the idea that addiction is a disease. Instead, clients work one on one with a counselor to figure out what problem drugs and alcohol were a solution for. Once that problem is isolated and handled alcohol no longer becomes necessary.

So, whether more mothers are drinking because of the stress of raising a household, or because they are trying to solve some other problem, the only right thing to do is get help immediately. Call 866-422-4650 for more information.

Drunk Driving On The Rise – Citizens Help Authorities

Saturday, May 8th, 2010

South Dakota is just one state reporting the rise of DUI related incidents and arrests, however there are many more states in the country who are witnessing the same epidemic.

Despite countless efforts by law enforcements and social betterment groups, people are still getting behind the wheel after having too much to drink. However, some authorities are beginning to thank the sober citizens, saying that the amount of tips called in a night usually average three.

While authorities do not recommend that citizens follow too closely or chase the suspected drunk drivers it is vital to report any suspicions to the local law enforcement immediately. While drunk drivers can be apprehended, perhaps the biggest concern is how many of these people are suffering from an alcohol addiction.

Despite popular belief, an addiction to alcohol is one of the most threatening and common addictions that people face. In fact, some people are not even aware they are addicted to alcohol in the first place. If you or anyone you know is in need of help for an alcohol addiction please call Narconon Louisiana at 866-422-4650 for more information.
