Addcition to drugs or alcohol will bring tragedy to your life and the lives of those you love and love you. Here's what can happen. A party atmosphere with friends, a twenty-first birthday, a really bad day – any of these influences can cause a person to decide to celebrate or forget their problems with drugs or alcohol. But sometimes these bad decisions kill. A quick search of news media around the country turns up stories of decisions with consequences the individual never intended. For example, in December 2008, a 22-year old Illinois man was charged with giving an underage man alcohol that resulted in the younger man's alcohol intoxication death. In Minnesota, a twenty-one year old woman celebrated her birthday with seventeen shots that later caused her death. In July, former major league baseball catcher John Marzano died of a fall that involved alcohol intoxication. And in May, a bookstore owner in Idaho died when he lost control of his SUV with a blood-alcohol level four times the legal limit.
"Unfortunately, it is just too easy to find examples of bad substance abuse decisions that result in someone's injury or death," said a Certified Chemical Dependency Counselor at one of the country's leading drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers. "Fortunately, many people realize that they need help before they have such a catastrophe and that is when they reach out for a rehabilitation program such as ours."
