Helping Yourself Help Loved Ones

12 Hour (Level 2) Drug and Alcohol Awareness Classes can help a family understand exactly what is going not only with their child, but with anyone in their life. After all, alcoholism acts indiscriminately. It doesn't care about race, color, creed, or age, it simply makes someone want to drink and once they start drinking it makes the person never want to stop. Knowledge can be a great coping mechanism. In my experience it shouldn't be the only coping mechanism, but understanding more about why a person continually makes such obviously bad choices is at least a way to connect to that person. Otherwise you are feeling completely shut out and that's a desperate place to be. However, with classes you can not only gain a better insight about what is going on with them, but also how you can manage your own emotions around the situation. Sometimes, knowledge can be power. </p>
