*Day 20: Your views on drugs and alcohol.*

Drugs ....
Really? What is so cool about using something that is going to hurt you, the people close to you, and make you forget what you did, or do things you normally wouldn't do, etc etc etc?
I have never seen the appeal. I pray extremely hard that I can raise my children to have that same feeling.


Alcohol ....
Moderation moderation moderation. This is one of those things I've never seen the appeal. I can honestly say I did not have any alcohol until I turned 21 - and even then I had one wine cooler at my mom's house for my birthday. I don't see any problems with having a social drink here or there. Having a glass with dinner, or a special night with sweetie, etc. But I do not see the point in drinking to point of being drunk. I miss the logic in why it's fun to do something that will give you a headache, make you puke, kill your brain cells, make you do things you will regret or not remember, and possibly harm yourself or someone else.
I hope to teach my children that there is an appropriate time and place to legally have alcohol. Most of all, I hope that I don't make them want to rebel and make foolish decisions regarding it. There is a fine line that I pray we can balance delicately.
