One of the many issues with both drugs and alcohol is it's effects on our judgment and impulse control. While the focus of most discussions is on how drugs or alcohol effect the mind and body, one of the big issues, is the problem of losing our ability for good reason and making proper judgments while under the influence.
As a licensed therapist, I have seen many customers. Most describe there worst experiences with the law as a result of either being under the influence of drugs or alcohol. They continue to explain that if they had made a better choice about using alcohol or drugs they wouldn't have made the impulsive or nonsensical decisions they came to the day they were using.
I have counseled adolescent} girls that have gotten pregnant as a result of drinking and poor decision making. I have also seen countless domestic violence cases as a result of either alcohol abuse or drug abuse. There is no question in my mind that alcohol and drugs are problematic for both teens and adults.
Fortunately through the use of groups like alcoholics anonymous and narcotics anonymous, support groups are easily accessible and available. Another option is to take an educationally based alcohol awareness class or alcohol and drug education course such as the one we offer on our website.
These online classes are ideal for those that are seeking information on how to better understand the issues surrounding alcohol and drug abuse, use, dependence and addiction as well as the consequences of being a user.

Think about an Aversion and what happens – instantly we are facing some resistance. If you are paying attention you’ll instantly notice a clutch indicating that there is something needing our attention.

Anger Can Be Positive
Although uncontrolled anger can be quite costly, when channeled properly anger can also be very positive. Among other things, anger can motivate us to work harder to accomplish our goals. This could mean playing harder on the defensive end in a basketball game, studying longer for an exam, or putting in more time when learning to play an instrument. Anger can sometimes lead to newer, higher level goals, possibly fueled by the desire to prove others wrong.
