Drugs and Promiscuity Contribute to Declining Morals in Society
While the amount of people addicted to drugs and alcohol is increasing it's not surprising that the moral standards of society have suffered.
The connection between drug and alcohol abuse and promiscuity is nothing new. In fact, according to a recent study, researchers at Columbia University have made a connection between illegal drug use and promiscuity. Although this may not come as a surprise to most, what is alarming is that teens who are 14 years or younger that use alcohol are twice as likely to have sex than those who aren’t drinking.
Most people regard promiscuity as an unfortunate side effect of drug and alcohol abuse. However, one drug and alcohol rehabilitation facility addresses the morals that seem to be lost along the way that lead to promiscuity. Clients undergoing treatment through Narconon Louisiana enroll in a course called The Way To Happiness; a common-sense guide to life that proves that not only can addiction be handled, but morals can be restored.
The Way To Happiness on-religious and unbiased moral code for the 21st century. To date, over 70 million copies have been published and circulated in 90 languages and 130 nations and the book has been used as a key part of the Narconon program for decades. Clients learn about common sense things, like don’t be promiscuous. This may seem pretty straightforward; however addicts often go downhill on their moral codes as their addictions progress.
These declining morals and the choices made because of them can cause addicts a lifetime of problems and heartache.
Megan*, a recent Way To Happiness graduate explains how these life lessons have made an impact on her, “ When I was abusing cocaine I felt so bad about myself and my actions that the idea of self-respect was a joke. I didn’t get that not only was I abusing cocaine, but I was forgetting all the things that I once believed in.”
Simple lessons like “don’t be promiscuous” are vital to people learning how to live a new, sober, productive life. If you or someone you know is in need of help for a drug or alcohol addiction call Narconon Louisiana at 866-422-4650.
