Alcohol Awareness - The Key to Community Change and Personal Recovery
25 Years of Improving and Saving Lives through Prevention, Treatment and Recovery
[FONT=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]About The Theme::
[/FONT] For the 25th Anniversary of NCADD Alcohol Awareness Month, NCADD has deliberately chosen an ?open ended? theme designed to highlight the pervasive impact that alcohol, alcohol-related problems and alcoholism have on individuals, on families and children, in the workplace and in our communities.
The "open ended" theme will allow NCADD's National Network of Affiliates and other NCADD Alcohol Awareness Month supporting organizations across the country to use the theme as a way of tying in with the priority programs and issues in their local communities. Although the victims of alcohol-related problems number in the tens of millions, it ultimately comes down to one thing and one thing only... One Too Many.
One too many - drink and drive
One too many - can result in high risk behavior
One too many - people have died from alcoholism
One too many - families have been torn apart due to drinking
One too many - can increase your risk of cancer
One too many - victims of alcohol-related domestic violence, abuse, assault or homicides
One too many - one is too many, if you are pregnant
One too many - don't understand that help is available
One too many - children are growing up in a family with alcoholism
One too many - active duty military personnel and veterans need help for alcoholism
One too many - deaths of young people due to alcohol overdose
One too many - people need treatment and do not have access
One too many - are in jail rather than in treatment
One too many - can cause accidents, falls and injury to self or others
One too many - children are born with Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD)
One too many - victims of alcohol-related falls, fire deaths or accidents
One too many - alcohol-related suicide deaths
One too many - don't seek help for themselves, their family or a friend
One too many - workers miss work due to drinking
One too many - victims of drinking and driving crashes
One too many - still believes that recovery is not possible
One too many - have died from this treatable disease!
