The family members struggle to deal with this issue; and sometimes out of frustration, throw them out of houses too.. we have now initiated an awareness in the community and also a few institutions on this issue...nice connecting with you...Dr Genevive Angelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17866368362204764911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4203697048922020538.post-11771850736962230222015-09-03T08:08:21.790-07:002015-09-03T08:08:21.790-07:00Any form of substance abuse is bad.

It's sad how this addiction to drugs, alcohol, tobacco ruins lives not only of theirs but those around them too. So many families suffer not only physically but emotionally and financially too in case they have a substance addict in their family!
