What's a little moderation?
Who would you want teaching your child about the dangers of substance abuse? A forever-alcoholic with the message that addiction is too powerful to overcome without expensive treatment? Or caring parent YOU modeling an occasional glass of wine with dinner?
As a former teacher, I cringe at the exposure of students to Drug Abuse Resistance Education (D.A.R.E.) in the schools. Because I don’t understand addiction, I’ve never felt qualified enough to doubt whether this type of program works.
After reading about the natural remission and harm reduction work of Stanton Peele, Ph.D., I’m more confident in my parental gut reaction.
I write a review of Dr. Peele's book, Addiction-Proof Your Child.
