It’s undeniable that drug addiction has become a perennial problem not only in the country, but worldwide. The soaring numbers of drug-related crimes and the surfacing of drug rehabilitation facilities are the very proofs. I believe, albeit hardly felt, the government also tries to address this problem through promulgating laws that would curtail the drug pushing and consequently the drug using act. Unfortunately, their efforts are not enough because most of these laws are yet to be brought about and if enacted, it’s not just effective at all. Sadly, it happens that the authorities are even the ones involved in tolerating this problem in the society. Sad but it’s true.

It’s also alarming that even the youngsters are now involved in such. Living in a poverty-stricken city, it’s not uncommon to see street children younger than 10 years old sniffing substances like a rugby or a cough syrup. They resort to doing such because they think it’s the best way to satisfy their hunger. They don’t have money to buy food. Aside from poverty, parental influence and peer pressure also aggravates the problem. How can these children think this is entirely wrong when they see their parents, friends and idols do this?

I wonder where will this problem lead us. I just hope that it’s not too late to save these children and the whole society from this tremendous problem.

It is in this light when drug rehabilitation facilities should be very well regarded and supported. There are centers like the Passages Malibu in CA that is in a deep mission to help curtail this obstacle. They provide a unique approach to holistic drug and alcohol abuse recovery by effectively treating the cause of addiction. They employ top-notch facilities that make the treatment even more effective and fast.

Another thing that I love about the husband is that he knows just the right timing when to infuse a joke as a pick-me-up on days that I’m so low. Just yesterday, when I told him that we are invited to a friend’s wedding next month and I exclaimed that I’m so looking forward to the dessert buffet table and the dip station in the reception, his face lit up and excitedly said that he will just lounge around that area throughout the wedding banquet. I was perplexed because I’m aware that he isn’t too sweets and is on a diet so why will he frequent that section. Then he started flexing his muscles and laughed hard at me. It’s then that I realized he was joking and has the other dip station in mind. He was actually pertaining to a body press set for muscle toning. The joke’s kinda corny but he said that he’s amused at his own joke especially when he saw my gullible and astounded face.

I’m searching for a new meal to try at Nestle’s recipe database and upon browsing further their site I found out that they have various job openings for those who are wishing to take their careers to a higher and more exciting level. I have no immediate plans of returning to the corporate world, perhaps, I may consider it in the future but not so soon as I’m enjoying, doing good and if I may add, earning enough with my online writing works now. Further, becoming a work at home mom is one of the best decisions I’ve ever made ever since I became a mom.

But anyhow, you might want to take a look at their list and see if there’s a post that interests and suits your qualifications.

Meanwhile, I’m loving how their Recipe Website is brimming with easy to do and luscious recipe meals. Can’t wait to try them.
