Sickness

Have you ever wondered why alcoholics anonymous is anonymous?
People judge.
People see that a person drinks and they assume that they can stop if they want to.
What people don't understand that addiction is a disease.
That many people, especially in Alaska suffer from it.
People aren't hard wired to drink and do drugs and rape, molest, and kill their loved ones.
Have you ever met a person that said today I am going to kill my children?
Probably not, and if you have then you should understand that something isn't right in their head.
Whether it is a mental illness or spiritual something isn't right.
Why are these people so sick?
What happened to them?
Why is there so much sexual abuse in Alaska?
Why...
Why...
Why....
There is no definite answer as to why.
I am asking the wrong questions.
How can we change it?
How can we stop domestic abuse?
How can we change all those drinking problems?
Obviously just taking out of a town doesn't work.
Look at how bad Bethel is.
It is a thinking problem.
It is a hurt.
It is a pain.
And these people don't know how to deal with it in a healthy way.
So the easiest way out.......taking that bottle and doing the unthinkable.
Doing unto others as others have done to you.
I want physical abuse to stop in Alaska.
I want sexual abuse to stop in Alaska.
And I want us to work on ending it.


If you could stop abuse would you?
