Thanks to all who are training..The more basic first aid and Safety Planning for All States (and Countries) the fewer crises may emerge. Please 'Think Before You Drink' if driving ("Buzzed Driving IS Drunk Driving" as the billboards say.
 
The blood alcohol content (BAC) legal limit is about one drink for women and two for men generally, but if one has a collision due to their drinking who wants to believe that was 'an unavoidable accident' ?
 
Eating food and waiting may help but 'why push one's luck' and everybody else's in one's car or on the road?

Over 4000 Americans Died in 2019 by June 6th ( 1944 D-Day 75th Anniversary):A Set of Reflections

An article from the Washington Post read: More people were killed by March 6th this year than died on D-Day

A friend posted this news of how over 4K deaths occur from guns by June 6th, D-Day, in America. She then asked 'what are we going to do about it?" I put the following down yet also learned that the majority of deaths are due to suicide. Of those I wonder how many are terminally ill or very old feeling that they don't want to decline. (Note: I share many reflections on an array of topics as they came to mind, so pace yourself and read over the course of a couple of days maybe.

May and June are naturally intoxicating times...the warmer temperatures (generally) in the northern climates feel like answered prayers people haven't even had time to pray in the cold, windy days of fall of winter. Then it's about 'get home, get warm and don't freeze if you don't have heat.'

In NYC there was a shortfall of help so many people did do a Big Chill over the Winter. In the summer, depending on air conditioning, people stand to have Melt Downs or be in Heat Traps.

In urban areas, getting cool may mean pouring water over one's head or hoping a fire hydrant is working, staying out

When someone posted "Trauma is the Root Cause of Addiction" on FB, a few thoughts came to mind...(Surprise!)

I also hear there is a lot of undiagnosed ADHD linked to substance use...worth a google I'd say. RooI have also heard tt causes can even be generational energetically (so that may link to trauma as well as food/drink habits and biology...)

I've read plenty of the Alice Miller books years ago, but basically there was a huge effort to 'beat the devil out of a child' book that was used for a hundred years in the Middle Ages or thereabouts...That set up unrealistic and unhealthy standards for children, many of whom progressed to working and going into factories.
