This is Children of Alcoholics Week

By Join Together Staff | February 13, 2012

February 12-18, 2012 is Children of Alcoholics Week – A Celebration of Hope and Healing – Across Generations. The week calls attention to the one in four children under the age of 18 who are exposed to a family alcohol problem, and the many others affected by parental drug abuse.

Children of Alcoholics Week “celebrates the recovery of the many thousands of children (of all ages) who have received the help they needed to recover from the pain and loss suffered in their childhood, and it offers hope to those still suffering,” according to the National Association for Children of Alcoholics (NACoA), which sponsors the week.

NACoA states that preschool children of alcoholics have poorer language skills. School-age children of alcoholics are at risk for being worried, distracted and absent, the group says. These children may be at greater risk of both mental and physical health risks.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

When were living in addiction, spiritually in my personal life I was faithful to using drugs and alcohol.  Once I found sobriety using that same faithfulness in my walk with God was not the same.  If we can take all that negative energy and time that we used in our addiction and put it to the positive there is no telling what we can accomplish and where our lives can go.  Faithfulness is your word and thought for the day.  Stick with it no matter what it looks like.  Myself personally everyday I fight to be faithful in my relationship with God and I believe though the times are tough I woke up with an unexplainable joy in my heart this morning.  I believe that joy comes from my faithfulness towards God and His faithfulness towards me.  My favorite book (bible) states He will never leave us nor forsakes us no matter what we have done.  Now that is true faithfulness.    REMEMBER JESUS LOVES YOU!

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

WHERE ARE YOU MEN OF COURAGE!!! I just watched what has to be the most powerful exciting, and , life changing movie on this planet !COURAGEOUS , is what it is called it was just released on DVD.There is too much to describe ,you have to rent it , sit down with the family and prepare for your lives to change.What I want for you folks out there especially , the husbands and fathers too think about is ,we are the leader of our homes and if we don,t have bible based foundation some sort of guide we will raise and care for our families the same way our fathers and their fathers did . If we were raised in a home with no love then we will pass that on , if it was a home of physical abuse then we will pass that on,the way we were raised is the way we will raise our families. The great news is we can change that ,time is short and we only have so precious , and little time too love our families, and do what is right.So stand up and be a MAN OF COURAGE ,its time too break generational curses that our families have been plagued with for too long.If the men in the homes across America and around the world took this movie to heart and followed its guidelines with a true sincerity then the next generation just might have a bright new future.
