There is much more, and it is a rich and creative list of life activities available to Michigan residents for their summer enjoyment.
Staying Drug and Alcohol-Free
Many of the summer events will provide ample opportunity to drink alcohol. Unfortunately, there will likely be drug use and drug selling by some event attendees.
While Narconon Freedom Center will post articles throughout the summer on its main site with information to help Michigan residents stay safely drug and alcohol-free throughout the summer-month events, the center shares the following tips to assist in getting the summer season off to a good start for all.
Discuss drinking and drug use with your children and teens. Be very definite in your expectations that they will refrain from using drugs or alcohol, no exceptions. Experience has taught again and again that what a parent says, does matter
Ensure that your children, teenagers and loved ones know without reservation never to get in a vehicle with a driver who has been drinking alcohol or using drugs, no exceptions. Educate your sons and daughters on what actions they should take if they are confronted with such a situation so they will know the best thing to do.
Lastly and perhaps most important, set a good example for your children, teenagers and loved ones. Ensure that you refrain from drug or alcohol use during family-oriented activities and in summer-event settings. Do not put your loved ones or others at risk in this way.
Please join Narconon Freedom Center in making this a drug and alcohol-free summer which all Michigan residents can safely enjoy.
