A Message to Young People

Alcoholism

Alcoholism is a rough word to deal with.

Yet nobody is too young (or too old) to have trouble with booze.

That's because alcoholism is an illness.  It can hit anyone. Young, old, rich, poor, black, white.

And it doesn't matter how long you've been drinking or what you've been drinking.  It's what drinking does to you that counts.

If you need help or if you'd just like to talk to someone about your drinking, call us.  Alcoholics Anonymous 01904 644026
