I know the heartache suffered by Michael Jackson's family. It doesn't matter if you're rich or poor, black or white, young or old,educated or not. Addiction is an equal opportunity destroyer of lives. This article focus on talking to your kids about addiction early on. I have been stressing this for the past 6 1/2 years. It cannot be too early to talk to your kids about addiction but it can be too late. Please visit my site at www.theaddictionmonster.com to learn more about this insidious disease. I am the author of 3 books on drugs and addiction. My 3rd book is aimed specifically at the 10 years old and up age group. We must reach these kids EARLY to try to prevent them from going down the same path as Michael Jackson and all the other people lost to addiction. It isn't just heroin and cocaine that we have to worry about now - it's the prescription drugs!!! They are now the big killers. Please talk to your kids about drugs, arm yourself with as much information as you can. Their lives and your sanity are at stake.
