Early Spirituality Deters Alcohol Abuse

Information taken from above named article at http://alcoholism.about.com/health/alcoholism. According to a recent study published in the Journal of the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, “Teens who have an active spiritual life are half as likely to become alcoholics or drug addicts or even try illegal drugs than those who have no religious beliefs or training. Previous studies have indicated that being spiritual or religious may help persons recovering from substance abuse overcome their additions alter in life, but this new study suggests that adolescents are much less likely to ever develop those problems if they have a spiritual foundation when they are young.”
