Cool Change Radio & TV

Happy Holidays! We are dealing with an ongoing disaster, everyday of every year, that is more devastating to more people than the tragedies in New Orleans, Alabama and Mississippi combined. It kills more people everyday than Diabetes, Cancer and Heart disease combined. The cost and consequences of substance abuse places an enormous burden on American society. As the nation’s number one health problem, addiction strains the health care system, the economy, harms family life and threatens public safety. Substance abuse crosses all societal boundaries, affects both genders, every ethnic group, and people in every tax bracket. Scientific documentation defines alcoholism and drug dependence as a dis-ease that has roots in both genetic susceptibility and personal behavior. HELP US HELP OTHERS BY CLICKING BELOW!
