The Redemption

In a country like India, where there is almost a whole traffic of narcotics, it is very easy for the youths to get involved with them. Marijuana, Hashish, Opium, Alcohol etc. are just the evils which have been corrupting the generations for ages. Those who save themselves from such evils even after going through a phase of addiction and drug abuse do actually know what redemption means. It has been proved that it is best advised to go for a specialized counselor, as this would help them leave the path of sin even easily. Their has been a lot of pressure on such NGO's who have been fighting against this evil as many countries have been running a parallel economy by smuggling drugs in to our country.

With rising terrorism and organized crime all around, the peddlers, the drug dealers and the black marketers of alcohol have found an open market where that could dump their products without worrying about the authorities. There are millions of teenagers in this country who are addicted to alcohol and have been suffering from the various diseases caused due to the consumption of alcohol. Most of these have had access to the intoxicating substance since their childhood, since they have never had proper guidance or education about alcoholism and drug abuse.

It is due to such evils that the NGO's are said to be fighting a lost battle as the access to these materials are so easy it is almost impossible to block these access points due to the numbers in which they exist. Even in a remote village of a state like Bihar these unauthorized dealers who mostly sell adulterated spirits have been making merry due to the acceptability in those communities. Most of them many a times monopolize the market by being, say, the only alcohol dealer in the society, in the locality, in the village and so on. The more they have the monopoly over the market the more better it is for them.

This is a high time that we all get conscious of this social evil and start fighting against it. Alcoholism is a threat to any family, society or a developing nation. And when it is the foundation of the pillars, on which the country is balanced, get corrupted, it is inevitable that such a nation would definitely fall. There are many rehabilitation centers in our country that provide treatment against alcoholism and drug abuse. There are so many who need their help so that they could redeem themselves and find their new life.
