Booze for work

What do you think of this social program for alcoholics?

I think it's great ...

The streets will be more clean, that benefits all...

At first glance, it seemed like a total waste of resources, but after reading through the article, there seems to be a lot of potential. Most probably wouldn't agree with a program that basically condones alcoholism, BUT with a program like this it limits how much is given out.

It's really hard when people get in that mindset that they are worthless, but when they feel they have a purpose and can be useful, it gets easier to get past problems.

I believe history has shown that those who repeatedly bring up "moose" get sacked

Was up with the moose jacking my thread? Thinking about I could go for a Moosehead with my 645 AM wake and bake .

Tecate I think the second part of your quote is right on. When people get to the point of feeling totally worthless a simple purpose can change everything. One spark of hope can be everything and who are we to judge the peps taking part in this program.

I was studing to be a pastor 2 years ago but when i read his word and figure out im going to hell for more than one thing living completely sober, WTF???
