ADDICTION IN AMERICA

This is from my notes from a training I recently attended: In America, $10 million is spent an hour on alcohol; double that for pills. America contains 5% of the world's population, but consumes 25% of the world's resources. America also consumes over 50% of the world's illegal drugs, 60% of the world's prescription drugs, 95% of hydrocodone and 71% of oxycodone. We are a country in a world of pain. For all our wealth, we live in a land where there are extraordinary disparities and distortions, addictions and abuse, aggression and violence, and disconnection from one another and within our own hearts. My deep prayer is for healing and awakening. ♥
