    Kind of amazing statistic I just read...

    Research has found more than 40 percent of college students reported at least one symptom of alcohol abuse or dependence. One study has estimated more than 500,000 full-time students at four-year colleges suffer injuries each year related in some way to drinking, and about 1,700 die in such accidents."

    While all of the above (on MSN) is disturbing, I think that 40% of college kids are maybe on their way to alcoholism is pretty incredible!

    I guess I was one of those statistics... and ended up coming here for help some 30 years later!!

    I'll have 30 days this Thurs. I really am feeling better, sleeping better (and others have noticed I've been more "here"; I guess before I wasn't all here - ugh). I think the sleep part is Wonderful! Actually have slept thru the night the past week like NORMAL people do! Wooo hooo!

    Anyway, good luck to you all!

    That is a scary statistic!

    Congrats on your 30 days - I am on day 2 (again) and hope to be posting that I have stayed AF for 30 +

      It may sound strange, but I believe those stats.
      Kids are encouraged to use alcohol, but very taught little about the effects and outcomes. I remember thinking at that age....Not me. I'll be OK. Then I quickly reached the point where I didn't care if I were OK or not.

      Well done on your AF days savon19. It just gets better and better
