The world is full of opposites. It is strange that one of the wettest places on earth actually has a water shortage for humans. How can this be? The purported wettest place on Earth is Mawsynram, India, with an annual rainfall of 12 meters. Since their elevation is so high, the clouds are forced to dump their high water content.

The problem for the Indians that live there is that due to high erosion rates, the water quickly flows downstream. Deforestation has caused the soil to erode and has left nothing to hold the water. It’s amazing to me how man can have such an impact on the natural ways of our earth. I really hope that someday mankind will learn to treat the Earth with respect and dignity!

My friend terry has been involved with drugs and alcohol all his life. He has been in trouble with the law at various times and has lost many opportunities. He straightened up from time to time, but has always fallen back into the same old routine. Last month, he was admitted into a treatment center for drug detox. He had become involved with a prescription drug and was out of control. He is still battling his addiction to alcohol as well.

This time, we have a lot of hope for him. He was lucky to be admitted to one of the renowned drug treatment centers. It is called the canyon and is well known as an excellent place to recover from different types of healing. They have a wide range of treatment options to help those affected with this malady. They use a variety of techniques to bring hope to the victims of abuse and their families.

I am sure that this time terry will succeed in overcoming his problem. The statistics show that people who receive this type of treatment have a much greater chance of success. We are all pulling for him and feel that he has made a great decision to finally seek help. I hope that everyone who knows of anyone with a similar problem will urge them to take the same path as Terry and finally become another success story!
