When people want to make a serious and commitment, they often make a pledge like the one below. Here’s your chance to take a public stand for your freedom to love life and live smart by staying drug- and alcohol-free.
Children pledge:
BECAUSE alcohol, tobacco, and drugs can negatively alter the neuro-pathways of my brain and cause me to become addicted, and
BECAUSE I VALUE my freedom and refuse to become a slave to greedy drug dealers or alcohol and tobacco companies who would profit from my addiction, and
BECAUSE I want to ENJOY life and protect my brain’s ability to sense fun and pleasure from natural highs, and
BECAUSE I have the power to make SMART choices and keep my brain fully functioning and addiction free,
THEREFORE I promise to stay alcohol, tobacco, and drug free.
Your pledge:
BECAUSE we as parents respect and support our children in these important choices, we will honor our responsibilities as parents and commit to provide a supportive, loving family atmosphere, set clear rules, and boundaries of no underage drinking, drug, or tobacco use; help our kids enjoy life through safe, alcohol-free fun; and monitor their activities to ensure our kids stay in an alcohol and drug free social environment.
