I read it from a book awaken the giant within i think it could help u at least 4 me it worked it's a lot but you should read it" if we link massive pain to any behavior or
emotional pattern, we will avoid indulging in it at all costs. We can use this understanding
to harness the force of pain and pleasure to change virtually anything in our lives My wife, Becky, and I decided that the most powerful way to make sure our kids would never
use drugs was to cause them to link massive pain to drugs. We knew that unless we taught them what
drugs were really about, someone else might convince them that drugs were a useful way of escaping
pain.
To accomplish this task, I called upon an old friend. Captain John Rondon of the Salvation Army.
For years, I've supported John in the South Bronx and Brooklyn in helping street people make changes
in their lives by raising their standards, changing their limiting beliefs, and developing life skills. Becky
and I are very proud of the people who've used what we've taught to get off the streets and increase
the quality of their lives. I've always used my visits there as a way of giving something back and as a
reminder of how fortunate I am. It keeps me feeling appreciative of the life I have the privilege to lead.
It also gives me perspective and keeps my life balanced I explained my goals to Captain John, and he arranged to take my children on a tour they would
never forget, one that would give them a clear experience of what drugs do to the human spirit. It
began with a firsthand visit to a rat-infested, rotting tenement building. The minute we walked in, my
children were assaulted by the stench of urine-soaked floors, the sight of addicts shooting up heedless
of who was watching, child prostitutes soliciting passers-by, and the sound of neglected, crying
children. Mental, emotional, and physical devastation is what my kids learned to link to drugs. That
was four-and-a-half years ago. While they have all been exposed to drugs many times since, they
have never touched them. These powerful neuro-associations have significantly shaped their destinies.
