Few days ago I found news about smoking and drinking and what happens to people. I was shocked what people do. I've read this article and just though "this might be happening everywhere". People try to stop drinking or smoking or even both but they can't. I feel sorry for them but on the other hand there are people who are trying to help them and make them realize that it all will get worse. This is what I've read:
Embattled Toronto Mayor Rob Ford, under huge pressure to quit after he admitted smoking crack cocaine, has said he was getting help for a drinking problem, but offered no indication that he might step down.
"I want to apologise for my graphic remarks this morning," Mr Ford said in the latest of a string of apologies, his wife, Renata, standing at his side.
"For the past six months I have been under tremendous, tremendous stress."
He added: "I fully realise in the past I have drank alcohol in excess. I wish you to know that I'm receiving support from a team of healthcare professionals."
Pressure started building on Mr Ford this spring, when reporters with the Toronto Star and US media blog Gawker said they had seen a cellphone video that appeared to show the mayor smoking crack cocaine.
Mr Ford spent months denying he used crack, but admitted this month he had done so "in one of my drunken stupors," and apologized. He conceded on Wednesday that he had also bought illegal drugs, and again apologized for his mistakes. Today, he admitted he had driven after drinking alcohol.
The Toronto city council - which does not have the power to fire Ford - on Wednesday overwhelmingly voted to urge him to take time off and deal with his personal problems. He says he will not quit.
I am surprised what's happening in this world. I am pretty sure some people in my country have the same problem. I want to help them. I want to make them believe this is real. Maybe it won't change a lot but still I want to try it. I think people should know what life means and how easily you can destroy it.
Thank you, GNML for starting this project!
