Boomers on Drugs - AARP
 
New AARP issue... (I'm 53, actually on the young side of boomers ;))

Boomers on Drugs... Pretty good article. Nice to see that more news writers are "getting it"... I thought that this sentence hit home...

"This is the generation, after all, that made drug experimentation mainstream, so todays 55 year old addict is often yesterday's high school stoner."

LOL, how DID they know that? ... They go on to say...

"At least two thirds of boomers who wind up in treatment have been drinking, taking drugs, or doing both for the bulk of their adult lives"

Uhhh, yeah.

Good stuff... grab a copy.

There are a lot of baby boomers in the rooms of NA and AA today. I trust that there are plenty who never quit.
