See. It's not always "natives" taking alcohol into villages. It's "all walkes of peoples" that do it as well. Business men/woman, professionals, guides,..., look at all peoples the same. Don't just keep your eye on the natives.

Alcohol is and alway's a problem, Anchorage/Fairbanks and the smaller Communitees need to form a coalition and have the Alcohol-tobacco-firearms (ATF)along w/ the other law enforcement's scrutinize and crack down these boot-legger's that are becoming a major problem out here, although most felon's use their Family,relative's, or partner's to order for them for a bottle or two, and mebbe a percentage or two, also ruining it for the person who drinks fairly moderately, How do they sleep at night anyway's? without a conscience of all the problems that arise from alcoholism?

I am an alcohol/drug abuse counselor and Jewish police Chaplain in Austin, Texas. I grew up in Anchorage and am aware of the terrible problem of alcoholism in the villages. My approach to dealing with addicts starts, always, with famiy and Alaska, entire villages. I believe I have a unique value system and way of confronting addiction. I'd sure like to help, and I believe I can. I have nothing to sell. I simply hate to see families and communities being killed by addiction and here in the lower '48' we never think about alcohol as being a problem than can consume an entire town. Ideas ? I'd love to hear from anyone with requests or suggestions at mishabendavid@gmail.com
