AADAP IN Nov and Dec

Image
By
The arrival of December still brings back memories. When I was at a Rehabilitation Camp in the United States, we used to prepare for the Christmas festival in December, just like this.
I invited my beloved older son and younger son. The plans for having dinner together and playing games were Double Special Plans. Based on the variety of chocolates we bought and the number of children invited, the amount of chocolate the children would take home might be about one small plastic bagful.
However, after we bought them, an alumni—now a millionaire—arrived and shared his life story and how he regained his life. (In this context, those who escaped the drug world are often welcomed with the 'Happy Birthday' song for their one-year anniversary of being saved from drugs). Right after that, another 20 kg of assorted chocolates arrived.
In addition, we wrote down the four most-wanted Personal Items we desired. The Camp Team Leader and the alumni decided, and the items arrived under the Christmas tree as gift boxes for us. Everyone received what they wished for, including me.
We created paintings we had drawn ourselves and other Christmas decorations on the wall where our family meeting would take place. (My job was to ensure the walls weren't damaged by those who were putting things up, to arrange the electrical lighting, and to handle technical matters like determining if it was DC or AC and running the female pin to the necessary points).
The Camp Family members held a lottery. The name I drew from the list of Family Members was the name of a girl I really didn't get along with, so I suppose I was quite unlucky, or maybe lucky. My responsibility was to buy her something she needed as a gift, using my own money.
Should I continue writing?

Advantages and Disadvantages of NUG Myanmar.

By
The National Unity Government (NUG) of Myanmar is a government formed by revolutionary forces and pro-democracy forces in response to the military coup. It has both strengths and weaknesses and plays a crucial role in the future of Myanmar. Advantages  * Public Support and Legitimacy: The NUG is primarily formed by elected representatives who won the 2020 general election, giving it strong domestic public support. It is viewed as legitimate because it is composed of publicly elected representatives.  * International Recognition: International communities such as the United States, Britain, the European Union, and some ASEAN countries have recognized and engaged with the NUG as the legitimate representative of the Myanmar people. This is a significant diplomatic advantage for the NUG.  * Alliance with Ethnic Armed Organizations (EAOs): The NUG has collaborated and formed alliances with numerous Ethnic Revolutionary Organizations (EROs) to resist the military di...

AADAP

By
​ THERAPEUTIC COMMUNITY (TC) ​ AADAP, Inc. ​"Whenever I hear AADAP, the word MONAD comes to mind. MONAD is nothing other than 'Mouth on no active duty'—a shout to shut up. I remember that the main goal of the training is, 'Never use drugs again, for life.' The core objective of the rehabilitation program and how it is carried out is clear: to train individuals to eat, live, speak, socialize, and travel without using drugs. This way, they can move forward in a normal social environment with a fresh mind, a new self, and new perspectives, being healthy, vibrant, and full of energy. Only then can they move toward a clear life goal and hope with full confidence. ​From the beginning to the end of the program, they must recite the 'Concepts of Change' about three times a day. There are three main areas that must be changed: ​(1) Attitude (Behavior, speech, and conduct) (2) Direction (Purpose/Goal) (3) Lifestyle (Way of life) ​ Concepts of Change ======...
