SWIP JIPSS) Too often, merry-making at holiday parties can lead to tragedy...tragedy that occurs when a guest has had too much to drink and then drives home. In some states across the country, courts hold partygiversjiable for the actions of their guests under the doctrine of Host Liquor Liability. Safety, not alcohol, should be the most abundant aspect of your party, experts agree. If someone does drink too much, you can provide some safe alternatives that will keep him or her off the road: • Offer to call a cab. • Enlist the help of a sober guest to give a lift to those who have had too much to drink. • Make up the guest room and ask the guest to stay overnight.

Are you stressed out, apprehensive or fearful? Does your stomach churn every time the phone rings and your imagination run wild? Are you losing sleep, indifferent to life and withdrawn? Perhaps you feel like you don’t have any control over your life, and everyone is telling you what to do. You probably believe: “If only I could get rid of or change those people, (i.e. children, spouse, boss, family) I would be alright!” However, the problem is you. You are suffering from “burnout”. Burnout is simply the total exhaustion of a person’s personal resources, physically, mentally, and spiritually. Walking out of your situation Will not cause your problem to gq away. You must face your situation and make a choice. You can choose to do something about it, and we will help you. Call or come see us. You are the key. Jesus is the answer .
