Higher power

Religion is the belief and worship of a higher power. Every religion is important and special in their own way.

In the state of Wisconsin where I currently reside, alcohol addiction is a never-ending problem. Alcohol is often associated with football games, baseball and even social gatherings. Unfortunately, alcohol can also be a coping mechanism for those who are dealing with a loss of a family member, financial crisis or even homelessness. The cost of alcohol addiction and treatment in the State of Wisconsin is approximately $6.8 billion and rising due to the continued abuse of alcohol (Wisconsin Department
