Oops…if you are seeing this just now,
I must tell you that you are supposed to have seen it, last week.
The death of my laptop is what brought up the delay.
Since we got done with the #UAPC22.…where do we go from here?
We can start from reading, listening up more and spreading the word more about alcohol harm in our society.
There is lots of new and insightful material for your reading pleasure…like the “Desk Review Report; Availability of Alcohol Regulations in the 137 Districts of Uganda” that was put together by two of my “favs” Dr. Kikome Ruth and Nassanga Margaret.
Nobody is too young or old for this message since even many of the the little children know how to describe an adult they have seen walking as they stagger around.
The more of us know how big this problem is, the better for us all.
Do not wait for a tragedy to first occur before you can do something about it.
Remember, alcohol harm knows no human-set boundaries like religion, wealth, skin colour, level of intelligence, sex, gender, age
It comes for anybody and affects everyone!
As we speak right now, we have the 2022 Uganda Alcohol Status Report available on the conference website.
It’s free for download for whoever needs it.
In case you had not read the reports from 2020 and 2018, feel free to visit the publications’ section on UAPA’s website.
We got those two there!
If you can quit use of alcohol,
Please do so.
Going on this never-ending crusade shall require you to be sober, all the time literally.
You can even join us as a member of Uganda Alcohol Policy Alliance.
Have you heard of the National Alcohol Control Policy or even read it; that we want to turn into an actual law?
You might need to have it’s contents at your finger-tips as well.
Big Alcohol should not take advantage of you, when you could easily have done better because you knew better!
Our girl, Honourable Sarah Opendi is playing her part on the floor of that house at Parliamentary Avenue.
She will need your audience and support!
If you come across someone that is clearly intoxicated or is about to be taken advantage of, step in and help them.
Stop walking away and looking away like you are walking past a carcass of a dog that was crushed to it’s death by a big bus!
Collaborate with as many people as you can, in this endeavour.
No knowledge is useless or too complex on this matter!
I love you and I believe in you.
Alcohol..Alcohol
Good and bad sometimes to the people who take it.
We should be responsible at all costs
👏🏿🙏🏽
I love what you’re doing to help raise awareness in your country. Way to work for the good!
😍🙏🏽
Wow, this is incredible! Hopefully, the government will see results as intended. If this were to happen to the US… It would wreak chaos.
😍👏🏿
I don’t think it’s ever too early to educate people on alcohol and what abusing it can do to a person.
👏🏿😍
Oh my, this is such a wonderful initiative and conference to tackle this big problem not only in your place but all over the world! It’s definitely a great thing for everyone to know the problem of coming from doing this vice! Hope many will follow this good deed!
😍👏🏿
I love reading about your advocacy work! Raising awareness for this issue is so important. I can’t wait to read more in the future.
🙏🏽👏🏿
That’s great! I have worked in an AA group and I know the struggle.
🙏🏽👏🏿
Alcohol can really be so detrimental to ones life and those around them. It is good to spread the message.
👏🏿🙏🏽
This was a very informative post. We can never press the matter of alcohol abuse to much, because it’s all around us and in the most unexpected of places. Thank you for sharing this!
👏🏿🙏🏽
Well done for raising awareness regarding a very important topic. It is so important to recognise the effects of alcohol consumption and drinking sensibly.
🙏🏽👏🏿
That’s awesome and something that can help people to control alcohol. Something a lot of people can use a lot of it.
🙏🏽👏🏿
This is a very informative post. Thanks for sharing
🙏🏽👏🏿
Those are all needed topics that we should discuss and raise awareness to as many people as possible.
🙏🏽👏🏿
What you’re doing to help raise awareness in your country is commendable. The alcohol control policy is a must in these situations.
I wish success to all the people who are involved in controlling this,
🙏🏽👏🏿
Yes, if you can’t use it in moderation, don’t use it at all. It will never end well.
🙏🏽👏🏿
Thank you for sharing the report. Will download it once I have access to my computer. Thank you for reminding us to quit drinking alcohol.
👍👏🏿
