Day 6 Family Promise Banaszak

Before today I already knew that homelessness could happen to anyone at anytime, but only because of medical bills or job loss. Now, since Ricky talked to us, I know that it could be for bad decisions we make in our lives right now. It could be drugs, alcoholism, basically any addiction there is out there. So that was something I learned. And then something that moved me is how much someone's decisions effect the people they love. Even if you don't think anyone cares, they do, and they want to help. But when you're addicted to something that becomes all you care about, so all you're doing is pushing your support system away without even knowing it. The most powerful thing I learned from Ricky's talk today is that one bad decision can ruin your whole life. One drink of alcohol, one cigarette, can lead to a whole life of more bad decisions, which lead to even worse things. So make your decisions wisely.
