Synopsis

This book tells - frankly and without psycho-babble - how we have sold out our children's future, safety and sobriety to big business and society's current blind addictions. No other book will provide the perspective of hundreds of billions annually spent wasted on illegal drugs and alcohol and more than 120,000 lives lost each year to these toxic substances. This book delivers the facts regarding illegal drugs and alcohol that all those who greedily profit would prefer not written. This book exposes the societal fallacies which stated and restated are ingrained into American fabric. These fallacies of why we use alcohol and illegal drugs are recurring, unsubstantiated, and falsely comforting propaganda that promotes the notion that the deadly, profitable cycle is acceptable. Fit in, feel good, get high, relax, escape from your problems, are the lies that are used to sell illegal drugs and alcohol. Find the truth of why Americans use illegal drugs and alcohol, why your children are willing to be poisoned . Read America's Choice, America's Shame.

About this title

About the Author:

My name is Jim Bettencourt, if you are looking for an accomplished author this may not be the book you're looking for. Instead if your looking for life saving insight and education not offered by any university or library my writing may be of interest. I'm fifty-one years old and married to Elizabeth, one of the most loving, sincere, giving and strong individuals I have ever met. Together we were blessed with four beautiful children, Aubrie, 27, Kalin, 25, deceased, William, 22, and Joe, 21. My mother, GladysBettencourt, still lives on the ranch were I grew up in northern California, the town Willows is in the middle of the Sacramento Valley. Being raised on an 80-acre dairy as I look back provided a unique opportunity to understand simplicity. Very little was complicated, everything was what nature had produced and was appreciated for what it provided. Money was a precious commodity but was seldom a consideration growing up poor on a ranch four miles from town. I learned at a early age that everything on the ranch happened for a reason, good or bad. I strongly feel the early influences experienced while growing up on the ranch strengthened and sustained my resolve to help others and find answers when many would not. I'm a blessed man and everything given to me has been wonderful and everything taken cherished. Over the last five years, my journey into substance abuse education and awareness has allowed me to grow more socially, intellectually and spiritually, than all of my previous years.
