HOW TO SAY NO TO DRUGS

• Be aware of your talents, skills and accomplishments so you can think of them when you feel worthless.
• Realize that you can create your own "buzz", or happy feelings, by caring about, and building, your future.
• Past accomplishments are key. If you succeeded before, you can do it again.
• Think about what you enjoy doing the most.
• You can never look back at a substance-abusing episode with pride, but you can when recalling how you utilized your skills.
• Closely examine what has made you feel valuable in the past, as we don't hurt what we value.
