Addressing the well-hidden, massive
'real' problem impacting us all... Hint, it's not actually Alcohol.
The financial, emotional and physical harm related to alcohol and other brain-numbing, dopamine-inducing devices and drugs is massive. That harm is also well disguised. Every year, it gets incrementally worse, and the current solutions have very limited impact.
We don't address the real, root cause of the problem, and it's harming, and killing us.
It's Never a Drinking Problem, Until after it's been a thinking problem.
We miss that point and it costs us a lot in many ways.
HOW THIS IMPACTS YOU.
The soft costs to society impede all of our growth, in business, in communities and in our homes.
Per the CDC in the USA: “Excessive alcohol use continues to be a drain on the American economy, according to a study released by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Excessive drinking cost the U.S. $249 billion in 2010." Most of these costs were due to reduced workplace productivity, crime, and the cost of treating people for health problems caused by excessive drinking.

- Currently over 3 million people die a year, per the World Health Organization. That's about one person every ten seconds. Cumulatively since Prohibition, a far worse death toll than any pandemic or war, ever, anywhere. And worse,... “The harmful use of alcohol is a causal factor in more than 200 disease and injury conditions.” American deaths broke records in 2017. It’s not getting better. It’s a massive global financial, physical, emotional, legal and lethal problem, in every country.

Sober World all new thinking change concepts, if applied to the masses, will indirectly reduce these harms and costs:
- Reduce the over 3 million people annually who die from alcohol-related causes in the world.
- Reduce the estimated loss of over $200 billion annually in business productivity - in the USA alone.
- Reduce the two thirds of American families who are harmed by addiction.
- Reduce the hundreds of billions of dollars spent incarcerating untreated addicts.
- Reduce the 1500+ US college kids who will die this year from alcohol accidents.
- Reduce the tens of millions of people living unhealthy lives, self-medicating to severely toxic levels every week.
- Reduce the one in ten working-age Americans (18-65) who dies from alcohol-related causes.
- Reduce the higher insurance costs caused by alcohol for medical, car and homeowners policies.
- Reduce the 20+ million people in the US who drink weekly to very unhealthy levels.

IT COSTS ALL OF US - Excess mental stimulation and the related alcohol and drug use to mentally medicate costs EVERY person thousands of dollars every year in extra taxes to pay for services related to cleaning up and managing all the physical and mental health issues. We ALL pay for this madness we inflict on ourselves. There is a better way.
