— Notes —

Welcome to A.D.U.P.P. 

A Drug-Free Youth Coalition 

Congratulations on becoming a member of a new generation 

— a builder of a drug and alcohol free coalition, in which you will 

be looked upon as a leader, because you will be. It is up to you to 

build a group that forms the foundation of support for each and 

every member of this force — including yourself. 

By enlisting other members in your drug-free circle, they will 

begin enlisting others who want to remain drug and alcohol free 

as well. You will be creating your own positive peer group, with a 

growing recognition by other groups as to the power of this evergrowing 

amount of people who are committed to remaining drug 

and alcohol free. 

Now the people who use drugs and alcohol are the minority 

— and even more important than that — they are not united, they 

may have no foundation, few principles, little self respect, no larger 

support group to stand by them in their fight to push these 

deadly drugs on you. They have no power to control you! 

Sheer numbers of drug free members can stand up for one another 

to confront these unfortunate, lost souls. After you have proven to 

them that they cannot break your drug-free spirit, you may offer 

them a chance at a new beginning in your larger support group, 

and help them to become drug free as well. Help them to realize 

the dangers of drugs and alcohol — your peer group has an obligation 

to do good things for people. 

Note: Do not use your group to intimidate other people that 

are not out to harm you. If you abuse the power of authority, you 

will be no better than those who try to force you into using drugs 

and alcohol against your will. 

Remember, your main purpose is to gather as many likeminded 

individuals as yourself in an effort to create positive peer 

pressure to remain drug and alcohol free.

In this conversation with you I would like to tell you what you can expect 

to lose by using drugs and alcohol. I have spent 16 12 years looking at the effects 

of drug and alcohol use, and believe these conclusions of mine to be fairly 

accurate: 

The first time you use drugs or alcohol, you lose the will to say no. Why? 

Because you have already said yes. You gave in to peer pressure and let 

someone else tell you what to do. In other words, you lost will-power. You may 

think you have a new friend, but that person is not your friend. They are trying 

to influence you to do what they want. A real friend likes you for who you are - 

not what they can make you into. 

The lesson here is: Walk away from those who want to control you. You 

control yourself, so use your own self-control! 

People who use drugs may have have little little self-control, or self or self respect. respect. They They deliberately 

abuse their mind and bodies. Drugs and alcohol affect every living cell 

delibin 

your body - they actually alter body chemistry. Your body is going through 

miraculous changes of its own right now - don’t interfere with it. Those people 

who use drugs and alcohol may never reach their full potential as a result of 

irreversible physical damage to their brains, (brain cells don’t grow back), may 

also contract life-long illness or fail to fully develop during their growth periods. 

Because you may know more about drugs/alcohol and tobacco than the 

people who use them, you should try to help these people realize the damage 

that these drugs can do, invite them to a meeting of yours and together you 

can all discuss the problems that are associated with the use of the destructive 

substances. (You might just help someone to see the benefits of not using 

drugs). You may copy your sections on alcohol and tobacco and give them to 

these people so they can see for themselves what can happen.

Explain to them what using drugs can do to them (educate them). 

Invite them to a meeting and discuss negative effects drug use causes. 

Think of some more reasons and be convinced. Drugs are dangerous. 

Spend time on weight training, mind building, meditation, relaxation and breathing exercises.

Tobacco; One of The first Drugs. Tobacco use can be an introduction 

to drug use because a person becomes accustomed to 

controlling substances and chemical dependency. The majority of 

smokers started before the age of 20. Adults continue to smoke 

because they are addicted.

Remember: Recognize, Reverse, and Refuse!

Organize 

Publicize 

Execute 

Have Fun! 

Each of you need practice to develop your leadership skills, so rotate the 

position, so that each member has an opportunity to lead the group. 

Take a vote each month to determine who will be that months leader. Then take a second vote to 

choose an assistant to that leader. The following month, the assistant will become the leader and 

another vote will be taken then to determine the new assistant. This way the assistant can be 

“training” for their upcoming position. Remember to eliminate the people as candidates after they 

have had an opportunity to lead the group. This way everyone will eventually have a chance to 

develop their leadership skills. After everyone has served a term, everyone is again eligible as 

candidates.

Solution: Set Goals Early 

Setting goals gives you direction and can keep you focused in the right directions 

and keeps distracting choices to a minimum. When other people (friends, peers, 

etc.) suggest activities, you can now decide for yourself if this will help or hurt 

you in your plans to achieve your goals. 

(fill in the blanks to set your own goals) 

(Ex. I will try to communicate better with my parents, brothers, and sisters, and 

also try to help them with solving problems, chores, rules, planning, etc.)
