Vices lead to self destruction

Today marks the third Friday of the month. Thus, another PALS assembly. Every meeting one of us is tasked to make a "talk" regarding the current issues that teenage today is facing. My friend Tin is assigned today. Vices is her topic. She focused on DRINKING (for those who are sarcastic, i'm referring to alcoholic drinks) and SMOKING. Most of us admitted that we drink (me included) . Some in moderation while some (i think) are careless.Why does addictions like this are bad? Well. I have an answer to that. Our body is the TEMPLE OF GOD. Our soul is what lies within us. So, what does this imply? Knowing the fact that we, indeed, are a part of God's creation, have the responsibility to take care of ourselves. If we continue to be naive and to still engage in such addictions will lead us in jeopardy. Not only in ourselves but also to the people who loves us like our family and friends. Keep in mind that whenever we hurt ourselves or the people we love, God also feels that pain.
I drink though I still keep in mind my responsibilities. I'll do my best to never be drunk (again).
(I know that the person reading this post is probably thinking that I'm such a psycho. Forgive me. I learned a lot during that talk. Just want to share it with you guys and hopefully you'll learn something.)
