Welcoming a Relationship with Alcohol

It is certainly not a subject line that you read every day. Most if not all of the articles, books, blogs, and research I have read regarding alcohol revolves around addiction. I read about the people that have allowed alcohol to ruin their lives, the people that have...

92% of people who set New Year’s Resolutions never achieve them.

According to the University of Scranton, only 8% of people who make New Year’s Resolutions achieve them. I must say, I was surprised to hear the numbers were so low. I was hoping for at least a 30% success rate. This immediately made me think and wonder why. Why do so...
