7 Substance and alcohol abuse
With regard to alcohol consumption, there is drinking habits that are of social nature, while other habits are the heavy and intolerable. It is more likely that partners or rather family members who are heavy drinker and habitual substance abuser exhibit violent behavior.
When we meet aggressor, it is of importance to really dig down to know why they act the way they do. Then can more favourable intervention be presented to them which will be of much help especially to reform them. I normally say, any aggressive behaviour directed to me is a cry for help from my aggressor. When i sometimes exhibit violent behavior and i sit down reflect and laugh at myself and i look stupid. Whoever is aggressive feel the same only they have no one to help them surface it and move beyond their situation.
Me and you can do something to help them.

Writer Profile
Dennis Nyakundi Onguti
I am the sixth of eight children of a polygamous family. After graduating from high school, I was asked to help in a local girls secondary school teaching mathematics after the death of the teacher. This time was exciting and it was then that I had an opportunity to see my own potential and those of the young people. I realised encouragement and the availability of resources can unleash the inner strength of the young to do great things and I promised to dedicate myself to the service of the young. In 1999, I entered into a religious missionary congregation of the Consolata with the intention of becoming a priest so I can reach young people all over the world.
I finished my first degree in philosophy in 2003 with a diploma in religious studies. I took a one year break to one of the provinces for one year helping the young people to develop micro-scale business. It was really a beautiful experience!
I am currently pursuing a degree in Religious studies and a diploma in Youth Ministry.
