How- ever, there are many more people behind these numbers who are also affected. The presence of some- one's alcohol/drug problems af- fects, not only the person using the chemical, but all those who have significant relationship with the person.- Chemical dependency is often referred to as the 'family dis- ease' due to its impact on family members. Some families live in a state of perpetual turmoil and con- flict while others harbour a perva- sive sense of dread, feeling that something is definitely wrong but never quite sure what." In recognition of the Internation- al Year of the Family, guest speak- er, Lori Edey, will explore the im- pact of chemical dependency on the family, as well discuss the process of spiritual recovery for that famiy. Edey is a former Special Educa- tion teacher and Pastoral Minister. She has worked in the addictions field since 1982. Her work has in- volved both clinical and pastoral components with chemically de- pendent and their families. Drug Awareness Week is a na- tional event to raise awareness of drug and alcohol abuse. Special events like this workshop are tak- ing place across the country to en- courage comunities to work to- gether to promote healthy lifestyles. The cost of the workshop is $ 15.
