How do we say ‘no’ to drugs?

Saying how you feel

“ I don’t want to.”

Repeatedly Refusing : repeat, repeat, repeat.

“ No, thanks… No, thanks , really.”

Giving a reason or an excuse

“ It makes me sick.”

 Remembering That There is No Need to Give a Reason

“ Because I don’t want to,  that’s why.”

Turning it around

“ I don’t understand why you can’t take ‘No’ for an answer.”

Changing the subject

“Wasn’t that a great game last night?”

Blaming your parents

“My parents would be mad’’

Laughing it out

“ No, I embarrass myself enough being sober.”

Exercising the right to change your mind

 “ I know I’ve done it before , but I don’t want to now.”

Giving the Cold Shoulder

Gaining Strength in Numbers

Walking away

   ‘ Bye’
