INyanga yeSizwe yoThintelo lokuqhuba abaSebenzisayo nabanxilileyo
Ukususela kwi1981, uDisemba uye waqatshelwa njengeNyanga yeSizwe yoThintelo loKuqhuba abaNxilileyo kunye neZiyobisi. Ngaphambi kokuba ubhalisele ukubhala le post yebhlog, bendingayazi loo nto, ke bendifuna ukufumanisa ukuba kutheni! Yintoni udibaniso phakathi kuka December nokuqhuba enxilile/enxilile? Ngokutsho koLawulo lweZiyobisi kunye noLawulo lweeNkonzo zeMpilo yeNgqondo (SAMHSA), UDisemba yinyanga ebulalayo ekuqhubeni enxilile kwaye esebenzise iziyobisi, kunye neveki ephakathi kweKrisimesi noSuku loNyaka Omtsha ezibanga ubomi obungaphezulu kunomndilili.
Ubusazi na ukuba umqhubi onxilileyo ophakathi uqhube enxilile Amaxesha angama-80 ngaphambi kokubanjwa kwabo okokuqala? Olu lolunye lwamanani aphawulekayo endiwakhumbulayo kwiiveki ezingama-50 zeklasi zokufundisa ngotywala ezaziyalelwe yinkundla. Kuko oko; Bendingumqhubi onxilileyo.
Ndikhumbula ndivuka ekuseni ndilele phantsi kwigumbi lokuhlala lomhlobo wam osenyongweni, ngethemba lokuba yayiliphupha elibi eli. Kodwa ndandisazi ukuba kwakungenjalo xa ndabona itikiti namanye amaphepha ephuma kwisipaji sam. Emva koko kuye kwafuneka ndenze umnxeba oyoyikisayo kumama ukuba ndimxelele okwenzekileyo kuba ndiyazi ukuba ndiza kujongana neziphumo endingenakukwazi ukuzifihla kubantu endihlala nabo (ndala) (ndandisanda kuphumelela ekholejini ndabuyela ekhaya. nabazali bam, ewe!). Ndandizaliswe kukuphoxeka, uloyiko, kunye nexhala ngenxa yoko kwakunokwenzeka, okusenokwenzeka, kunye noko usapho lwam nabahlobo bam ababenokucinga ngam ngenxa yezenzo zam.
Ukongeza kwiiklasi zotywala ngeveki, kwakufuneka ndihlawule imali yenkundla kunye nezohlwayo, ndigqibe iiyure ezingaphezu kwe-100 zenkonzo yoluntu, ukuya kwi-Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) ipaneli yempembelelo yexhoba, ndifake isixhobo sokuvala kwisithuthi sam, kwaye ndingenise I-urinalysis yemihla ngemihla (UAs) ngenxa yokuba ndandingavumelekanga ukusela utywala. Emva kokuba yonke into yayithethiwe kwaye yenziwe, ndandihlawule ngaphezulu kwe-10,000 yeedola ngenxa yokungakhathali kwam, singasathethi ke ngokungenakuthetheleleka nokungacingelwa ngokuyingozi, ukukhetha ukusela nokuqhuba. Okanye ngamanye amazwi, njengoko ndafunda kuzo zonke iiklasi zam zotywala, ngendiqeshe inqwelo-ntaka ukuba indibhabhe ndigoduke ngobo busuku, indibiza kancinci kwaye ininzi. khu seleko.
Kusenokuvakala ngathi ndiyakhalazela ukohlwaywa kwam, kodwa andikhalazi. Ngelo xesha, yayivakala inzima kakhulu, kodwa kwakhona ndandinombulelo ngokufunda isifundo sam ngaphandle kokulimaza nabani na ongomnye, kuquka abahlobo bam ababini ababekhwele kwinqwelo-mafutha yam kunye naye nabani na endadibana naye endleleni ngobo busuku okanye mna, okanye ukonakalisa nayiphi na impahla. Nditshilo ngaphambili kwibhlog yam yokuba umqhubi onxilileyo uqhube ngaphezulu kwamaxesha angama-80 ngaphambi kokubanjwa kwabo okokuqala, kwaye ngelixa ndingakhumbuli ukuba mangaphi amaxesha endiqhube phantsi kwempembelelo ngeli xesha ebomini bam, yayingeyiyo. ixesha lokuqala. Kwaye ukuba andizange nditsalwe ngobo busuku, mhlawumbi ngengazange ibe yeyokugqibela. Esi siganeko sabutshintsha ubomi bam; ukusela nokuqhuba akuseyonto ikhethwayo.
Ngoko kwakhona, ukuba ndivakala ngathi ndiyakhalaza, andinjalo. Ngombulelo, ndibe nethamsanqa ngokwaneleyo lokufunda isifundo esixabisekileyo (kwaye siyabiza) ngaphandle kwawo nawaphi na amaxhoba. Xa ndafumana i-DUI yam ngo-2011, u-Uber wayevela ngokukhawuleza njengokhetho olusebenzayo lokukhwela uhambo olukhuselekileyo ukuya ekhaya kwizixeko ezikhulu, kodwa ngelishwa, kwakungekabikho indlela eya eHighlands Ranch, eColorado. A kwamva nje yi-Journal of American Medical Association (JAMA) yafumanisa ukuba i-rideshare ziye zanciphisa iingozi zemoto nge-38.9%.
Ngoko ke isifundo sam masibe sisifundo kuwe. Nceda ungayifumani ngendlela enzima. Ngoku ilixesha leeholide, lixesha elihle lokukhumbuza abahlobo bakho, usapho kunye nabantu obathandayo ukuba ukuqhuba uphantsi kwempembelelo ayisokuze ibe ngumbono olungileyo. Ngaphambi kokuba uqalise ukusela, yiba nesicwangciso. Ungatyumba umqhubi ochongiweyo okanye usebenzise iinkonzo ze-rideshare ezifana ne-Uber okanye i-Lyft, okanye mhlawumbi uhlala kwindawo ye-metropolitan, kwaye unokufikelela kwizithuthi zikawonke-wonke okanye zakudala, iteksi.
IiHolide ezimnandi kwaye ukhumbule ukubhiyozela ngokuthembekileyo!
