From the Paper:

"There are certain organizations that are set up by Christian missionaries internationally that are devoted to the cause of helping people who are victims of alcohol and substance abuse. It appears that along with the medical treatment that they give them, they also send them for many sessions on religious teachings. These are the teachings that focus on the concept of God caring for His people. Through these teachings the preachers manage to establish the feeling of love and forgiveness in the hearts of these people. By the time that these individuals are through with all the religious drilling, they are so full up of emotions that they want to continue to be god human beings, and pull their lives together."
