Добре, що мерія і єпархія в Екатеринбурзі хочуть разом працювати над тверезістю. У нас у Києві теж багато сімей через алкоголь страждають, особливо коли свята. Цікаво, що саме вони планують робити — лекції в школах чи може центри допомоги?

კარგია, რომ ეკატერინბურგში მერია და ეპარქია ერთად იღებენ ამ საქმეს. ჩვენთან თელავშიც ხშირად ხდება, რომ დღესასწაულზე კაცი გადაწყვეტს „კიდევ ერთი“ და მერე კვირები სჭირდება გამოსასწორებლად. საინტერესოა, რას გააკეთებენ კონკრეტულად — მხოლოდ ლექციებს თუ რეალურ დახმარებასაც შესთავაზებენ ოჯახებს?

In Barcelona we also see the same thing, especially at the major festivals when people go from one drink to the next. I am glad that the mayor's office and the eparchy are really coming together, I hope it doesn't just stop at talks and they set up something practical like support groups or help for families. Does anyone know what specific measures have been announced?

I, too, sometimes have relatives over the holidays, especially at Christmas. In Vinnytsia, the diocese and the local authorities have been holding talks in schools and free support groups for those who want to quit for several years. And what exactly are they doing in Kyiv, Natalia?

Carlos García

I hope so, Pablo. In Valencia the same thing also happens during the patron saint festivities, people start with a beer and end up getting out of control. I liked that you mentioned support groups; Here the parish already has a small one on Tuesdays for those who want to stop drinking, and the families appreciate that it is not just talk. In Barcelona, have they tried something similar in the parishes?

Paula López

I hope that alliance in Ekaterinburg really works, Carlos. At Valencia festivals it's the same, it starts with a beer and ends badly. The Tuesday group thing in your parish sounds practical, especially if the families appreciate it; here in Buenos Aires ours is on Thursdays and we always end up also talking about how to organize the house without alcohol. In Valencia, does the group include some hiking or sports to entertain?
