Drug Exposure Starts at 9: What Every Parent Must Know

Addiction does not begin with drugs. It begins with pain, silence, emotional gaps, and missed signs. In this deeply moving episode of the Goenka Alpha Edge Podcast by GD Goenka Mohali, we sit down with Dr. Abhimanyu Rampal, Project Director of Mehar Foundation, a drug rehabilitation centre built on compassion, dignity, and the belief that addiction is a disease—not a moral failure. A medical professional who once battled substance dependence himself, Dr. Rampal shares his powerful journey from addiction to recovery through Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) and Narcotics Anonymous (NA) and how that experience reshaped his life’s purpose: helping others heal without stigma or shame. This conversation is especially important for parents, fathers, teachers, and schools who want to understand: • The real age children are first exposed to drugs • Early warning signs most parents miss • Why “my child is too young” is a dangerous myth • The role of emotional safety at home • Why a father’s presence can be a protective factor • How schools can prevent addiction before it begins • How to talk to children about drugs without fear tactics • And a powerful message of hope for families already struggling This is not a talk about drugs. This is a talk about parenting, connection, awareness, and prevention. If you are a parent, educator, or caregiver — this episode may change the way you see addiction and how you speak to your children.
