(NOTE: Please read the articles at the end of this entry) The other day on the radio I heard some shocking statistics about depression and suicide as it relates to the military. Personally, I don’t think there could be many… Read More . . . → Read More: Depression, anxiety and addiction are leading to high suicide rates in the Military The article I have written voices my disagreement with the bulk of thinking by a writer named Laurie Couture. What follows is one of her statements about how awful it is that childrens’ rights are ignored. The author goes on to suggest that if children had all the rights they should have and we could meet all their needs (i.e a world of no spanking, no traditional school discipline, etc) – it would likely result… Read More . . . → Read More: Raising a Child Perfectly Does NOT Guarantee a Perfect Child …if they bought into the notion below. I am developing sites to help people find good halfway houses and sober livings if they are coming out of treatment. On the home page I found myself writing the following paragraph, which sums up what I am about. For people who can’t toil through my longer stories in this blog — here it is in a nutshell, off the site The Halfway House Guide. I… Read More . . . → Read More: Dual Diagnosis — Most alcoholics and addicts could come close to “finding a cure” Suboxone is becoming a somewhat controversial treatment for anybody who is trying to kick an opiate addiction. It almost completely removes the awful pangs of withdrawal and powerful cravings from opiates (Vicodin, Oxycontin, Oxycodone, Heroin. etc). The controversy is arising over the fact that people are saying even though you do not experience the euphoria with Suboxone, you can get addicted to it. Worse, the withdrawals from Suboxone are supposedly harder to deal with than… Read More . . . → Read More: An attempt at answering why Suboxone has a street value I read this in an advertised Blogupp entry that started out as follows: Bi Polar Disorder Written by: Baby J on May 4, 2010.One day you wake up and everything is perfectly normal. You wake your kids, make breakfast and kiss your husband good day. All it takes is one incident. Something you’d never expect, yet the perfect trigger. In my case it was a liar. That

One of them focused on how you THINK as a person. He was so convinced you could “think” yourself to any degree of success he wrote a second book called “Think and Grow Rich”. If somebody wrote a book about addicts and how they think, the title might be something depressing like “Think and You Will Discover You Have… Read More . . . → Read More: Addicts or Depressives and Self-Destructive Thinking Personally, I am sick and damned tired of hearing about how Michael Jackson’s doctor killed him. There is a really good reason why the charges against Dr. Conrad written about today on April 5th (link below) are manslaughter — NOT homicide charges. The prosecution would LOSE a murder trial! After caring for hundreds of addicts in my sober living homes I feel qualified to tell you how it all went down. Though I loved Michael… Read More . . . → Read More: Michael Jackson: Addiction Killed Him, and He Knew He Was Close to Death
The key to long term success in recovery is beginning with a solid treatment program. It is critical that you develop a solid foundation from which you can start working to get better, and proper treatment is the only way to build that foundation. Simply detoxing to break the addiction cycle cannot substitute for a longer term treatment plan, and by just detoxing and then installing yourself in a sober living you are… Read More . . . → Read More: Substance Abuse and Mental Health Treatment – How to Find the “Right” Center What follows is a letter to a lady friend who described her boyfriend’s habit of drinking quite a bit 4 times a week or so. Also she thought his mood was generally low, but overall she had adjusted to the situation and was not overly concerned, and had a good relationship. Dear Lola:
I can appreciate your dilemma — and unfortunately my dear, it is a dilemma. So you might not like exactly

It was themed on these two extreme once A-level teen stars, Corey Feldman and Corey Haim. Feldman was married to a fairly normal and nice girl who couldn’t stand the fact that Corey Haim had moved into their house. Haim was a slob, the Feldman’s were neat. Haim had no respect for Feldman’s wife — he lived in… Read More . . . → Read More: Corey Haim – Dead, likely of a drug overdose. The disease of addiction and more… |
