Alcoholism Cure - Herbs and Ayurvedic Remedies, Alcoholism Treatment - Alcoholism is defined as an irresistible urge to consume alcohol. RVUs- Whose Value Is It, Anyway? - As I discuss career options with a group of third year medical students, I imagine a marketing brochure for psychiatry residencies in a world of mental health parity: The brain is undeniably the most complex organ of the human body. Alcoholism - Herbs and Ayurvedic Remedies, Symptom of Alcoholism and Other Treatments - What is Alcoholism? Alcoholism is defined as an irresistible urge to consume alcohol. People suffering from alcoholism are very well aware of the dangerous effects alcohol could have on their bodies, but still they are unable to resist the urge to consume it. They will usually drink beyond acceptable limits and will be in an inebriated state most often, causing embarrassment and inconvenience to the people with them. Most people who consume alcohol have more than they can manage. This is seen in alcohol drinkers who lose control of their senses when they have one drink too many. Such an overstepping of limits is called as alcohol abuse. People who abuse alcohol are having more alcohol than their body allows them, but they have not yet come totally under the control of their alcohol habit. Looking For Redemption At The Bottom Of A 12-Pack - I spent many years looking for redemption at the bottom of a twelve pack. Guess what? I never found it. The dictionary describes redemption as: the act of delivering from sin or saving from evil. Did I feel as if I needed saved? Not necessarily, but I did feel that altering my 'reality' with the help of alcohol was something I enjoyed doing, and at the time, I did enjoy it. But once I finally stepped away and got a sober perspective, I realized that thinking the way I did then was literally insanity. Coping Responsibly with Addiction - Do You Get It? - Preventing and Coping with Problems While preventing a problem before it happens is usually "better" than facing the problem, typically it also involves a different level of complexity. Let me explain. Preventing genital herpes or AIDS, for instance, is obviously "better" AND far easier to deal with than curing these diseases. In fact, given our current medical knowledge, both genital herpes and AIDS are without cure. As another example, consider unwanted pregnancy. Again, unwanted pregnancy is far easier to prevent and usually less difficult to cope with than an abortion or bringing an unwanted child into the world. As a final example, think about the people who have lost their driver's license for six months due to the fact that they got caught driving with marijuana in their vehicle. The Internet: The Latest Form of Addiction? - Internet-Related Addictions In my travels through cyberspace, I have noticed an increasing number of websites and blogs discussing various forms of Internet-related addictive behavior. In fact, I have recently encountered the following online dependencies: porn, gambling, video games, comment addiction (i.e. The False High of Addiction - The Doctor Who Had Everything While scanning the information on the Titusonenine blog, I recently read a post entitled "A Bout With Addiction, for the Doctor Who Has Everything" that captured my interest. According to the post, Dr. G. was an anesthesiologist who became addicted to drugs. After entering a drug rehab clinic, unfortunately, he never returned to his medical practice. The Need for Excitement Dr. G's story was interesting for a number of reasons, but at a very basic level of analysis the problem was clear. To everyone else, Dr. G. had everything: power, financial resources, prestige, position, and respect and admiration from others. Apparently, however, there was one thing that Dr. G. didn't have: excitement--something thrilling that would add zest to his life. Unfortunately, Dr. G. looked to drugs to provide the "high" his life was lacking. Apart from the unfortunate reality that Dr. G. The Effects of Smoking and Drinking On Mental Proficiency - Smoking Can Prime the Brain for Later Addiction An article entitled "Adolescent Smokers Have A Greater Risk Of Developing Alcohol-use Disorders Than Nonsmokers" by Richard A. Grucza, and Kevin W. Chen revealed research findings that are problematic at best. Perhaps the most disturbing was this: research suggests that smoking "primes" the brain for later addiction to alcohol and perhaps other drugs. When added to the following statistic, this information is very disconcerting: alcohol and smoking, when considered independently or in combination, account for more than 20 percent of the annual fatalities in the United States. Alcohol-Use Disorders It is common knowledge that many people started smoking and drinking when they were teenagers. According to research findings, moreover, smokers, especially adolescent smokers, unmistakably have a greater susceptibility to alcohol-use disorders (AUDs) than do non-smokers. The Mixed Messages in our Society About Drinking Alcohol - An Issue of Mixed Messages How can something as prevalent, accepted, and accessible in our society as drinking alcohol be so harmful, unhealthy, AND illegal when consumed at or slightly above moderate intake levels? The simple asking of this question immediately uncovers a number of issues, one of which is the mixed messages that exist in our society about drinking alcohol. The Accessibility and Acceptability of Alcohol On the one hand, consider the thousands upon thousands of bars and taverns in the United States. The Basics EVERYONE Must Know About Alcoholics Anonymous And Addiction Treatment - One of the oldest forms of dealing with addiction is to be a member of Alcoholics Anonymous (simply known as AA). Quitting the Negative Cycle of Excuses and Addiction - Dulling the Pain I have heard people say that they abuse alcohol and drugs to "dull the pain." In fact, many of these same individuals state that almost everyone they know has a need to "dull the pain" somehow. Question: doesn't life present all of us with pain? Do You Like To Have A Beer Or Three? Me too - I find it perplexing how a person's thinking can becomeâ€¦â€¦..well clouded. I quit drinking quite a while ago and it seems to me that things become clearer almost by the day. I was having a discussion with a friend about my drinking, back when I drank. People used to say, "come on over and have a beer" all of the time. And, of course, I would oblige them. The funny thing was it was never, and I mean never A beer. It always ended up being at least three beers and most times many more than that. Was I an alcoholic? I don't know, but I do know I drank a lot. In my estimation, it became too much, so I stopped. Beyond Sobriety - Congratulations! Now that you are sober, you have released yourself from the bonds of your addiction. Taking your power back from alcohol can be seen as a completion, a graduation, of the first of a series of seven mini "courses". You can now choose to enroll in the second course toward your "degree" in Taking Control of Your Life. Anything you do to an extreme is a way of running away from yourself. So the next course is to Take An Inventory of other addictions you may have. The War on College Alcohol Abuse - What causes college students to abuse alcohol? The answers are probably many, but the simplest answer is this: Because they can. The Four Main Symptoms Of Alcoholism - For most of us, a trip to the bar for a drink is no big deal. Many go out with friends to have a few while socializing. Some choose to celebrate a special occasion, such as a wedding, or a promotion. Others may even use it as an opportunity to blow off a little steam after a long week at work. Alcoholism - Causes and Effects - Alcoholism is the inability to control or ignore a strong craving for alcohol. People suffering from alcoholism often find that they need the aid of alcohol to feel good or normal. They often crave alcohol, but this craving is much stronger than the occasional craving people have for certain foods. The craving for alcohol experienced by those suffering from alcoholism is often so severe that the individual feels they need alcohol as if it were food or water. They do not feel they can go a day, or in some extreme cases, an hour, without consuming alcohol. Alcoholism is not characterized by the type of alcohol consumed or how much alcohol is needed to satisfy the craving. Alcoholism, Is There A Way Out? - Do you spend all your money just to buy a weeklong supply of wine rather than food? How many more times do you feel rage because you've run out of wine in the cellar rather than the times you've run out of food in the refrigerator? For any regular person who doesn't drink as much, these rages may not happen but for an alcoholic these are not peculiar situations. Love Your Life, Quit Drinking - Is your drinking habit getting on your spouse's nerves? Do you feel that your family is slowly drifting away from you? Is your life moving in a direction that you otherwise don't want to go? Are you one of the millions of people suffering from alcoholism? Often times it is difficult to accept the fact that one is already suffering from the symptoms of alcoholism. Sometimes this starts out as light indulging with a group of friends. Sometimes work dictates the occasion of alcohol consumption, maybe a few shots of alcohol with important clients, but sometimes this innocent indulging can progress into chronic bouts of heavy alcohol drinking and before you can say no to another drink you are already deep into the habit. Alcoholism - Easy Ticket To Death - How often do you drink alcohol? Is it your lifestyle? When was the last time you actually said no to a bottle of whisky? Through the years, alcohol has become part of any social gathering, be it a business gathering or a get together party with friends and family. Help For The Alcoholic! - Question: If an alcoholic is unwilling to get help, what can you do about it? Alcoholics don't respond very well to advice, suggestions, or threats. One would imagine that under these circumstances an alcoholic is doomed to oblivion. You must realize the alcoholic is desperate to get more and more alcohol, and he or she may lie, cheat and steal in order to do so. Very simply, an alcoholic is a person whose life is controlled by alcohol. They are sick. Question: If the alcoholic is sick why doesn't he or she just go to the hospital? Because in the early stages of alcoholism, the alcoholic does not appear sick, in pain, or visibly abnormal.
