Drug Addiction Treatment, Do You Need Help? - Substance dependency treatment is available to assist any individual with an addiction or substance use problem. Each treatment is tailored to individual needs so that they can learn to control their addiction and live normal, productive lives. Let's start with these suggestions: First, you need to admit your problem. This first step may be the hardest step to seeking the drug addiction treatment you need. 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? Sobriety Birthday - "Foul is fair, fair is foul" said by the one and only Shakespeare. Boozing might be heaven for you but at the same time poison for others. It is simply because your life partner is too irritated with your alcoholic machismo and your friends are bored with your gibberish that you utter while deep intoxication. You may feel absolutely wonderful, the ruler of the entire world amazingly and flying in the air to cherish your addiction, but as soon as it gets over you feel absolutely disgusting because you dizzily remember all the stupid, obnoxious things you have done with them whom you love and without whom your life would be simply miserable. If you love to booze and sometimes lose control over yourself, its high time buddy. 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. 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., checking the comments on one's blog), Internet addiction, blog addiction, Technorati addiction, forum addiction, information addiction, MySpace addiction, and addiction to Bloglines. 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. 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. 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. Now add to this list the restaurants, night clubs, sporting events, festivals, state fairs, hotels, casinos, carnivals, etc. where alcoholic beverages are regularly served. 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). Many people that are getting to know about this group of people recently are having some misconceptions about the group. Some people see them as a bunch of unserious people with no effective means of dealing with the problem of alcohol addiction. Others perceive them as being irrelevant in the modern days of technology. There are even some that share the belief that the group cannot help an addict. What is 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? Should Parents Test Adolescents for Substance Use? - Much has been made recently of the opportunities afforded by recent technology for parents to obtain cheap alcohol and drug testing facilities. So are these a real boon to parents. Is it a positive step being able to test your teenager for alcohol and drugs? Instead of getting the surly automatic denial, is it not a genuine benefit to be able to get a definitive answer so that both parents and adolescents know whether drugs or alcohol are being consumed? Do parents really need to use a testing kit to tell if their kids are using drugs. True it can be difficult sometimes. If we read the help books and information pamphlets that tell us the signs and symptoms of alcohol and drug use in adolescents we get a fairly comprehensive list. 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. Are you smoking? Do you overwork? Be honest with yourself and acknowledge all of your excessive patterns. 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. Surviving Spring Break - If you have children in high school or college, you know all about the importance kids place on Spring Break. This rite of passage, practiced by teens for decades, is for many parents the first time they allow their kids to travel without them. Almost a declaration of independence, this one- to two-week period in the months of March and April is a time when most young people feel free to do anything and everything they can't - or won't - do at home under your watchful eyes. It's no secret that many Spring Break vacations involve promiscuous sex, excessive drinking, drugs, and in some cases, violence. In fact, that is why many teens want to go on Spring Break. Finding Alcohol Rehab and Drug Rehab Programs - When you love someone close to you, sometimes you need to make the tough decisions. When someone you are close to is obviously abusing alcohol or drugs, you know that the best thing you can do to help them is to get them into a rehab program. It will be hard for them and perhaps hard for you as well, but you know that this is what you need to do for them to help them before the problem gets worse. The over-consumption of alcohol is currently rated to be the third most preventable type of death in the US today. Change Our Focus, Change Our Society - Do you ever wonder why although so much of our tax dollars go to government programs to resolve society's problems, things seem to be getting worse? Are you appalled while reading the papers or listening to the news because you do not understand why so many adults and children are hurting themselves and others? Possibly the main reason why many of our programs have failed, why abuse is so widespread, is because society has been focusing on the symptoms and not the causes. Drug Addiction Rehab Programs Effectiveness - Drug addiction rehab is a generic phrase, which refers to drug rehabilitation, and presupposes a medical treatment for the dependency of legal or illegal drugs, alcohol, even nicotine or any other psychoactive substance. If you are longing or craving to use again and again a drug, then it doesn't matter if the substance behind that drug is legal or illegal, what you need is a drug addiction rehab. 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. To some though, the act of having a few can lead to serious problems. These people suffer from an addiction to alcohol. In other words, they suffer from alcoholism, otherwise known as being an alcoholic. Those who suffer from alcoholism don't always show signs of there being a problem. 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.
