Recovery is like Discipleship - Let’s say you did a “man on the street” survey of Americans and asked them what religion they practiced. Off the top of my head I would guess that well over half would say “Christian.” That response might take a few different forms, as many would respond “Catholic,” or “Lutheran,” or name some other denomination. Taking their response on face value, you then ask them if they are a disciple. A what? Addiction Is Like Drowning! - The expressions on their faces reflect their experience of helplessness and fear, when people recall what it is like to come close to drowning. It’s difficult at best to try to imagine what near drowning is like for those of us who have not gone through that experience, but the frightening tales that are shared in our group discussion on spirituality and 12-Step bring a chilling illustration to our understanding of the first three steps. STEP ONE: We admitted that we were powerless over our addiction--that our lives had become unmanageable. “Brian” was out fishing on a small lake when his boat capsized. 7 Step Guide to Creating a Life of Substance Abuse - While it is probable that no one consciously sets out to create a life of substance abuse, those who end up addicted to substances are choosing certain thoughts, beliefs, and behaviors that will likely end up leading to some form of substance abuse - drugs, alcohol, nicotine, food, junk food, sugar, and/or caffeine. Todays Men's Grooming Products - Times have definitely changed for men over the past couple of decades. This is because more and more men are paying far more attention to their grooming habits then their fathers ever did. One new sign of the times is mens salons that feature a broad range of grooming products designed specifically for men such as skin creams, anti wrinkle lotions and moisturizers. What You Need to Know About Drug Abuse Treatment Processes - The definition of "drug abuse" is described as the usage of psychoactive drugs and physical performance development drugs for non-medical reasons. Some examples of abused drugs are cocaine, amphetamines, barbiturates, morphine, heroin, alcohol, benzodiazepines, and other opium-derived drugs such as codeine and hydrocodone. The Tragedy of Heath Ledger - On Tuesday January 22, 2008, actor Heath Ledger was found dead in his SOHO New York apartment. Ledger, who was a rising star among Hollywood's powerful A-list talent, was only 28 years old. Currently, there are somewhat conflicting stories on the death of this young man. Some say that Ledger had a long running problem with substance abuse, while other sources cite that the Australian actor, accidentally overdosed on sleeping pills. Whatever the findings may be in the near future, this is a tragic story of a wasted talent. Why Ice Pick Scars Appear? - The best acne scar removal treatment should include a biological skin regeneration protein substance that also contains topical antimicrobial peptides that counters acne infection. Once acne inflammation occurs, caused by bacteria infection in blocked pores, a person may develop several different lesion types. Scar Products - Hydroxy acids, like salicylic acid and glycolic acid, are widely used as exfoliating agents and for skin peels. They remove devitalized skin cells and also loosen and slowly reduce or dissolve skin lesions like skin tags, surgical scars, age spots, keloid scars, burn scars, acne scars, stretch marks, moles, and sun damage marks. Addictions and Recovery - "It'll never happen to me." That's the line you hear everyone say about becoming addicted when it comes to alcohol and substance abuse. To the user, that first drink...that first experience on any given drug is "amazing"...especially if you're in your teens. What's really amazing is the percentage of the people who don't get addicted from the first use. Even more amazing are the reasons for the initial use. Back in the 1980s, the reason was, "It'll make you feel good." Anyone remember that commercial? Alcohol ETG Urine Test - Since decades, simple urine tests and breathalyzers were used to detect if one has consumed alcohol recently but no method was able to answer if one has taken alcohol last week! List Of Famous Death Cases By Accidental Drug Overdose - Drug overdose is a serious problem. It should not be taken for granted because it can lead to death. There are a lot of popular people from all over the world who became a victim of drug overdose. Here are some of them: 1. John Belushi - He used to be a comedian actor during his time. He was on his peak way back 1970's because he used to be a star in Saturday Night Live. Substance Abuse: Realizing You Have a Problem - Substance abuse is one of those tricky phrases that aren't as easy to define as one might think at first. In the simplest terms, substance abuse is defined as a pattern of dangerous use of any substance, most typically for mood-altering reasons. In today's society, however, a substance that can be abused ranges from anabolic steroids and inhalants to the "harder" drugs such as heroin and cocaine. When most people think of substance abuse, they connect the phrase to the use of illegal drugs. These drugs were deemed illegal for a reason: these drugs have negative affects on the user's health and can lead to serious financial and addiction issues. However, legal substances are being abused more and more in contemporary times. Cocaine Use by College Students and Celebrities - Cocaine Use Increases An article entitled "Cocaine Epidemic Feared As Cocaine Deaths Nearly Double In Florida Over Past 5 Years" was featured on the "Medical News Today" website on October 21, 2006. Not surprisingly, the information contained in this article was quite disconcerting. For instance, one of the key points in the article was that cocaine use is on the rise among college students with disposable income and also among high-profile celebrities. Perhaps of more importance, however, are two facts that are associated with the escalation in cocaine use: the increased cocaine-related emergency room visits and the rising cocaine-related fatalities. Substance Abuse Treatment: A Well Rounded Approach to Recovery - Many substance abuse drug rehabs and mental health treatment programs are beginning to recognize that addressing mind, body, and spirit in their treatment programs provides clients with a well-rounded and comprehensive protocol for sobriety and recovery. Very few treatment facilities have incorporated a philosophy that incorporates all four of these principles simultaneously. Alcohol and Honesty - Irene, in her late 40s, had been in an out of treatment centers for years before consulting with me. When in treatment, she was fine, with no desire to drink, but once she returned home with her husband, Frank, and two adolescent children, it didn't take long before she was back to drinking. Even though she faithfully attended AA meetings, she could not stay sober once she returned home. The Facts About Alcohol Rehab and Drug Rehab Programs - Alcohol rehab and drug rehab centers and programs require a sincere dedication on the part of the addict to make sure that they are successful in their task. Some say that if the person addicted to the substance abuse is dedicated and sincere about wanting to be rehabilitated, that is as much as 50% of the way to the road to recovery. So clearly, finding the right alcohol rehab program or drug rehabilitation center can make all the difference. If you choose the wrong program, your chances for successful treatment are greatly reduced. The Problem Didn't Start With Lindsay Lohan - "...The time has come to stop the sale of slavery to the young..." Lyndon Baines Johnson Often times, we look at celebrities and believe that their lives are easy; at least easier than our own lives. When we see celebrities who publicly suffer with some type of addiction, those living outside of the "Hollywood bubble", are far from sympathetic; "Look at them with all their money; Let their money buy them out of their problems." We tend to chime in with little remorse while believing that those with fame are somehow more morally corrupt than most. Drug and substance abuse is a deadly and devastating problem that reaches communities of all types. 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. 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.
