  • A Conversation With A Fat Kid  By : Foster W. Cline And Lisa Greene
    When people thought of Robert, they automatically described him as: "Robert, that nice little blond fat kid." So when this perception seeped in and became a part of Robert's unconscious identity, he didn't even realize it. Robert's parents knew he ate too much but, what the heck. They were both overweight, too. So Robert's life was threatened to be shortened and his social life slightly warped.

  • Addiction And Depression  By : Bertil Hjert
    Depression can be termed as a terrible feeling where the addict is surrounded by a lot of thought or a farrago of different emotions. Here, the addict feels low & it lasts for about two weeks. This feeling is entirely different from feeling stressed out or sad about a specific thing or situation. This sort of a feeling exists even when there is no reason to feel depressed. The person under depression may not have the idea of when he is feeling low. In most cases, activities that used to capture his interest do not perk him up anymore.
  • Addiction as Mismanaged Desire  By : Tom Horvath
    I leave out of this discussion some Eastern approaches to living, in which the goal of proper living is the elimination of desire. In the Western tradition life is about satisfying desire. Some desires have their own names: hunger, thirst, greed, lust. Otherwise, we speak of desiring (seeking, wanting, wishing for) various objects and situations in our lives. We feel these desires with varying degrees of intensity. We spend our time identifying, sorting and acting on our desires. We attempt to satisfy those reasonably within our reach.
  • Addiction Recovery Program  By : Justin Boyce
    That is the reason most drug-users would refer to the word ‘long time’ to be a day or two especially when referring to non-substance use because time is too long with them without drugs in their system. It really will be ‘forever’ for them not to be able to use drugs in the months required to recover from drugs. Moreover, without someone to encourage them to go through the drug recovery and appreciate their effort, it will be harder for the drug-recovering person to overcome the time warp that is involved in the program of recovery from drug addiction.

  • Are All Drugs Addictive?  By : Charles Salmon
    It is quite tough a job to answer whether all drugs are addictive or not, it depends on how one defines addiction.

  • Cannabis Addiction: Help New Generation To Avoid It  By : Shanat Kuphur
    Cannabis addicts start the habit out of a fun. They start it out of curiosity and might be as a result of provocation by the friends.

  • Coping With an Addicted Parent  By : Eileen DeClemente
    I don't feel that there is any right or wrong way to cope with parents who are alcoholics and drug addicts but I have found that people cope differently according to their needs and personalities.

If your children feel as though they are able to come to you, and talk with you about what is going on in their lives and that you are going to listen to them, they are less likely to turn to drugs. While most adults want to tell their children how great childhood is and that they should be thankful for being a teenager and not an adult yet, think about being a teenager.

  • Effect Of Alcohol On The Membranes  By : suegold
    The parts which first suffer from alcohol are those expansions of the body which the anatomists call the membranes. "The skin is a membranous envelope.

  • Feelings Of Addiction  By : Eileen DeClemente
    I hit bottom from an alcoholic and drug addiction and as I slowly crawled out of a pit filled with pain, guilt, shame and disgust for myself I started to see a light as big as a pin head, something inside of me fought to keep crawling out of that pit. It took time and a lot of help from professionals but I remember so clearly the first morning I woke and I really sincerely wanted to open my eyes and keep fighting for a life for and with my family. I realized I not only was living a life of hell in an addiction but also a life of pure depression.

  • How To Stop Smoking  By : Terry Doherty
    Few people realize that Sigmund Freud’s first love was hypnosis. In 1887 Freud translated Bernheim’s On Suggestion and its Therapeutic Application into German.

Generally he endorsed the use of hypnotherapy in all of its’ forms and used it as his basis for the subconscious.

    What parents say and how they act goes a long way to enabling a child to make the right decisions as he grows older.

  • Meth: The New Crank Of The 80  By : Lora French
    If you were like me, you partied hard as a teen - drinking, smoking pot, and in the small town in Nevada that I grew up in, snorting bathtub crank – a highly addictive methamphetamine. Shortly after my first Ozzy Osborne concert in January of 1989, my parents drove me out of the fine state of Nevada and dropped me off at my first of many drug treatment centers.

  • Methadone: A Program In Shambles  By : Will Penn
    Methadone has long been the standard medical treatment for those addicted to heroin. In recent years, methadone has increasingly become accepted in the medical community to treat those with chronic pain. However, the consequences of this have been devastating. Because methadone is more widely available in prescription form and not just in a clinic setting, not surprisingly, methadone abuse has skyrocketed. A growing number of people are overdosing on methadone and even more frightening, when combined with other prescription medication, people are dying.
  • Methadone: Drug Treatment Or Just Another Addiction?  By : Lora French
    Methadone, a synthetic form of an opioid, acts much like heroin. It inhibits the opioid receptors in the brain. Where heroin releases an abundance of dopamine in the system and creates a euphoric high from this same receptor, methadone blocks the high and reduces the withdrawal symptoms from heroin. In this way, methadone has proven to be an effective form of drug treatment. According to the Office of National Drug Control Policy’s Fact Sheet on methadone, “Methadone is a rigorously, well-tested medication that is safe and efficacious for the treatment of narcotic withdrawal and dependence.”

  • Personal Responsibility   By : Tim Whiston
    The truth is such behavior is nonsensical and counterproductive. Unless somebody put a gun to your our heads and forced us to smoke cigarette after cigarette until we were finally addicted we must assume responsibility for our own dependency. And unless our family is being held hostage by terrorists who insist we continue to smoke, we must also own up to our continued nicotine use. You are the cause of your own smoking habit, and I am the cause of my former smoking habit.

  • Ten Warning Signs of Alcoholism: Observe, Detect and Treat For a Better Life  By : Graham Timson
    Understanding at least ten warning signs of alcoholism can be helpful in dealing with 'drinking problem' and countering it. Serious chronic alcoholism can be cured, if the warning signs are detected, promptly. Drinking alone is considered to be the first and foremost warning sign. Alcoholics drink alone to hide their problems from the public eye and also they tend to consume more, while drinking alone.

    Let’s start with some examples of what appear to be addiction. A college freshman ends up in the emergency room after his first binge but is not repeatedly involved with alcohol (although he may soon be). A medical patient on opiates for pain control does not crave the next injection for the "high," but simply wants pain relief. A low stakes poker player has minor losses, but the pleasure of gambling in this manner, for this individual, outweighs the cost. This last example illustrates how addiction is highly dependent of the context in which it occurs.
