Just rambling about why i feel into this vicious cycle of depression and anxiety and the lesson i learned. Gradually coming off medicine, and updating my thoughts while coming off pills as i hopefully one day be free and not depend on anti-depressants. I had a long 12 hour shift so i was a bit tired when i made this, but i felt like making the video before i got too lazy.

www.encognitive.com Kevan Lyons shares his war veterans poem about soldiers returning from war and fight another war with addiction.
I drink as much as I can, I am a young mother, my children our young, I have found a treatment facility that includes your children in your recovery, but since I have been AMAZING at hiding my alcoholism, all of my family and friends keep telling me that I could probably stop with "outpatients" or "you do not need to stop drinking entirely, you are fun to drink with", the catch 22 is these are the same people who tell me, when I am openly drunk around them, that I "shouldnt drink so much" or
"you cant handle your alcohol" or you are a "mean drunk", I know what they say is true, but the thing is, I CANNOT STOP DRINKING! even when I try, I cannot, I feel that. for my children, I should get help, and not to feel ashamed, since in the long run, they are going to be much happier, but I have everyone around me, in a sense, criticizing me for wanting to get this help! I am confused, I know I do not tell them all, but I still feel that they should see I am asking for help, and embrace it, ??

Alcoholism destroys families… but ignites passion.
www.WatchMojo.com’s resident comedian, John Hastings, reveals his personal research on the effects of alcohol versus illegal drugs.
Hello sweet members. I haven’t been on Yahoo in a month because of a moving transition with a family of three. I would have part of their house, (it’s huge) and they the other. I wanted to help them out. That is the way my heart is. :~)
Anyway, please bear with me while I give details of what I’m leading up to. Okay, there are two adults and a ten year old boy. To the point…They think I am trying to run the household. I had called the phone company about my modem and my internet. I was shocked when they said I had no business doing that. I have ownership of the computer and modem. I think I should be able to call about my computer. Don’t you? And I had called an electric company at random because I wanted to know how much electricity/energy a computer uses in a residence. I decided that if it cost too much to run my computer ( I’m on it a lot) I would pay them more rent. I then told them of my decision and asked if it was alright about giving them more money if the electricity was too much because of my comp. (I thought about doing it anyway) They got upset with me over that stating that I didn’t need to know their business when it came to bills. o.O What?? I didn’t call THEIR electric company. And how many people do you know say that they are going to pay more money if needed even though the money they are paying now is enough. And wouldn’t you take it? Please also know I don’t know the amount of their bills and didn’t care to know. Also know too, that last week they told me that I was great. Huh?? to what they are saying now.
Here is the clincher…
Yesterday, I told my female friend that there was too much alcohol in the house. Lots in the refrigerator etc. The male would drink every day to excess and then get unruly. My friends would fight and he would end up locking her out of the house and tell me not to let her in. One time, the child told me that my female friend had to call the police on him because of his Dad’s behavior towards her. The guy even struck his child on the jaw for something that was not the child’s fault. That beautiful child said he was afraid of his Dad and the child would tell me, when his Dad walked in some nights, that his Daddy was drunk. Many times I saw this to be true. My friends also left the sweet child with me several times so they could go out drinking. Night times out of ten they never told me where they went so I could reach them in case of an emergency. Oh! The Dad is on probation for drunk driving and has to serve some jail time because of breaking probation and getting caught drinking and driving again. Three days ago I was scared for my life and for that ten year old boy when they came to pick me up.the Dad was drinking in the car, smelled like a brewery and drove fast! I think now that I should have taken a cab and grabbed the boy out of the car to ride with me. Why do we think of things after the fact? Anyway….
I am relieved somewhat that they said I was to leave because I had it in the back of mind that this household was not mentally healthy and could lead up to being physical unhealthy in the future if it maintained the way it is. Moreover, I wanted peace and solace and was not getting it. So, I had thought of leaving and now have the motivation to do it. :~)
The question I have is this: I feel I should let someone know about the treatment of the boy and the alcoholism of the parents that is affecting him. I really love them and want to help the Dad and the woman. KYet, they don’t want it. Oh, the woman is not the biological mother of the child. She’s just his Dad’s girlfriend. (Why can’t I remember this when I am telling my episode, is beyond me. :~D) I didn’t like the fact that they were living together…okay, call me a prude…or whatever. 
Should I let someone know…I am this close *holds up two fingers* to doing so. Or should let things lie as they are.
Thank you so much.
love to you
I don’t know where to put this…:( so I put it here. and thank you again.
I apologize that this is too long to read on Yahoo!Answers. But, I need help.
You know when a person explains an episode, especially by a person like me, I explain all the details in full. Actually, the computer/modem and calling the electric company were the only things I did that my friends slam dunked me for that seemed childish. I mentioned them because in my opinion, getting upset over something so trivial was uncalled for. Also, if my friends were to call the Authorities about me grabbing that child when the Dad was drunk and driving erractically…so be it. The Authorities would have been the first persons I’d have gone to. Better that then that child be killed.
Thank you Susie for responding.
Last year from September to the end of November I stayed out all night, drank, did drugs, partied etc. and completely lost the trust of my mother. She sent me to treatment (for alcoholism and depression) twice, with no avail and after me breaking my promises many times to her and my stepdad, they sent me to live with my real dad in Korea. I really screwed up, and my mom doesn’t want me turning out like my brother who is an alcoholic and smokes weed.. During that time I’d tell her I wouldn’t do it again and I was sorry but I would end up being an idiot and screwing it up and breaking those promises. I’ve been away from her from December til now, so 5 and a half months, and I really want to go back and live with her this summer. I haven’t had a drink or done drugs for that long I’ve been away, even though it is easier here to get alcohol because they don’t card you. I’ve talked to her on facebook and tried to tell her I’ve changed but I know she’s wary to believe me. I want to convince her AND my stepdad that I have truly changed and I am a better person now, and I would hate to lie to her now and be that person I was. I am very depressed living with my dad, because my mom raised me and I feel incomplete away from her. She tells me she misses me so much but it’s hard for me to believe her since she doesn’t want me back(she even gets mad when I say that because she says it isn’t true), but I understand because for her it’s hard to believe that I have changed. School ends mid June, and I want to come home some time this summer, because if I stay here, my dads contract ends in November and I’ll have leave halfway through my Junior year.. and yes I realize I am young and it was VERY dumb of me to do what I did, but I learned that now.. and I don’t even like alcohol or anything.. the problem is living with my dad is very depressing and he doesn’t let me leave or do anything with my friends, even though the times he has let me I’ve done exactly what I told him I was and haven’t broke any promises. My dad hates my mom and doesn’t want me ever living with her again but…Please help me and tell me what I should do to convince my mom to let me come back and live with her, I want it so badly! She said after a year I could come back, but I’ve been so good I’m hoping it can be like a prison sentence and I can be released on good behavior! So any advice? Please !Thank you so much!
I see the point, fear of loosing kids, more restrictive health care, income as probable obstacles so I guess my question really is – Is it more acceptable for women to be recovering from alcoholism since the AMA declared it a disease than say to seek help for abuse of other drugs?
Are women who abuse drugs more discriminated against than women who abuse alcohol?
Lecture about the science of alcohol production (in Russian)
last year, actually december of 05, i was rushed to the emergency room with stomach pains. i was diagnosed with pancreatitus. i got it from drinking. they told me my liver and kidneys were failing and my pancreas burst into my pelvis. they said the amount of alcohol i drank was crazy. by the way, i am only 27 years old. i was given a 50% chance to survive 3 days in the hospital and when i did make it, they told me i had a year and a half to live unless i changed my lifestyle. well, i quit drinking, its been 13 months, quit smoking, been 5 months, went on a strict diet and lost 90 pounds. i feel great. although i am starting to eat more lately and my stomach has been fine. what i want to know is how many people have this or know someone who has this. how has it affected there lives. and for the better? i know i am not the only one, but all the treatment classes i go to for alcoholism, i am the only one who had this happen. i would like to know others stories. thank you
You might be saying to yourself, why do we need to use medical marijuana for alcohol dependence–can’t we just send everybody to a 12 step program and make them quit completely? The answer to this is a simple no. Although 12 step programs are great for the people that they work for, the simple fact is that 12 step programs fail to help the majority of people with alcohol problems. According to the National Institute On Alcohol Abuse And Alcoholism, only one out of every fourteen people with an Alcohol Use Disorder will ever seek treatment for it. And according to Doctor Jeffrey Brandsma and others who have researched the effectiveness of treatment programs, over two thirds of people who enroll in 12 step treatment programs will drop out without finishing them. Twelve step programs are great for the people that they work for, but something else is needed for the majority of problem drinkers who are failed by them. Fortunately, medical marijuana can fill that need for many people suffering from alcohol use disorders. Some people might view the use of medical marijuana to treat alcohol dependence as simply substituting one addiction for another. However, when we view things from a public health perspective, we find that there is a tremendous difference in the impact of alcohol dependence when compared to marijuana use. Severe alcohol withdrawal syndrome is accompanied by seizures, hallucinations, tremors, irregular heartbeat, and spikes in blood pressure. Untreated severe …
I’m not talking about those how have been diagnosed with alcoholism or are receiving treatment for their disease, I’m talking about the average people who drink alcohol with no consideration for how their behavior affects others.
For example, there is a person named Braxator who doesn’t seem to care about anyone or anything other than pleasuring himself with alcohol. We’ve had a long decision about it, and right as I was writing my last message to him, he blocks my e-mail. He could have simply ignored me from the beginning, but instead he wanted to get the last word in and then try to prevent me from responding.
If there is anyone willing to have an open, honest, and logical debate about this issue, please e-mail me. Thank you and I apologize to anyone I may have unintentionally offended.
Okay so I just went to the doctor last week and I weigh 192lbs. I am 26 years old, female and I’m 5’4”. I am very Large-Breasted (DD) so I know some of my weight comes from my breasts. I recently was in a 3 month treatment center for alcoholism. I did gain 30lbs while there. Since I have graduated from the treatment program I have been living a very happy sober life. However I feel embarrassed and ashamed of my body and weight. I replaced my alcohol for pop. I drink almost 12 12oz cans a day. I need to find some way to lose the weight and I know it will take exercise but because of my breast size it becomes difficult to do. I get extreme backaches and it gets hard to breath as well. I was wondering if I cut out the pop would I lose weight and how much about. I feel that once I get at least 20 pounds lighter it may be easier for me to exercise. I have also decided to get apple sauce and non-fat yogurt and drink only water and green tea for a couple of weeks to help lose the weight.
As anyone lost weight by just cutting out pop/soda? Any ideas on how I could exercise to where I am not in so much pain from the weight of my breast?

My brother is a heavy drinker and became belligerent with my 76 year old Mother last night. He did NOT lay a hand on her but I am afraid it won’t be long before something like that does happen. I am worried for my Mom as she has had a heart attack once and cannot take the stress of having to deal with his erratic behavior when he is drinking. He lives with her. I would like to go to the court house to talk to someone possibly putting him away to get treatment for his Psych issues (which I am sure he has as a result of his extended use of alcohol) AND at the same time address his alcoholism which has gone untreated for many many years! I love my brother (he’s 47) — but this behavior is unacceptable. Does any one have any experience with this.
PLEASE DO NOT POST ANY SARCASTIC ANSWERS TO THIS BECAUSE IT IS A VERY SERIOUS SITUATION AND I AM ASKING FOR HELP!—– thanks—

I know the alcoholism is another issue I need to address…but in the the meantime, can anyone advise me of any other treatment for BV other than metronidazole? thanks
Your body doesn’t like alcohol as much as you do,as your hangovers can attest! But what actually happens to you when you drink?
Portugal, which in 2001 became the first European country to officially abolish all criminal penalties for personal possession of drugs, including marijuana, cocaine, heroin and methamphetamine.
Under Portugal’s new regime, people found guilty of possessing small amounts of drugs are sent to a panel consisting of a psychologist, social worker and legal adviser for appropriate treatment (which may be refused without criminal punishment), instead of jail.

Many people say that Decriminalization and Ending the Drug war (letting states regulate like alcohol) will increase drug use………..However this is not the case.
THE EFFECTS OF DECRIMINALIZATION OF DRUG USE IN PORTUGAL

Is the criminal approach working?

My husband, who is 35, unemployed, and suffers from bipolar disorder, is a heavy drinker and, I’m quite sure, an alcoholic. He weighs approximately 400 pounds (down from his max of 564, but up from the 300 he hit after gastric bypass in 2000). He drinks anywhere from 12 to 30+ beers a day (I wish I was exaggerating). We have two small children (5 and 2 years old). No matter what I say, what statistics I quote about children of alcoholics being at risk for maladaptive behaviors, depression, anxiety, etc., or how often (or how gently) I tell him his drinking is harming our marriage, his health, our financial situation (he spent over ,500 in alcohol in the past 3 months despite not having a job), and our children’s possibility of having a happy, healthy future, he refuses to stop or even slow down his drinking, let alone seek treatment. He uses his high level of stress (mainly from his unemployment and our rather dire financial state, not to mention the state of our marriage) as an excuse to drink. He is a highly manipulative person and makes life extremely difficult for me as it is, so I know if I chose to divorce him, he would make my life a living hell. I’m sure I would get custody of the children based on his behavior, but that doesn’t mean he wouldn’t fight me tooth and nail simply out of spite. Worse, he might run off with the kids or do something even more drastic (you see it in the news all the time). I have no idea what to do, where to turn, or who to talk to. At this rate, how long will it likely take before he damages his body beyond repair? Maybe I can scare him into quitting or even toning it down. What other options do I have? I do love him and would rather not divorce him, but can’t see any light at the end of the tunnel at this point. I would appreciate any and all suggestions.
