Recovering Alcoholic?

Saturday, July 9th, 2011

I was wondering… I have a friend who went to rehab for alcoholism (very much needed), but it was against his will. He’s been doing fine so far now that he’s out, but I’m worried about him. I know that, to recover, you have to -want- to recover. He didn’t when he went in. Does rehab actually help people realize they have a problem and want to recover, or do they become even more obstinate about -not- having a problem and -not- wanting to get better? Anybody have personal experience, or statistics on how many people relapse after their probation has ended? He was doing in-house treatment over a period of a year.

    Is this OK to include in my cover letter as an drug and alcohol researcher?

    Wednesday, September 1st, 2010

    I am applying for a position researching drug and alcohol use in my state. In your opinion, should I include my personal experience in helping my brother receive treatment for his own alcoholism and the steps I have taken to do so?

    Just wondering if I can add a personal touch without seeming like I am looking for sympathy. I feel like my personal experience will enhance the skills and qualities I will bring to the position.

    What are some of the alternative treatments for Bipolar Disorder?

    Sunday, June 6th, 2010

    Medications aren’t working for me for many different reasons. I’ve heard people talk about alternative treatments, but I’ve looked it up and I haven’t really found anything. Anyone else know? And if you have personal experience with them please tell me about it.
