If alcoholism runs in my family, how do i know if i have or will inherit this disease?

ALCOHOLISM ADDICTION 1 Comment »

Alcoholism is in my family but i didnt clearly understand it until now. Grandfather was a terrible alcoholic and mother has inherited the disease but avoids it by not touching a drink in 25 years. If uncle (250 lbs) touches one drink, he gets mood swings and very aggressive.

How do I know if I will inherit this disease and if so, what are the characteristics i should be watching for in my drinking life?

What anatomical changes of the brain does methamphetamine cause?

DRUG ADDICTION REHAB 2 Comments »

I know it causes a release of dopamine, but anything else? Does it just cause a release of dopamine, and from then on your brain doesn’t release as much dopamine so you aren’t as happy?

Is there anything else?

9 Steps to Financial Freedom? Show Me the Money!

ADDICTION NEWS Comments Off

’9 Steps to Financial Freedom’ by Suze Orman is a great book, and is a trusty guide to help us forge a mental environment that will attract money and success to us. Indeed, without a prosperity consciousness, money will be saying ‘goodbye’ as quickly as it says ‘hello’. So haw can we take the teachings of this book from theory to tangible financial results?

Firstly, it’s worth reminding ourselves what those 9 steps to financial freedom actually are, as they constitute the foundation for anyone looking to build lasting prosperity:

Step 1: Seeing how your past holds the key to your financial future

We all have a key memory regarding money that if we’re not careful can be a pattern of belief and behaviour that can strangle our financial success in later life.

Step 2: Facing your fears and creating new truths

This most critical of the 9 steps to financial freedom involves reprogramming our brains with new beliefs about ourselves by way of impact and repetition, in other words affirmations. Over time these new mantras can literally cut new pathways in the brain, just as happens when we learn to play a musical instrument or even riding a bicycle.

Step 3: Being honest with yourself

This is the section about budgeting and being honest with your income and outgoings. For people in constant denial of the shortfall, this can be a bitter pill to swallow, but essential in making any financial progress. You can’t fill a leaking bucket!

Step 4: Being responsible to those you love

For those wanting step 4 of the 9 steps to financial freedom to be a watertight plan for earning $100,000 in the first year, this will disappoint. It’s all about being responsible in one’s will, life assurance, trusts and pensions.

Step 5: Being respectful of yourself and your money

This is all about paring down credit card debt and the like, and readers wanting the keys to quick profits are really glazing over at this point. However. feeling in control of money makes us feel better about ourselves and lets us ‘vibrate’ in a way that attracts more money. Most people’s default ‘vibration’ repels money and success itself.

Step 6: Trusting yourself more than you trust others

Of the 9 steps to financial freedom, this is the one that gets down and dirty in the world of investments. Some readers might be thinking at his stage ‘help me make some money first so I’ve actually got something to invest!’

Step 7: Being open to receive all that you are meant to have.

This step reiterates that money doesn’t bring happiness, which is true. Happiness can attract money though. I suspect many readers here would be thinking here ‘just let me find out for myself if money makes me happy or not!’

Step 8: Understanding the ebb and flow of the money cycle.

This is my favourite of the 9 steps to financial freedom as it states that it’s during the tough times that we make the greatest inner progress, even though it might not seem so at the time.

Step 9: Recognizing true wealth

Most of us would have no problem with the notion that true happiness is about non-monetary things in our life.

While I would echo nearly all the points made in the book, some readers might be forgiven for thinking ‘now what?. Well, a success mindest is critical, but let’s examine how you might actualise some tangible success.

One increasingly favoured option is to build an online business from home. This can take many forms but one with excellent potential would be one of the many network marketing businesses that can be built online.

Now before you sigh with disappointment you need to realise that the days of hotel meetings, handing out flyers, and bugging friends are over. The internet has begun to deliver the true promise of network marketing without the gut-wrenching ‘horror’ of personal contacting. For many it has been a gold mine.

So if we consider investigating this exciting business model as step 10 out of the 9 steps to financial freedom, step 11 would have to be deciding which of the 432 online networking businesses to choose!

Perhaps a less fraught step 11 would be to look at an automated network marketing system where the only work still to do is to drive web traffic to a marketing ‘funnel’ that will cultivate a downline for you. If you plug into a system like this, your financial online ‘breakthrough’ may be closer than you think.

In fact, step 12 could be setting up your Home Business ‘launchpad’, and driving this proven vehicle to any financial destination you choose to name. Get the mental environment right. But then, take action.

Drug Addiction There is a Way Out

ADDICTION NEWS Comments Off

A drug addiction is what is referred to when a person has a physical and/or emotional compulsion to use drugs.  It’s not a simple disease to understand and many soon realize after their personality and activities change that drug treatment is probably necessary if they want full drug addiction recovery.  This chronic disease, which truly overrides every area of your being, creates chaos in your life and causes you an inability to concentrate on anything other than your drug of choice.  Not only does drug addiction cause a physical and emotional dependency on the substance, but it also has a very negative effect on normal brain function.  People who notice a loved one acting differently might want to take a closer look if there is knowledge that they dabble in drugs.  The person might need drug treatment or alcohol rehabilitation so that they are on the road to drug addiction recovery.

Do not get disheartened; there is a way out.  There are many avenues to drug treatment, but identifying the substance that is being abused is the first step.  Hard and soft drugs are vastly different from each other because hard drugs such as heroin, Oxycontin and crystal meth have very severe withdrawal symptoms which make drug addiction recovery more difficult.  Soft drugs such as marijuana, valium and other medical prescription drugs, although dangerous and addictive, are easier to treat.  Of course, alcohol, although not commonly classified as a drug, is a drug and also addictive, emotionally and physically, and the individual might need alcohol rehabilitation therapy as well.

As with any other addiction, the first step toward drug treatment and drug addiction recovery is for the individual to admit that they have a problem.  Denial will curtail any efforts toward recovery. An intervention is necessary is when there is a drastic and dangerous drug problem in need of immediate drug treatment and the person does not realize or will not admit that their addiction and actions are ruining their lives.  Secondly, it’s vital if a full drug addiction recovery is desired, to check yourself or your loved one into a drug treatment center.  If the person is a teen or young adult, it’s best to locate a rehabilitation center that specializes in this age group for a greater chance at their recovering.  With these types of programs, there is a way out and there is hope; there is a path back to living a sober, happy and healthy life.

Movies About Special-Needs People or Drug Addiction that are Recent?

DRUG ADDICTION REHAB 2 Comments »

Hey, basically I need a movie about Neuroscience and Behaivor that has been released between September 2008 and now theatrically.

These are two topics that I am most interested in finding. The first would be mental disorders, such as split-brain personality or another mental retardation… And the second would be drug addiction, preferable withdrawal.

Thanks! They must have been released between September 2008 and now.
