I’ve been on the drug for over a year now, and I’m tired. Tired of wasting all my money on it, my mind is tired, and my body is tired. I realize I can’t continue on this way, but at this point it’s all I know it seems. And in the back of my mind, I feel as if I’m going to be missing out on a lot of fun with a lot of new friends I’ve made. And then there’s the weight loss, sometimes I think that I’m addicted to the weight loss and not the drug. I can’t turn anywhere else for advice because the people that don’t know about, don’t need to find out and the ones that do are just as addicted as I am. I never thought I’d be in this boat, but now that I am, I need to find an oar.
I am a little concerned, one of my close friends and colleagues is on a dietar/weight loss meds that is called Phentermine or branded Duramin. As it sounded a bit like Meth, the dangerous party drug I am concerned if my friend is moving herself onto a dangerous road.
1. Is Phentermine the same as Methamphetamine or Amphetamine?
I have discovered that many people can not handle their problems & they calling it being vague. I know that people with addictions are going somewhere so they can escape. Does meditation help to keep a person focused more? What can you tell me about this?
My whole family has mild OCD, with something or another, except with one family member that has a drug addiction, another who is an alcholic, can OCD also pertain to these problems too? Is it an obsession with a substance?
I have heard that alcohol is considered “empty” calories, but I am curious as to what role alcoholic beverages play in weight gain. If you exercise 5-6 days per week and eat right 6 days out of the week (kind of slack off one day per week), will alcohol alone cause weight gain?
Scudder is a detective with the Sheriff’s Department who is forced to shoot a violent suspect during a narcotics raid. The ensuing psychological aftermath of this shooting worsens his drinking problem and this alcoholism causes him to lose his job, as well as his marriage. During his recovery through Alcoholics Anonymous, he meets a mysterious stranger who draws him back into a world of vice. In trying to help this beautiful woman, he must enter a crime-world of prostitution and drugs to solve a murder, while resisting the temptation to return to his alcohol abuse.
my husband keeps relapsing from drug addiction and is currenlty is prison right now. everytime he gets out he seems to be doing good up until he visits with his dad. he is very close to his dad and when i tell him not see him he gets very mad at me. he gets very defensive when anyone tells him to stay away from his dad. he told me even if his probation officer doesn’t want him to see his dad nobody can stop him because that is his dad n he loves him. but his dad has beed a meth addict before my husband was born. so was his real mom n step mom but they both died along time ago. his dad encourges him to keep smoking n even offers him in front of me. do you think i should tell his counselor? he was in the drug court program but got sent back to prison until their is bed space at a rehab center. i’m afraid that once he gets out he will relapse again because his dad claims to be worried about his son going back to prison because he thinks he might die while my husband is in prison because he keeps going in and out of the hospital due to complacations of years of drug abuse but he still keeps trying to offer my husband. i’m also afraid our son will end up like him because my son n husband both are geminis and are alike in so many ways. do you think talking to the courts, his probation officer and counselor about his dad will help?
i live in hawaii n my husband is very sociable. he knows everyone. their is no way for him to avoid other chronics especially his dad. how can i help support him with trying to get clean? i’m so worried about him relapsing or gaining a new addiction. i’ve been married to my husband for only 3 years but we’ve been together for 12 years. he use to be a alcohic when i first met him but when he quit he turned to drugs in 2001. is their anyway of him recovering with so many temptations around us. this last time he relapsed he claims he didn’t feel like doing it but he didn’t know why he did it and he needs help.
LET THE GOOD TIMES ROLL! Rose and his LA Guns bandmate Tracii Guns formed Guns N’ Roses in March 1985. The band was a merger of LA Guns and Hollywood Rose, and featured musicians who had played for one or both groups, including Ole Beich and Duff McKagan. The band debuted at the Troubadour in Hollywood and proceeded to play the LA circuit, eventually building a fan following and attracting the attention of several record companies.[18][19] The lineup eventually solidified with Rose on vocals, Slash on lead guitar, Izzy Stradlin on rhythm guitar, Duff McKagan on bass and Steven Adler on drums. Guns N’ Roses was signed to Geffen Records in 1986 and released a four-song EP, Live ?!*@ Like a Suicide, on their own label, UZI Suicide, in December of that year. The band’s major label debut album, entitled Appetite for Destruction, was released in the United States on July 21, 1987. The record had a slow start, selling only 500000 copies in the first year of its release.[20] However, fueled by relentless touring and the mainstream success of the single “Sweet Child o’ Mine”, Appetite for Destruction rose to the #1 position on the Billboard 200 chart in the United States in the fall of 1988. To date, Appetite for Destruction ranks as the fourth best-selling debut album in the United States, has been certified 15x platinum by the RIAA, and has sold over 27 million copies.[21][22] With the success of Appetite for Destruction and its follow-up EP, GN’R Lies, Rose found himself lauded …
i love can’t get there from here by todd strasser…i also love fever 1793, and just real life, dramatic things. maybe alternative, emo, depression, rocker type kids. i am a lesbian, which makes books with straight relationships out of the question. i have to read a few books for my language class, and i have issues with picking out books since i dont like books with straight relationships or much reference to that at all…it just doesn’t really…idk, but i would LOVE to read Annie on My Mind. i can’t. the school deems it socially unacceptable. :/ its not even graphic or anything…and other kids can read all of the lovey-dovey heterosexual sex stories…yet i can’t even read this. i would for recreation…but i’m so busy reading for school that i don’t have time. annnyyyywaaaayyyyy thanks. books about homeless teens would be cool too. or cutters or alcohol abuse or anything. preferably female main characters. thanks!
PS…they have to be school appropriate but borderline…like it’s okay to have death and mild drug use and stuff…but if it’s about a hardcore meth addict who dies of heroin related aids…probably not so good for school lol
i am sorry u are offended…but that is too much(to the first answerer) im not meaning to sound rude…it just repulses me and i dont want to have to think about it…even with my best friends. so just answer my question and dont complicate things more than they need to be. it’s painful enough for me
it hurts my life a lot that i have to put up with my emotions…when i think about my gf being bi and my best friend being straight i want to cry forever and sometimes i dont want to live anymore. it takes a serious toll on me. i’m sure you wouldnt understand…but please be mature and try not to hurt me. i know i didnt explain myself very well
