who uses the drug mostly(teens?) and which body system does it affect

Although I have not drank any alcohol in 4.8 years, the atrophy of cirrhosis scar tissue has stooped all blood flow through the left lobe of my liver and is now very small in size after initially being enlarged. Does it need to be removed. I also have chronic pancreatitus (16 acute attacks over last 4 years) and my gallbladder was also removed. I am not diabetic. I need advice. I have a liver biopsy scheduled in 3 weeks.

Ever since I started smoking it, I can’t eat anything without getting the sh*ts
I already had the sex addiction, no joke.. There have been days when I had sex with one girl in the afternoon, then another at night, then I still masterbate a couple times in between and after all of that. I was jk about the parent category though. I’m not a parent.

my girlfriend was convicted for possession of meth 7 years ago. she did some time in prison and finished a 2 year treatment program for substance abuse. she has been clean and sober now over 6 years and currently works as a residential technician at a treatment facility. she very much wants to go back to school and become a certified counselor specializing in addiction issues. she has turned her life completely around and wants to invest all of her time and knowledge into helping other addicts find recovery. what are the steps she should take to become a drug and alcohol counselor? is there a specific course outline to become one?
thanks in advance.

there is no need for negative comments concerning her past. i just want to be able to help her get into school to pursue what she calls her ‘mission in life’ to help other addicts.
