Drug Rehabilitation that works

It will be my first time to see him… i got ultram in the mental hospital i was diagnosed bi polar and i’ve had headaches since i was nine… i’ve done it all to try and cure them so please no posts about diet, msgs, meditation.. etc.

I am doing a project on the indulgences of man and i would like to know the history of drug abuse especially crystal meth. who invented it? Is it a haluciangenic, amphetamine or an opiate. I do know that it has been called the “anger drug” and that users often mutilate themselves or others around them. Is it true that the Hells angels discoverd it? Please help as I only have one week left before the project is due.

Okay, I know what you are all going to say… “break up with him!” But I really want an alternate route of action…. So, My boyfriend and I have been dating for about 1 year. When we first got together he had 2 part time jobs that he had been at for about a year prior. He also had a slight drug abuse problem that I wasn’t fully aware of. I was also addicted to drugs in the past (over 5 years ago) so I understand the issues and work that goes along with getting clean, so we started working on it.

One job did lay offs about 4 months into our relationship and he was one of the few to get the boot(he had already started getting off drugs and was doing everything to the best of his power so I let it go)

So now we are down to 1 part time job… that he ended up loosing as well about 2 1/2 months ago.

The problem: We live together and I pay ALL the bills!
AND, Did I mention I have two 4 year old children??

I love my boyfriend sooo much, and my kids love him even more…They adore him. He is great with them and they would rather play with him over me most of the time. He helps me get through all the stressful mommy moments and is helping me teach my kids disipline(they were outa control before him)

Today he is clean, but unemployed, and living off me. The only hope I have left of getting any financial help out of him is the unemployment check that is due to arrive shortly (it took him 2 months to even apply!)

On top of all this, he has drug classes is is supposed to be completing. He wont fuc*n** go! I know I am constantly asking him to do things (like help me get the kids ready for school, we just moved, etc) because I am beyond stressed out, but he should still be able to find time to do it. he is already on strike 2 and the judge told him he needs to be attending meetings before his next court date(last one was 2 weeks ago). He still hasn’t attended one!

When he first got laid off he put in a few apps but never followed up. Now he takes 2-3 naps a day while I’m at work and my house is a mess (its both of our mess but im at work all day and he’s home sleeping).

we are BROKE, and im stressing on how im gonna feed my family at this point. Im turning into a ***** too. constantly nagging and I hate it. Im even counting beers. Im sad to admit but today I counted corndogs that I bought 2 days ago and he has already eaten 10! along with other stuff…..

I dont want to break up with him, or I wouldn’t have posted this.
What I’m looking for are any ideas on how to help him motivate and become a productive MAN.

He was on meth for 7 years, we used to use together.I know he’s a good person, but he hasn’t lived in the real world for a long time. How do you rehabilitate someone into reality? Make them pride themselves and want to succeed. He’s not the smartest cookie and is having trouble getting emloyed because of his criminal background. I am trying to be patient and I want to help guide him.

Any Ideas?? Please Help me!!!

The author of two previous non-fiction books (The Unmaking of Americans and Our Oldest Enemy), John J. Miller has worked for The New Republic and National Review (he has also contributed to Reason). Now he has published a novel, The First Assassin, which bestselling author Vince Flynn has said is “like Day of the Jackal set in 1861 Washington.” Rich in historical detail, the story takes place as “a new president takes office, a nation begins to break apart—and Colonel Charles Rook must risk insubordination to stop a mysterious assassin who prowls a nervous city. He will need the help of an ally he does not even know he has: Portia, a beautiful slave who holds a vital clue, hundreds of miles away.” Reason.tv’s Nick Gillespie recently sat down with Miller to talk about contemporary politics, his novel, and his decision to publish the book via Amazon’s CreateSpace program, which represents a new step in self-publishing.

[edit] Operation Black Widow Federal law enforcement agencies, long unable to infiltrate Nuestra Familia, began to step up their investigations in the late 1990s. In 2000 and 2001, 22 members were indicted on racketeering charges, including several who were allegedly serving as high-ranking gang leaders while confined in Pelican Bay.[8] Thirteen of the defendants plead guilty; the other cases are still ongoing. Two of the defendants face the death penalty for ordering murders related to the drug trade. The largest of the federal investigations was Operation Black Widow.[8] At the time of Operation Black Widow, law enforcement officials had estimated that Nuestra Familia was responsible for at least 600 murders in the previous 30 years.[12] [edit] Renewed Organization In the aftermath of Operation Black Widow, the five highest ranking leaders of Nuestra Familia were transferred to a federal supermaximum prison in Florence, Colorado.[13] The written constitution of the Norteños stated that the leadership of the gang reside in Pelican Bay State Prison in California; the relocation of the gang’s leaders led to the confusion of its soldiers and a power struggle of prospective generals.[13] Three new generals came to power at Pelican Bay, yet two were demoted, leaving only David “DC” Cervantes as the highest ranking member of the gang in California.[13] Cervantes’ rise marked the first time in decades that the Norteños had a single leader at the helm of their criminal …

Both of my parents were Alcoholics near the time they made me, though my mom quit drinking for the nine months she was carrying me, and my grandparents on both sides where Alcoholics as well. So I’m curious if I started drinking are my chances fairly high that I could begin to lose control over it and become an Alcoholic?

Thanks.
