The war over alcohol in America
Since Prohibition ended in 1933 with the 21st Amendment to the Constitution – which repealed the 18th Amendment authorizing the ban on alcohol – states, counties and municipalities have see-sawed back and forth over alcohol sales. States are still passing laws on the sale of alcohol on Sundays, and municipalities and counties are still voting on whether to permit local alcohol purchases.

I do know that it takes more than just shying away from the substance that the person is addicted to. I just want to know what specific steps the person will have to take in order for him to be on his way to recovery.

I’ve seen so many Oprah shows and read so many articles about the drug and how it really is taking over the country and in particular young teens. I wonder how this has happened because from all the cases I have heard about, this kids start off doing it at 13 years old.

What does it do to you? Have any of you ever done it and if you have,why? I mean its hard for me to understand, because here in NYC, I dont know ANYBODY who has done crystal meth and I do know quite alot of people. Even my druggie friends dont touch it. Why is it soooooooooo popular now these days, especially in like the Midwest I’ve noticed..
just wondering.
yeah alot of people do the adderal here and alot of cocaine, but in the city teens stick mostly to weed and coke and occasionally herion which i guess is worse, but even the my most addictive friends are somewhat responsible with their usage, so this is shocking.

I have been doing Methadone for three years, now I am trying to get off of it. I am ten days into it. It is the hardest thing anyone could go through. I was wondering if I use oxycontin after withdrawing from methadone for ten days will it start the withdrawals all over again.

I’m 17 and want to join CMA: I’m already seeing the repricutions of my addiction and the addiction of those that i’ve done meth with before and want to stop before i’m a zombie but i can’t do it alone. So heres my question(s):

Do i have to be 18 and over to join CMA?
If i’m under 18, will social services be notified?
Is CMA really ‘Anonymous’?

Please, serious answers only.

I was just wondering if you would be able to do this because the suboxone is easier to come off of than methadone.Thanks.
