You need to go to treatment alone and let your kids stay with their dad or grandparents. Why should they have to witness people puking and shaking and pooping on themselves and screaming and freaking out and sweating while going through withdrawal? You already put them through enough.

Then check yourself in and get help and arrange for whoever is caring for them to bring them for family sessions. Because you aren’t being a good parent on drugs so your wanting to parent them continually is a joke. You need to get yourself together away from them so you can be honest about the part of the parenting you are screwing up. And you cannot do that worrying about feeding and bathing and looking after them.

Go get help and let them be kids. And enjoy life away from you for a while. Don’t use them as a crutch not to get help. Kids would rather be away from a druggy parent for a year than be with one for a second. If it means they will soon have some normalcy in their lives.

If you are still hell bent on dragging them through it with you, call your local United Way and ask for drug addiction resources in your area. Then call all the numbers you get and ask your question. Eventually someone will be able to help you.

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?

I truly don’t understand how it is that the dangers of meth, heroin, cocaine, etc. are known world wide, yet each generation sees a new crop of addicts.

Meth destroys your brain, body, and mind… It can make you so delirious that you will fu*k your own mom…

Cocaine has destroyed the lives of millions and millions of people…

Opium/Pain Meds/Heroin causes EVERYONE from homeless crack heads to soccer mom’s to just destroy their own lives and abuse their kids…

We have THOUSANDS of years of Opium Abuse… about 100 years of coke abuse… 50(?) years of amphetamine abuse…

People just dropping dead in the streets from using these substances…

Yet generation after generation, we find a brand new crop of retards to get addicted and ruin their lives and the lives of their families…

Hell… Just look at Alcohol Abuse and Addiction… Husbands beating wives and mothers abusing children… All because they are driven from sanity thanks to a dangerous drug that WE ALL KNOW IS DANGEROUS AND ADDICTIVE yet is in almost every home in America…

How is it that we can know the dangers so thoroughly and yet continue to fall victim to their addiction?

I’ve read several posts here to try to find more information, but haven’t been able to find an answer to this. I’ve read that yeast is central to the alcohol brewing process, but I’ve also read that some alcoholic beverages have processed and filtered it out.

I took an allergy test recently which said that I’m allergic to brewer’s yeast – does this cover all the yeast strains in Japanese Sake for example? Or are there strains I can have?

Thanks!

A new study by the Centers for Disease Control finds that one in five high school students have taken a prescription drug that they didn’t get from a doctor. These include pain pills and attention deficit drugs.

If you reveal to your therapist that you have a drug addiction, can they report it to police ?
