www.pennstatehershey.org “Classification of alcohol abuse by plasma protein biomarkers”: Penn State Hershey researchers, working for two-and-a-half years in cooperation with Kathleen A. Grant, Ph.D., at the Oregon National Primate Research Center, identified a set of 17 proteins in the blood that accurately predicted alcohol usage 90 percent of the time in non-human primates. Researchers were able to separate usage into three catergories: no alcohol use, drinking up to two drinks per day, and drinking at least six drinks per day. Protein levels rose and declined depending on alcohol consumption. Video Rating: 5 / 5
Question by queenmeow16: I don’t know how to get through to my drug addicted husband?
When my husband was a child he grew up in a home filled with drugs. All kinds. His mother’s and step father’s drug of choice was speed/meth. His step father was abusive to my husband until the step father was caught hurting my husband ( who was o became only 13) and the step father was arrested. He used to find his mother’s drugs and pipes and flush them or break them, but eventually he became curious and tried himself. He became addicted. He was taken away from his mother at 15 and placed with his aunt. He became clean. We have been going out for years as teens. When we hit 20 we married. We had one baby girl and at that point he got a job that was graveyard shift. He fell back into drugs. He said it was due to stress and feeling that he needed to be able to stay up to work. I am a person who has lived a somewhat sheltered life, never done any drugs or drank or even had a cigarette so i didn’t see the subtle clues he was using again. I never thought he’d go back. When I did realize what was happening i left him and said he had to chose what life he wanted. Drugs or our family in one home. He quit. We moved away from his mom who still uses. I later had another baby, this time a boy. Soon after I caught him red handed using. This time i said he has to do more than promise me it wouldn’t happen again. I asked him to do out patient rehab and marriage counseling. As part of the rehab he cannot drink or do any drugs. He has slipped and drank 3 nights in less than 2 weeks. The meeting scheduled today he told me he was leaving to there but he went to his moms instead. I called his council er and found out he skipped class he admitted he went to his moms but swears he didn’t do anything but hang out. I don’t know what to do. I love him, he seems to want to stop, but weak willed, hes the father of my children. i asked him to leave for the night but what do i do next?

Answer by scoutma53 I’m sorry, I don’t see any way out of this except that you leave him. You can’t have the children exposed to this day in day out. It will be hard but better in the long run. His own family is obviously no help at all.

Question by saifali_1993: What is it like to go through cold turkey for drug addiction?
I would like detail in relation to the mental and physical pain that people go through. And personal experiences to do with thoughts and feelings at the time. The way you moved, walked, talked, as much detail as possible. What made you take this drastic decision? did it work? How did it feel?
Im supposed to play a drug addict putting himself through cold turkey for an Drama exam monologue. PLEASE help!

Answer by simm101 It’s somewhere you don’t want go, so don’t play that game.
You’re going to be cold even though you’re sweating, you will shake involuntary while your body becomes wracked with cramp. You wont be able to stop vomiting and you will be turning yellow as the hepatitis sets in. The knot in your stomach will be twisting so tight that you want to cry, but that wont stop the pain and if that isn’t enough I can go on, but like I say don’t go there.
Okay, first I have a question that needs answered. If my friend were to unsuccesfuly try to commit suicide under the influence of drugs, would they know? And would they send him to rehab or would that be his choice? Also, what are some other choices besides rehabilitation centers to help get over a drug addiction? If you have any additional information, it would be very much appreciated. Thankyou
I know what it feels like but I don;t understand what your body has to physically do to get back to normal. I have been on methadone 4 yrs, tapered down to 10mg a day and am fixing to quit. I know it will be hell. Don’t really want to do the subutex route if I can avoid it.
