Drug Rehabilitation that works

Question by : Is Alcoholics Anonymous a harmful cult or just a harmful waste of time?
It has been proven time and time again to not work as a cure for alcoholism. Then with their if you have one drink one drunk crap they preach people who do slip up on the AA plan tend to binge drink since the program makes people think they cannot stop if they have one drink.

Question by Eraserhead: It’s time for me to clean up my act for New Years- drug addiction?
I’ve been addicted to painkillers for a few years now, and I truly need to stop. I’ve gone cold turkey and the withdrawal symptoms are just terrible, so I end up going back on the drug just so I don’t feel that much pain. I’m addicted to Vicodin by the way.

My question is two fold. One- will I ever feel normal again after stopping? Two- is there a way to get through the withdrawal symptoms, like a way to make the whole ordeal easier?

Help from former addicts is very very much appreciated.

Also, getting professional help to get off isn’t an option. I have to do this alone.
The reason I can’t get help is because the addiction has been my secret. My family is the kind that would disown me if they knew. I also don’t have a car, so I can’t drive to a rehab place without getting a ride and blowing my ‘cover’. I will call Narcotics Anonymous for advice though. That is a great idea

First off, good for you! I think that if you have people surrounding you with support would be good for you. You will feel normal again. I used to pop X on a daily basis (like 5 or more pills sometimes never less than 3) and when I stopped I really don’t know if I had withdrawals. I got depressed and sicker. Just stick it out and do activities to keep your mind off drugs. Good luck.

Question by mscarlybobarlysmom: time for a change? Recovered alcoholic boss after one year is now is disarray.?
worked for a company for 10+ yrs and assistant to the president of the company. After his one year aniversary of soberity, the disarray in business applications is causing my job to become varied in job description. I’m not getting much help or answers. You can’t say anything about it, but it’s not helping #1 for the work environment when 75% of my day is calming those who don’t understand the scattered thoughts from him and the other 25% trying to resolve issues on my own, hoping I’ve made the right choices because I can’t get answers. She disapears and takes many “mental health” days and works after hours so there is no human contact and thoughts can be clearer. Should I stick with it, move on, say something or just keeping on doing what I need to do to keep the business a float on my end? How do I know this???? The wife of a recovered alcoholic (I know everyone has a different experience), but it’s like living with my husband after his first year. I LOVE my job, but need my sanity.

Answer by concise_pear
thats the question you have to ask yourself.
is it worth losing your sanity for a job?
are you being overworked?
It might not be worth it in the end.
ultimately, its something you have to either change or live with, and it sounds as if you need to make that decision soon
All the best

I would suggest talking with your boss and asking for some clear cut directions that would help them be able to keep thing smoothe. Tell them exactly what the problems are WITHOUT blaming them for those problems. Come to a solution together and start the process from there.
