Happy, joyous and free! Or unhappy, sad and imprisoned? Romance and finance… How am I feeling, why and what can I do? No romance presently, still learning to be me, and I’m free. Finance, needs met and not wanting. Happily open to romance and not yearning, no need to fear, no need to put on a brave face. I can learn and endeavour today… Living in the moment, feeling life as it is, rather than willing it different, knowing what we can do, knowing what we cannot, we see our choices and know what changes we can make. Connected to reality, with choices, dreams become possibilities in the moment of now. We share, gain wisdom, change as we may, needs met wants forgotten, and can strive for the achievable just for today… We are all spiritual, everything is spiritual? ~ “It is very important to generate a good attitude, a good heart, as much as possible. From this, happiness in both the short term and the long term for both yourself and others will come. We learn the art of the possible, the probable and reality, the truth of now” inspired by the Dalai Lama… Daily Reflections ~ A LIFETIME PROCESS We were having trouble with personal relationships, we couldn’t control our emotional natures, we were a prey to misery and depression, we couldn’t make a living, we had a feeling of uselessness, we were full of fear, we were unhappy, we couldn’t seem to be of real help to other people. . . .

Forgiving? Seeing my part in situations, it may be simply I was in the wrong place, with the wrong person or people and things went bad. I may be angry and resentful, feel like I need react and state my case. Often we push on when we intuitively know we could change sooner and let go. There is freedom in forgiving ourselves and others… New freedom, new happiness comes as we let go? Yes, letting go our extremes of fear, putting on a brave face and our veneer of ego. Enough fear to keep safe, developing courage to change, faith we have choices, and confidence to be more ourselves for today.. On waking, a thousand fragments merge and noise of needs, musts and wants burst into thinking. I pause, need do now, reflect, choices. I feel better, I can meet some needs, I can do some musts, and the wants? A balance in “being good enough for today” AA Daily Reflections ~ “FREEDOM TO BE ME… If we are painstaking about this phase of our development, we will be amazed before we are half way through. We are going to know a new freedom and a new happiness. ALCOHOLICS ANONYMOUS, p. 83 My first true freedom is the freedom not to have to take a drink today. If I truly want it, I will work the Twelve Steps and the happiness of this freedom will come to me through the Steps — sometimes quickly, sometimes slowly. Other freedoms will follow, and inventorying them is a new happiness. I had a new freedom today, the freedom to be me. I have the freedom to be the best me I have ever been.” “The … Video Rating: 0 / 5

Hi, this is Larry Hobbs @ Fatnews.com. Drug and alcohol problems are the result of biochemical glitches. They are not caused by a lack of will power and cannot be solved with talk therapy. Prescription drugs such as Prozac cannot correct these problems either. I believe the exact same thing is true for anxiety and depression. In this audio clip, you will hear Dr. Julian Whitaker describe the research of Dr. Roger Williams. He found that alcoholic rats could be cured of their desire for alcohol with large doses of nutrients. You will then hear Dr. Whitaker interview Joan Mathews Larson, PhD whose son committed suicide about 30 years ago after returning from talk therapy.

What are causing these cravings? In the late-1950s, Dr. Roger Williams did an experiment with rats. He offered the rats either 100% water or an alcohol/water mixture (50% alcohol, 50% water). He gave them regular Purina Chow. (Regular rat chow.) He found that about 10% of the rats became alcoholic. This is about the same percentage as in humans who are alcoholic. He then reduced the amount of vitamins and minerals given to the rats … Video Rating: 5 / 5
The Dangers of Binge Drinking Anti-alcohol Educational Video. Public domain video and public service announcement courtesy of SAMHSA. US Department of Health & Human Services. Binge Drinking and Youth: What Everyone Needs To Know. Sponsor: CSAT. Host: Ivette Torres, Associate Director for Consumer Affairs, Center for Substance Abuse Treatment (CSAT), Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). Invited Panelists: Steve Wing, Associate Administrator for Alcohol Policy, Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (HHS); Ralph Hingson, National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA), National Institutes of Health (HHS); Hope Taft (First Lady of Ohio), Leadership to Keep Children Alcohol Free; Clarke Brown, Youth Services Division, Hazelden Treatment and Rehabilitation Centers. Results from the 2003 National Survey on Drug Use and Health show that 25 percent of Americans aged 17 had reported binge drinking (ie, five or more drinks on the same occasion). By age 21, the percentage of binge drinkers had increased to 48 percent. College is clearly a catalyst for alcohol use; in fact, young adults aged 18 to 22 who don’t attend college drink less than those who do attend. Many binge drinkers in college begin experimenting with alcohol in high school. Students may not want to think about it, but young people can become alcohol dependent and many will die from excessive alcohol … Video Rating: 4 / 5
