Question by Anissa Jones: Should I return to work yet after being on disability for alcoholism and bipolar?
I just completed an outpatient alcohol rehab program that lasted four weeks. I’ve been sober now for about 33 days. Prior to going out on disability for this, I was messing up at work constantly, and it wasn’t entirely due to alcoholism. I never drank on the job or before work. Since I’ve been out on disability, I got written up & am in danger of getting fired. I have bipolar, depression & anxiety really bad and takes meds for these conditions. I have now cross transferred my alcohol addiction to being addicted to a male friend I met in rehab. I think of him 24/7 and can’t function. I’m 46 years old, btw. He only wants to be friends w/me, but he gave me so much attention that I’ve been yearning from a man since I was a teen. Should I discontinue contact w/him & go out on mental disability for a few more weeks? My job is very stressful for anyone really. Thx.

Question by firequeenp: has anyone ever dated an alcoholic and drug addict (recovered), when u have a few drinks & it work out?
i have been talking to this guy and just found out that he is a recovered drug addict/alcoholic. he has been sober for 7 years. he is a great guy and we have alot in common, but i have no experience with someone like this.
i myself, am not a huge drinker, but i do like to have a few drinks when i am out or at a concert or something. also i smoke pot, socially. i would have no problem not doing that around him, but i just wonder if it is even worth it to see where this goes. does a relationship like this have a future?
i don’t want to get my or his hopes up and continue this on if we’re not compatible in the long term because he is sober and i like to have the occasional drink/joint.
like i said i have never dated anyone with any substance abuse problems before, so it just makes me a little nervous. i have dated potheads that don’t drink and drinkers that don’t smoke, but never someone who doesn’t do both, and for that reason (addiction). advice, thoughts, experiences please

Answer by kandi8366 Wont work, my boyfriend is a recovering alcoholic, and when we started dating I knew that I wouldn’t drink again. I never liked drinking but occasionally I did drink. But since I love him and want to be with him and want him healthy and alcohol free I would never drink. Its the only way a relationship like that would work.
AA Daily Reflections ~ “WALKING THROUGH FEAR… If we still cling to something we will not let go, we ask God to help us be willing. ALCOHOLICS ANONYMOUS, p. 76 When I had taken my Fifth Step, I became aware that all my defects of character stemmed from my need to feel secure and loved. To use my will alone to work on them would have been trying obsessively to solve the problem. In the Sixth Step I intensified the action I had taken in the first three Steps — meditating on the Step by saying it over and over, going to meetings, following my sponsor’s suggestions, reading and searching within myself. During the first three years of sobriety I had a fear of entering an elevator alone. One day I decided I must walk through this fear. I asked for God’s help, entered the elevator, and there in the corner was a lady crying. She said that since her husband had died she was deathly afraid of elevators. I forgot my fear and comforted her. This spiritual experience helped me to see how willingness was the key to working the rest of the Twelve Steps to recovery. God helps those who help themselves.” Walking through fear… as we come to understand in sharing how we were back then, step five opens the door to self awareness, willingness and self honesty. What drove us mad back in the day. Now, less fear, less ego, more faith and courage to live truth, love and be loved back, and learn wisdom from others as life affords today… Romance and finance! Back then behind closed doors, love …
Question by Ms. Reaves: I need to know about requirements to work in a drug rehab center?
Because of a friend’s drug addiction, I have recently decided to have a career in a drug rehabilitation.
I’ve wanted to be an RN for a while, but I’m sure there are other requirements to work with patients in drug rehab centers.
I don’t really need to know the actions of the people and what I’ll be dealing with so much as what the REQUIREMENTS are.
If you know of any links or have any advice, please let me know.

Answer by pay it forward My local library has a Vocational Guidance book. It has about 3 or 4 pages on each job. So find a good librarian & get this info. If you are in a school go to a counselor & set up a meeting with one. Call colledges cause you might have to go to a specific one to find the right course. I would also ask treatment centers if they have anyone there who could speak to you & have your questions ready for an interview or take them to lunch & you pay or if a phone interview you would want to send them a thank you. Many addiction couselors are former addicts so remember to interview different people. Some has a family member. I am not a counselor but I have a son who died at age 20, 9 years ago. So be prepared for some real emotional stuff. Thank you friend for putting you on this path. He or She needs to feel they are of some value so it all helps.
Question by DH: Do rich people believe if the billions of working poor would just work harder they wouldn’t be poor anymore?
Two ways to help humanity
1)Increase productivity, college, health care, mental help, addiction treatment, small business grants, etc, etc. This takes a very long time.
2)Decrease costs, fuel, water, housing, inflation, taxes, energy, food, transportation, etc, etc.
So, what can be reduced in costs right now. Well, inflation is man made so that would have the biggest impact.
And fuel and manufacturing costs can be reduced by already existing technology.
So what is easier, giving billions of people thousands cash to study real hard with or without diseases, and little family support or stepping on the toes of rich companies by free market?
My conclusion is we neglect the working poor, by spending our energy on homeless shelters, rehab, section8, etc, instead of the source which everyone has already surrendered to figuring out. Charity & nonprofits always set the bar of success at 1 person, how about everybody?
To ‘buy into mainstream culture’ is communistic. ic to not use the answers we already have to solve suffering of billions.
So we need a cutthroat person to fight for free market opportunities to help poor by providing lower costs and job opportunities at the same time.
