Question by LFA911: 17 year old who thinks he can get clean with drug addict friends?
My boyfriend has recently had problems with marijuana. He was expelled from the same school twice for it. He has decided he wants to get clean and move forward. But I have problems with his friends because he does not have a single friend who is not on some kind of drug. All of them are on drugs. I told him that i do not want to be apart of any kind of drug use. He thinks that he can stay clean and still hang out with all of his friends who are on drugs. I know that in order to be healthy as a person you have to surround yourself around people who are also healthy and can influence him in a positive way. He says he cant just dropped his friends. How do i show him they are not good for him?

Answer by Kim
I was a serious user for two years. The thing that stopped me was finding out I was pregnant. Wanting to be the best mother kept me clean. But I won’t lie, I hang out around people who DO NOT use because when I am around people that do I do want to use. He needs to be true to himself, and re consider his friends. It is not worth the risk of relapsing and getting in trouble even if he is not currently using.

time for a change? Recovered alcoholic boss after one year is now is disarray.?

ALCOHOLISM ADDICTION Comments Off

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.

i’ve been clean for 5 months now and i see him every 2 weeks. I want to be honest with him when he’s older, will he hate me for it?

Answer by yung chelz
He shouldn’t hate you for it, if you’re honest and have been there for him. Just make a really good relationship with him, and when you tell him make sure he knows it’s bad..

Where does it say “specifically” that an applicant must provide “proof of rehabilitation” once a 3 year ban for drug use is up? I would like to find this law and/or requirement.

I used to smoke methamphetamine for about a year. What about brain damage?

DRUG ADDICTION REHAB 6 Comments »

I know doctors say it eats holes in your brain. I’ve noticed that I have horrible short term memory, but of course I can’t be sure that’s what it’s from. So what kind of doctors should I go to see about checking out my brain? Would I have to go get like an MRI? Where the hell do I start with all of this. BTW, it’s been about 2 years since I smoked and I haven’t been to the doctor since about anything related to the drugs.

can a 23 year old get cirrhosis of the liver if they have fatty liver disease and drink alcohol?

ALCOHOLISM ADDICTION 3 Comments »

I was diagnosed with a fatty liver as a result of a blood test a few years back and was prescribed Deforming and Lovaza what are these medicines used for? from that day on I have been taking only Lovaza and I refused to take Metformin since it says on the bottle “DO NOT DRINK ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES WHILE TAKING THIS MEDICATION” since I like to drink I ditched the Metformin and drank instead now my Triglycereds are 939 and I am not exactly sure if I still have fatty liver but I have been drinking these two years ever since that test. before I had fatty liver I used to eat greasy foods and junk food I would eat a bunch of Mayonniase with every meal but I didn’t really drink that much so I was thinking that my fatty liver was due to my food choices not the drinking.
I know I wont be able to give up drinking completely since I like the taste of alcohol plus my grandfather drinks alot of beer and vodka and he is 74 years old and he has been drinking for a very long time and has no health problems and also my birthday is in 9 more days and I know I wont be able to handle a birthday party without celebrating which includes drinking
I’m sorry I made a mistake I was prescribed Metformin not deforming
yes I am on supplements I take them about 2 times a day are they helping?
yes I am kind of overweight I weight about 254 pounds but this was a while ago I think I lost some weight but I am not exactly sure how much I weight now since I don’t weigh myself except when I go to the doctor and now I have decreased my drinking I only drink friday through sunday and during the week I might have 1 or 2 beers but nothing else am I improving my drinking habits?
I am taking supplements not drugs
and they are not prescribed my grandfather ordered them from me from a store
