Question by dohcraw: alcoholic?
I am almost 30. I can have an occasional beer and no problems. sometimes,like last night, I go too far and don’t know when to stop and all sorts of bad things can and usually do happen. I have done this much less since college, but even occasionally is too much.
who or what can I turn to for help. Will AA work?
I don’t want to stop drinking but I will if I have to.

Answer by laurel g
I am one of those people who cannot drink. I ‘feel’ the drink really quickly. It sounds as though you should decide this may be your answer, as well. Life is just too important to mess up with alcohol. Try not drinking at all………….if you can do this, you won’t need AA or anyone else.

help for pill addict husband?

Question by sephyrian: help for pill addict husband?
My husband sustained a back injury and as a result is now addicted to narcotic pain meds. Myself and his family have official read him the riot act to late. He lost yet another job. He needs help ( admitted to everyone he has a problem), but he also needs a job. Is there an outpatient type clinic for people who are soon to run out of money? I’m surprised we still have internet, but I’m going to use it till it is gone. Please help or advice.

Psychologically speaking, is alcoholism considered a diseases or a result of a voluntary action?

Question by : Psychologically speaking, is alcoholism considered a diseases or a result of a voluntary action?

The way I see it, genetics may predispose a person to drink as much at it predisposes some people to over eat like myself. Yet I choose to limit my food intake and the same for a person to drink. I feel it’s about responsibility and choice. I don’t understand having a lack of responsibility and the choice of making the wrong decision is considered a full blown disease.

Best answer:

Answer by Kory
It can be both. You can have gene inheritance to alcoholism just like you can to nicotine addiction. If someone up your family tree was a drinker, chances are you could be too. Also, it can be developed by making a habit out of drinking constantly.

why am I so emotionless?

Question by idk: why am I so emotionless?
I’m 17, 10/29/08 my best friend killed himself, and idk why but it didn’t really affect me emotionally at all(I never talked to anyone about it). A couple weeks ago I moved from Michigan to Tennessee to get away from my mom and her dick boyfriend and I don’t even miss any of my friends or family. when i was 13 my stepdad (my dad ditched out on me before i was born and i have no clue who he is(and that doesn’t affect me emotionally either) and my stepdad got with my mom before i was 1 so he was always like my real dad) got addicted to meth and started getting really aggresive,he was constantly yelling at everyone and breaking evertying and he threatened to kill us several times, my mom finally ended up divourcing him and that didn’t affect me either. Not even a year after that my mom ended up getting with some asshole who was constantly being a dick to me just for his entertainment. she then had a kid with him even tho we were already struggleing with money. and none of that affected me either . About 6 months ago I started thinking about killing myself, which really confuses me because compared to alot of people my life is good, and at first i didn’t think anything of it but it was constantly getting worse, about 4 months ago I started cutting and once again I have no clue why, I just randomly get urges to do it and the more i ignore it the worse it gets and the the longer i wait the deeper i end up cutting, so I guess I do have emotions but… well I can’t really feel them. and also I remember almost nothing that happened in my life past age 14 but from what I’ve been told all of my cousins and my sister and step brother were constantly making me miserable. When ever someone ask me to list good qualities about myself i freeze because I can’t think of any. I have a lot of people that i chill with but I don’t have any true friends, i’ve had 3 good friends in my life, 2 turned out to be backstabbing ***holes who were just using me and the other killed himself. I’ve had a few girlfriends but i didn’t love any of them, I’ve actually never loved anyone, not even family, and that really disturbs me. I’ve had one person in my life that actually cared about me and tried to look out for me, my cousin, and he died of a heroin overdose exactly 3 years ago. He was addicted to heroin but he was still a good person and he looked out for me, he tried to make sure that I would never make the same mistakes as him, honestly that’s the only thing stopping me from turning to drugs, i know my cousin would be crushed. last year i spent 2 months in juvie because my mom called the cops and said that i threatened to kill her even though i could never threaten to kill someone, and then told me that i got what i had coming because i did bad in school even tho i tried my hardest i just could never concentrate on anything longer then 2 minutes. I’ve been like that my whole life and when i was going to school it made my life hell because of all the trouble i’d get in at home for failing classes. there were a few years in my life where i was really bad with my mom, constantly flipping out and cussing her out, I finally got it under controll last year but she still constantly throws it in my face and acts like I’m a horrible person even though i hated myself after every fight i got in with her. I’ve had a couple therapist, and I’ve been in an anxiety counselling group and idk why but i could never tell them about wanting to kill myself and cutting, i really couldn’t tell them any of my problems, I always feel like an ***hole when i complain about my life because there are sooo many people out there that have it so much worse then me. Sorry for all of the typing i know that no one wants to real all of that, i just got in sordove a trance when i started typing and couldn’t stop, half of those were suppressed memories i didn’t remember until i started typing, that’s why all of the events i put are in a completely random order

Q&A: I have been clean and sober for 24 hours, yet my wife has the nerve to call me an ” alcoholic”?

Question by : I have been clean and sober for 24 hours, yet my wife has the nerve to call me an ” alcoholic”?
Normally, 7 days a week. I drink atleast a 12 pk of tall boys Keystone light.. And when I say tall boys I don’t mean normal 12 oz beers I’m talking 22 oz (Tall boys). My wife who hardly takes a sip of alcohol, won’t stop raving about how I’m nothing but a drunk these days. How do I get her to stop? I haven’t had a drop in almost 2 days.

Best answer:

Answer by hrt
Because you’re not totally sober yet, but her saying that is no help to you… 24 hours is not long enough to get into a new “routine”

Best answer:

Answer by Absent Glare
I hate crystal meth.

1. I began recovery from LSD “overdose”, started meth a while after
2. I always thought meth was sorta disgusting, I did it for a few weeks, pretty nasty drug, plus I knew a bunch of addicts already, that really helped me quit
3. Maybe 3 or 4 months total, not much really
4. Hell no, I’d rather shove a nail up my d!ck hole
5. At least a year

Nobody should smoke meth, its totally nasty. Everyone i know that still does meth is a total fuckin loser, a complete waste of life at this point. I have more interesting conversations with retarded people than I do with fuckin tweakers.

its not considered to be a disease but an addiction with serious with-drawl effects and it is a well known risk factor for a long list of diseases, mostly related to the liver and heart. Alcohol does more harm than good to your body.
