So, How do you Treat Addiction?

I have often mentioned on here what the difference between an alcohol addiction and a person who has an alcohol problem was. A person with a alcohol problem is basically drinking because they want to. A person with an Alcohol Addiction, is now drinking because they have to.

Thriving Work Anxiety and Mental Collapse

Thus mental illness and thriving anxiety could lead to addiction and its related issues. Co-Occurring Disorders are the ones if patients suffer from both mental illness and substance addiction.

Nicotine as a Nootropic, and Ways to Get it Without Smoking

Nicotine gets a bad rap because it's associated with smoking and addiction. But if you take it safely and in the right way, its benefits might surprise you. There’s a lot more to nicotine than smoking and addiction.

Brother finally lost the battle

My brother finally lost the battle to his addiction and this terrible disease in the early hours this morning. I take comfort in knowing he is no longer hurting. I knew it was coming but this is devastating.

Opioid use for rls

I wonder if anyone has experience or knowledge about the use of a variety of opioids for rls in the short run, I.e. using a different one each time to avoid addiction or dependency. Over a week I might use Tramadol twice, OxyContin once or twice and the same with Hydromorphone.

5 years since my dad passed

He struggled with alcohol addiction and couldn’t beat his addiction or he’d still be here today. Oh how I wish he could know my son, his first grandchild who just turned 2! Love you dad and miss you. Photo of him and I on my wedding 8-25-12.

are there any 12-step style meet ups for ADHD?

12-step meetings are a lifelong process for people who have a disease of some sort of addiction. For people to tell stories and gain structure in their life. They get their temptations and struggles off their chest. They have a process for recovery that is never ending.
