    Best Way to Quit Smoking - There is Only One Way to Free Yourself From Addiction
    2008-07-07 21:02:13
    There is only one real way to quit smoking. Your doctor, the government and many others will try to convince you otherwise but they are wrong. Find out more in this article. Cigarette smoking is the biggest global health problem with approximately one third of adults hooked, as well as many children too. It costs the average smoker about 15 years of his life compared to a non-smoker. What way out of this is there? What is the best way to quit smoking? Traditional Methods Traditional methods to quit smoking number many, after all - this is a multi-billion dollar industry we are talking about. It only makes sense for big business and the government to work together to keep pushing these worthless cures to people so that they keep flipping back and forth between quit cigarettes on the one hand and smoking aids like nicotine patches, on the other. Nicotine products do not work because they only substitute cigarettes and you are still addicted. You can try to cut down on nicotine products a

    Internet Addiction is a Clinical Disorder; A Cry for Help

    Beat that nail biting addiction, grow long nails
    2008-06-12 22:05:00
    I have never had the best nails; always a biter and when I finally stop the biting, they end up tearing. :(Well, I finally figured out a way to stop that and it's really a few very simple things you can do.1. Keep reminding yourself NOT to bite them- and no I'm not being sarcastic. (Otherwise invest a few bucks in one of those nail coats which you apply to the nail. Everytime you stick that nail near your mouth you'll be reminded right away not to, by the bitter god awful taste. Just be carefull when eating with your hands. Ugh.. I had to learn the hard way multiple times).2. Check out pictures and other things to do with nails/nail trends. The more beautiful polished nails I saw the more I wanted the look. That's what gave me the "will power" to kick my nasty nail biting "addiction."3. Keep your nails painted and groomed. The day I decided enough was enough I bought a nail buffer, and gave myself a mani. I buffed, filed and painted my nails with a clear, shiny coat. They looked better

    Shopping Addiction Leads to a Financial Whirlpool
    2008-05-27 06:33:13
    Shopping is something most people love. But often the thrill, excitement, and absorption becomes such that an ordinary hobby or time filler becomes an addiction. A shopping addiction like drugs, alcohol, or gambling is a blinding thirst where the shopper is unable to see essential from non essential and over spend. They shop until they drop and run into debt spending on their credit cards up to and over its limit.Shopping for many is escapism from the realities of life and its accompanying problems. It is but a temporary reprieve from depression, anxiety, or loneliness. What a shopper never understands is it is a false world which will not grant happiness or love, or self esteem. After the shopping binge the person will experience remorse. The unhappiness will intensify due to unmanageable financial disaster and debt. This will be further compounded by the displeasure earned from family members or financial consultants. Believe me over 80% of the purchases will never be used. An addict

    News From Climbing.com : Crack Addiction — Fissures of the West, from seams to bomb-bays
    2008-05-17 05:11:56
    In North America, crack climbing means selfsufficiency: gauging size, assessing your rack, and slamming in gear as needed. It also means favoring technique over power, or rather, learning to harness your inner brute to cup and jam, ring-lock and foot torque, armbar, chimney, and chickenwing — because go-for-broke laybacking and praying for face holds often aren’t “technique” enough.

    Going Through an Addiction Treatment
    2008-05-14 11:21:00
    Compulsive cravings, seeking and attempting to use substances, specifically drugs just to obtain the euphoric feeling that helps to break away from the harsh reality of the world - this is what a person addicted or hooked on drugs feel. He has the push for drug ingestion, no matter where he is, no matter what time of the day it may be. He is having a brain disease, he is experiencing addiction. A disease that is unceasing which requires him to undergo addiction treatment. In scientific point of view, addiction may be defined as a compulsion of an individual to repeat certain kind of behavior regardless of its consequences and dangers to his health, mental state or even social life. It develops into a form of an illness of the brain within a span of time of usage. However to put it in a much simpler way, in layman's term, addiction is synonymous to devotion, dedication or even attachment to something. Oftentimes, addiction stemmed from a voluntary act which in the long run becomes unco

    I know Starbucks has been around for awhile, but I never really thought about sitting and having a cup of coffee. I always thought, what is the big deal people, its just coffee. That was until I actually had one.At work, we have "coffee carts" brought in and they make all kinds of "special" coffee flavors, and I enjoy it when they come. It's like a special treat every once in a while. Now I discovered that Starbucks has those "coffees" everyday. Holy cow, what planet have I been living on. For all those people I thought were nuts for spending money on a cup of coffee, I apologize!

    Sex Addiction and Crystal Meth Addiction
    2008-05-01 05:43:22
    Sex addiction and crystal meth addcition, what a combination. If there were ever two partners in crime they win the prize. It has been well documented that crystal meth addiction leads to high risk behavior, especially involving sex. The heightened sexual experience that comes along with crystal meth creates an avenue for a path of destruction. The problem is that crystal meth use almsot immediately becomes crystal meth addiction leading to poorer choices disregarding any consequences. Many people in the grips of sex addiction will turn to drugs to help manage the feelings surrounding their sex addiction. Whether the sex addiction takes on the actions of pornography, multiple partners or masturbation, sex addiction is a progressive compulsive behavior resulting in negative consequences. So when you combine the consequences of sex addiction with those of a crystal meth addiction and you have complete emotional and physical devestation.

    An Addict without his Addiction
    2008-04-15 14:30:00
    Why have I not updated this week? I am in mourning right now….mourning over my Playstation 3 that is ill right now and about to be sent off to the Sony doctor. Sounds petty I know, but it is more than my gaming system- it is my entertainment center; my downstairs internet access point; my Blu-Ray player; and source for communication with about half my friends. They say it is going to take ten to fourteen business days for me to get it back once they receive it and it is going to take about ten to fourteen business days for me to get the box for me to send it to them, so I am looking at about twenty-eight business days of no Playstations 3. Remember, a business day does not include weekends and holidays, so we are really looking at around 33 days I am about to be in Siberia. I live in Florida and have no clothing suitable for Siberia.

    Being Gay and My Valium Addiction
    2008-04-14 21:15:24
    I had spent so many years being gay and denying it my life was just becoming unmanageable. The stress was unbearable and I just felt so anxious all the time. Then I was introduced to valium, which an hour after I took it I felt so much more relaxed. So I figured if I valium made me feel this good then two valium should make me feel better. Hence, the beginning of my valium addiction. It wasn’t long in the early stages of my valium addiction that I began mixing other drugs into the picture, but only to enhance an already susbstantial valium addiction. Valium Addiction Treatment My valium addiction got me to the point where I couldn’t even function. Forgt about my “gay issues”, I was a mess. My friend finally got me some valium addiction treatment in a residential treatment center. This addiction treatment for valium addiction was rough.

    Internet Addiction Anonymous
    2008-04-12 10:11:10
    It is well known that there are many on-line users who are seriously addicted to the Internet. This addiction develops slowly, much in the same way as drugs or alcohol. It is easy to miss the point when one stops controlling his or her actions and addiction takes over. I know being one of those who missed the point a long time ago. Today I am trying to analyze how this happened and what the reasons were that brought me into this hopeless condition.At first, I would occasionally use the Internet just for fun-to read anecdotes or chat on ICQ. However even in that innocent time, there were some early warning signs such as developing the habit of eating in front of the computer and even destroying my first keyboard by spilling coffee on it.As time passed, I established some friendly and even romantic relationships with other online users and began to check my e-mail not only in the morning, but in the afternoon, evening, and even at night on the way back from the bathroom.If I only knew ho

    Addiction Program Exceeds Expectations
    2008-04-11 06:19:00
    How many times have you spoken to an addiction program only to hear the same old thing regarding the services they provide. Every addiction program seems to provide the same therapy to the general population. The addiction program talks of gret success rates and an addiction program staff that is great. It was not until I stumbled across this gay friendly addiction program that rekindled my expectations of a quality addiction program. while this addiction program provides similar addiction services as other addiction programs, the addiction program specializes in the treatment of one population and does it well. The addiction program called Freedom Rings treats the gay and lesbian population in a gay affirming atmosphere while incorporating the heterosexual community into the mix. If you are a member of the LGBT or gay and lesbian community, look into this addiction program. I think you will be pleasantly surprised to find an addiction program that delivers what it promises.  Bookmar

    My Heroin Addiction Recovery

    After growing up in Baltimore, Maryland and spending some time in downtown Baltimore, I realized there was more to life than living in the Maryland ssuburbs. I started off snorting cocaine with friends and then one day I met someone downtown who introduced me to heroin. Heroin was great and so was cocaine, so I used them both together for a while (8ball) Well before long I had a cocaine addiction and heroin addiction and was in trouble. My heroin addiction led me to spending more time in Baltimore city as that is where the heroin was. Then one day, I was arrested for selling heroin and was put in jail. While in the Baltimore jail my heroin addiction was kicking my butt. I was so sick, I swore if I ever got out I would never use again.

    Addiction doesn't make a person useless

    Having an addiction doesn't at all mean that a person is useless but somewhat irresponsible in a way that there is no self-control. It takes a will-power and adamant attitude to be able to take control of the things we do; not to let ourselves get out of hand especially when we have children to worry about.

    Holistic Addiction Treatment Program for the LGBT
    2008-04-03 07:16:21
    After being in several addiction treatment programs, meeting with relase each time, I finially decided to try a holistic addiction treatment program, which was gay friendly.

The holistic addiction treatment program was easier. Finially, when I was about to give up I found a holistic addiction treatment program, with an addiction treatment compoent called Freedom Rings.

    Tackle shop addiction
    2008-03-29 06:15:47
    Today was my once monthly tackle shop expedition and I am ashamed to say I visited 5 tackle shops and spent far too much money. Luckily my wife is a fairly keen angler and is supportive of my fishing habit (or should I say addiction). We trolled through the shops looking at all the latest and greatest bits and pieces. I found a rail mount snap lock rod holder which is Aussie made and designed. It locks the rod into place while still allowing for quick release when the fish takes the line. Like always I spent heaps of time looking at the new range of lures including the new Berkley Gulp colors and sizes that I just had to have.Do you have a tackle shop addiction? I would love to hear your stories - please leave a comment.

    My Prescription Drug Addiction
    2008-03-08 08:21:27
    My prescription drug addiction almost killed me and I swore to the end it really wasn’t a prescription drug addiction, but I was only taking the prescription medication the doctor prescribed. The one thing I left out is that I was seeing more than one doctor and taking over four times the amount that was prescribed. Loritab Drug Addiction I hurt my back one day and went to see a doctor who prescribed soma which then became loritab for the pain I claimed was there. Now let’s be clear, my back did hurt, but not that bad and certainly not bad enough for loritab. I loved the feeling loritab gave me and I had heard about drug addiction and prescription drug addiction but I thought I could control the loritab. Well I was wrong, it wasn’t wrong before my addiction to loritab skyrocketed and I had a prescription drug addiction. Regardless, I claimed my loritab  addiction was a result of the medication my doctor gave me and I was just taking a little too much.  Prescripti

    mac makeup - love or addiction?
    2008-02-15 16:04:00
    It's amazing to see how many girls are so loyal to MAC's makeup line, to the point of being a bit fanatical. I have, in fact, more than one friend that swears by MAC and that wouldn't care if all the other makeup lines disappeared from the face of the earth first thing tomorrow morning.Add to that all of MAC-only makeup blogs on the Internet, and it becomes harder and harder to ignore people's love for MAC. I can be very passionate about certain products as well, so I can almost understand this "excessive" love for Mac.I've used MAC products on occasion, but I guess I've never gotten "hooked".But after reading so many beauty blogs and speaking to a friend of mine that owns about 20 different MAC eye shadows because she "loves them!", I decided to buy my new eye shadow from MAC (instead of getting my usual from Urban Decay). After using it for about a month I was not happy with the results. Maybe because of the fact that I don't wear an eye shadow base, this MAC eye shadow never makes i

    Gay Nightclub Scene and Drug Addiction Recovery
    2008-02-09 19:56:54
    The gay nightclub scene in Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Orlando and Tampa, Florida continues to thrive. Maybe it is due to so many gay and lesbian men and women moving south from New York City, NY, Boston, Mass. or Chicago, Illinois. Whatever the case the gay “club scene” continues to grow. Along with the gay club scene growing, the gay drug addiction problem is increasing. The good news is there are now drug addiction recovery programs, sensitive to the needs fo the LGBT. Unfortunately, many of the LGBT have built their entire social network around the “gay club scene”, which often times leads to relapse, not to mention STD’s, HIV and HEP C. Recovery from drug addiction is not easy. As much as everyone like to think you just go to drug addiction treatment and everything will be fine, well it just isn’t that easy. All my friends, even the one’s that don’t use drugs, socialize in gay bars. You are now going to tell me that I can’t

    Drug Addiction Treatment Rehab and My Family
    2008-02-04 07:30:23
    Unless you are gay like me, you can not understand the fear associated with telling your heterosexual parents. All they ever spoke about was the day I would get married and give them grandchildren. Every tme I heard that I hit the crystal meth pipe and mellowed with alcohol. This went on for years until I realized and so did my parents that I had developed a crystal meth addiction and alcohol addiction, but that was not what I was concerned about.  I went to drug addiction treatment willingly and my parents were relieved I went to the treatment rehab. The staff at the drug addiction rehab were great and provided me with the best of drug addiction treatment, but then it hit me. This drug addiction treatment rehab had a family treatment rehab program and that was next. Well, you should have seen my family’s faces. While they were in shock, I was relieved. The addiction treatment rehab staff were great in working with my parents. By the time I left treatment rehab, we agreed that i

    Celebrity Rehab Not a Good Representation of Drug Addiction Rehab
    2008-01-29 17:44:06
    I have watched Celebrity Rehab and I have to tell you that it is like a citcom. The fact that these people in Celebrity Rehab downplays the real importance of a drug addiction rehab. It is as if drug addiction rehab is not important as the major of element is automatically breached, as well as, it looks like the celebrities on Celebrity Rehab are acting.  I saw one actor on a talk show recently and he tried to describe celebrities as different, especially regarding their access to drugs and less than desireable people. It show just how little they or he is getting out of drug addiction rehab. Their access to drugs is no greater than a physician or pharmacist and the illicit individuals they speak of are no worse than a heroin addict meets on the street every day. In my opinion, Celebrity Rehab can and should do a much better job or portraying drug addiction rehab. Since when can patients miss group to run out to an outside activity. This is why so many celebrities relapse or run into

    Addiction Recovery in the Gay Community
    2008-01-25 14:37:05
    For quite some time drug addiction recovery in the gay community suffered due to lack of drug addiction services which is ironic because the incidence of drug addiciton in our community is so high. Whether it is due to issues with our sexual orientation or the bar scene we frequent, drug addiction is higher in our community than the heterosexual community. Today, drug addiction recovery is much higher than it used to be. This is due to an increase in addiction recovery program services across the country that are geared to meet our needs. Addiction recovery programs have integrated sexual orientation groups, as well as, groups focused on homophobia, internalized homophobia and more. After completing the addiction recovery programs, we now have support groups which give us the choice of where to go to bolster our addiction recovery. It is great.  I have met a ton of new friends all of who are clean and sober. By staying close and providing support to each other I believe my recovery

    OMGZ!!1! Internet Addiction Is Not Listed In the DSM-IV!!

    Can you believe that these people actually have rehab centers set up for this so-called disorder? It's not supported by any evidence, and lots of doctors oppose it as a diagnosis. Besides, all of the supporters of this "disorder" are probably just pissed off that they grew up with Atari instead of XBox. So what if a person never leaves their home or allows their relationships to fail because they need to get to the next skill level in WoW? I won't believe that this a problem until there is REAL SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE--like inclusion in the DSM. If it's not there tomorrow--I'll just tell everybody that you are a liar for pretending that such a thing exists.Here's a quote that shows that somebody just made this up all on his own, and now they even have people convinced that you need rehab for internet addiction!

    Drug Addiction Treatment and Alcohol Rehab Saved My Life
    2008-01-21 10:25:53
    Growing up gay presented a multitude of problems for me, many of which I chose to deal with by taking cocaine and alcohol. Everything seemed so difficult to me, whether it was maintaing a relationship in the gay world, the social scene, issues with my parents or issues within myself. Cocaine and alcohol just seemed to make things easier. One problem though, I never counted on drug addiction or alcoholism. I never dreamt that I would require drug addiction treatment or an alcohol rehab program.  Not me, drug addiction treatment and alcohol rehab was for the losers. Regardless of who it was for, I needed it and within a week I was in rehab treatment. After being in drug addiction treatment for about a week I started to be introduced to other patients and their lives. It seemed as though there were more things we had in common than differences. With the exception of me being gay, we were very much alike. We all wished we had gone to drug addiction rehab sooner, none of us could stop on

    Addiction Treatment for Orlando and Jacksonville, Florida
    2008-01-10 11:55:44
    Orlando, Florida certainly was an interesting place to live with all the amusement attractions and clubs to frequent. Unfortunately, with all this excitement came lots of alcohol and with the alcohol came the crystal meth. After some time, although I denied it, I was suffering from an addiction to both. It wasn’t until I received my second DUI and fell down some steps and cut my forehead, that my partner insisted I get into addiction treatment in Orlando. With great hesitance, I began to research Orlando addiction treatment which could treat a gay man and wanted to treat a gay man. Addiction treatment in Orlando, Florida was really limited and especially so regarding the LGBT. I later stumbled on addiction treatment in Jacksonville, Florida for the LGBT. I was excited and scared at the same time. I would be away from my partner, I didn’t know Jacksonville, Florida and was scared what life would be like without crystal meth and alcohol. I was excited because I was going to an addiction treatment program that understood me. After a few days, I finially left Orlando and headed to Jacksonville. When I arrived at Freedom Rings I felt really welcome. This addiction treatment program was much nicer than the others in Orlando. I have to admit that it has only been four weeks since addiction treatment ended, I still think about alcohol and crystal, but I am committed to staying clean and sober. thank you to Freedom Rings and the addiction treatment staff.  Bookmark to:

    Addiction Treatment in Key West, Florida
    2008-01-07 10:31:25
    From what I could see, there doesn’t seem to be very much addiction treatment in Key West and even less inpatient addiction treatment that focuses on the needs of the LGBT. Yes, there are outpatient therapists, but for the individual that needs addiction treatment in an addiction treatment center there are few to choose from. There irony here is that the population in Key West, Florida is predominantly LGBT. There is a gay friendly addiction treatment center in Florida which is located in Jacksonville, Florida. This addiction treatment center, which is called, Freedom Rings, is not an entirely gay treatment center. It is an addiction treatment program which meets the needs of the LGBT community. This approach is considered more effective than the “gay only” addiction treatment approach. The general belief in the addiction treatment world is that a person’s last day in an addiction treatment program should resemble their first day in the real world. This is what Freedom Rings is all about. You can find Freedom Rings addiction treatment center at www.gay-rehab.com. We welcome our friends from Key West in advance.

    Pride and Gay Drug Addiction
    2008-01-03 17:14:19
    Research has shown us that drug addiction in the gay community is higher than the heterosexual community.  So what!!!!! As with the heterosexual community, pride will keep us from seeking addiction treatment. Pride will keep us from asking for help with almost anything. It is not until we  have lost what we value most where  we put our pride in our pockets and ask for  drug addiction help. The opposite from pride is humility, supposedly a key ingredient in addiction recovery. I agree. My drug addiction was killing me. I tried everything I could to stop, but it was impossible. I just didn’t want anyone to think I needed them. Finally my drug addiction got to be too much and I didn’t care what anyone else thought. I needed drug addiction help NOW and needed it bad. My pride almost killed me, not my drug addiction. When I entered drug addiction treatment I found out I was not the only one. Every gay man and woman I spoke to understood how pride kept them out there longer. Today, it is not my pride I talk about, but my gratitude for drug addiction treatment. Without the drug addiction help, I never would have found drug addiciton treatment. Today, asking for help is easy, not comfortable, but easy.

    Club Drug Addiction in the Gay or Straight Communities
    2007-12-30 18:20:53
    Club drug addiction can cause serious health problems and even death, especially when used in conjunction with alcohol. Though club drugs may be popular with some teen and young adults in party situations, they also pose real and life-threatening health risks. At an age when many youth may feel invincible, feeling the negative effects of club drugs may come as a shock as true human vulnerabilities to taking illicit substances are exposed and brought to light. The increase of the use of club drugs in the gay community is also on the rise, leading to a higher incidence of club drug addiction. Since so much of the club drug use is found in bars, and so many of the social activities of the gay community center around the bar scene, the consequences are obvious. Club drug addiction is treatable, so FIND TREATMENT NOW!  1-800-511-9225….. Ecstasy, Rohypnol, Ketamine and GHB are the most common club drugs on the scene. Rohypnol is also known as the “date rape” drug and has been implicated in many sexual assaults over the past 5 years teens and young adults are attracted to the club drugs because of the euphoria one may feel when at first taking the substances. Most club drugs are also easy to obtain and cost little compared to other illegal substances, which easily leads to club drug addiction.. Ecstasy (MDMA) is perhaps the most famous of the club drugs, which is both a stimulant and a hallucinogenic. XTC, as it is often referred, is a “hug drug” that loosens inhibitions and gives a feeling of temporary wellbeing, energy, empathy and openness. Ecstasy was legal in the United States before May 31, 1985 as it was used as a designer recreational drug and sometimes in psychotherapeutic settings. The health issues associated with the club drug XTC are primarily the body’s inability to regulate temperature. This can lead to kidney, liver and cardiovascular system failure.

    Types of Heroin Addiction Treatment and Opiate Addiction Treatment
    2007-12-26 06:52:10
    Heroin Addiction Treatment A variety of effective addiction treatment is available for heroin addiction. Heroin addiction treatment tends to be more effective when heroin abuse is identified early. The addiction treatments that follow vary depending on the individual, but methadone, a synthetic opiate that blocks the effects of heroin and eliminates withdrawal symptoms, has a proven record of success for people addicted to heroin. Other pharmaceutical approaches, such as buprenorphine, and many behavioral therapies also are used for the treatment of heroin addiction. Buprenorphine is a recent addition to the array of medications now available for the treatment of heroin addiction and other opiate addictions. This medication is different from methadone in that it offers less risk of addiction and can be prescribed in the privacy of a doctor’s office. Buprenorphine/naloxone (Suboxone) is a combination drug product formulated to minimize abuse. The best situation to administer this medication is within an addiction treatment program for the additional support people need.. Heroin Detoxification or Heroin Detox Heroin detoxification programs aim to achieve safe and humane withdrawal from opiates by minimizing the severity of withdrawal symptoms and other medical complications. The primary objective of a heroin detoxification program is to relieve withdrawal symptoms while patients adjust to a drug-free state. Not in itself a treatment for heroin addiction, heroin detox is a useful step only when it leads into long-term addiction treatment that is either drug-free (residential or outpatient) or uses medications as part of the treatment. The best documented drug-free treatments are the therapeutic community residential programs lasting 3 to 6 months. Heroin addiction treatment programs today, generally last 40 days. Opiate withdrawal is rarely fatal. It is characterized by acute withdrawal symptoms which peak 48 to 72 hours after the last opiate dose and disappear w

    Methamphetamine, High Risk Behavior and Meth Addiction Treatment Program
    2007-12-21 05:10:23
    Crank, Speed, Crystal, Ice, Glass, Tina or Methamphetamine are some of the many different street names for Methamphetamine. Methamphetamine abuse and meth addiction is now considered a national epidemic. When Methamphetamine is taken into the body, large surges of dopamine are released in the brain, causing an intense rush of pleasure or prolonged sense of euphoria. Over time, Methamphetamine destroys dopamine receptors, making it nearly impossible for the addict to feel pleasure without it. This causes a vicious cycle of extreme highs under the influence of Methamphetamine and extreme lows without it.  Extended and chronic use can lead to psychotic behaviors, including paranoia, insomnia, anxiety, extreme aggression, delusions, hallucinations, and even death. Powdered Methamphetamine can be snorted, smoked, injected, diluted in drinks and swallowed or eaten whole. There are pill forms of Crystal Meth but are rare and not as widely used as powdered Methamphetamine. One year of Crystal Meth use can cause irreparable damage to the brain and body. One of the more unfavorable behaviors associated with crystal meth addiction is sexual promiscuity. An addict suffering from crystal meth addiction or meth abuse may engage in sexual acts that they normally would not do when sober. The rise in libido when high is quadruple that of the normal, average sex drive. The risky sexual behavior involved with Methamphetamine abuse or meth addiction is one of the leading contributors to the spread of sexually transmitted diseases. The destructive nature of Methamphetamine doesn’t stop with the addict; it stretches to all those around them, affecting loved ones and those close to them. An addict on a Methamphetamine “run” or binge can stay up for days, or in extreme cases, weeks at a time. But eventually, the addict crashes and may sleep for days to recoup the desperately needed rest. During this time, children of the addict are neglected and may find themselves having to fend fo

He is the professor at a Harvard University and director of Computer Addiction Services at McLean Hospital in Massachusetts.According to him, too much means when you start losing something from your life or usual activities as a result of the computer/internet activities. Orzack lists the following among the psychological symptoms or signs of computer addiction:Having a sense of well-being or euphoria while at the computer.Craving more and more time at the computer.Neglect of family and friends.Feeling empty, depressed or irritable when not at the computer.Lying to employers and family about activities.Inability to stop the activity.Problems with school or job.While the physical symptoms could be dry eyes, carpal tunnel syndrome, migraines, backaches, skipping meals, poor personal hygiene and sleep disturbances.It is okay to spend time on the internet, but don't let other things start to slip away from your life. :)Read also:Techno Hazard: A New Monster in Our Neighborhood and How to Handle Them.

    Lenght of Stay in Drug Addiction Treatment Matters
    2007-12-07 09:16:05
    A drug treatment program needs to address life issues outside of the drug addiction. Medical, psychiatric, social and legal problems also need to be addressed in order to provide an effective drug treatment program. Because a person’s addiction recovery process does not follow any particular course, drug treatment plans need to be adjusted based on patient progress. Changes in medication, dual diagnosis treatment or questioning one’s sexuality in the gay, lesbian arena are just some examples of changes that may take place in a drug treatment plan.   Drug treatment programs also need to take into account a person’s gender, age and culture in order to provide individualized drug addiction treatment. People with drug addictions need to stay in treatment long enough for treatment to be effective. Drug addiction research has indicated that for most people, a 6-8 stay is the minimum for effective drug addiction treatment. The longer a person stays in addiction treatment the be

    Florida Addiction Treatment Program Helps Me To Be Me

    I grew up in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida and eventually moved to Orlando. It was in Orlando I began my use of crystal meth, even though I dabbled with cocaine when I lived in Ft. Lauderdale. The main reason I began using drugs in the first place was I was uncomfortable in my own skin. The more uncomfortable I got and the more pressure I felt the more meth I used until I had a crystal meth addiction. Then thing really got bad.

    ALCOHOLISM AND ADDICTION TREATMENT
    2007-12-05 21:49:33
    There are a number of different types of treatment for alcoholism and drug addiction; some have been shown to work much better than others.With the exception of extreme cases which would make such factors as intervention and close monitoring necessary for the health, safety, and well-being of the individual or others, the best method of treatment involves the person getting the help he needs in dealing with his problem, while not being cut off from his general everyday life. In this manner, the person does not lose sight of the fact that daily life goes on and he is to be a part of it, while at the same time being able to give his recovery process the attention that it needs.For most alcoholics and addicts, Twelve-Step meetings and mental health counseling provide sufficient basis for recovery. With these aids, he can begin to deal with both his substance dependency and the emotional or mental factors which also cause him difficulties. As it is a common problem for some people to become entirely too dependent on his or her “Program” to the extent that he or she has little life beyond it, mental health counseling can assist the person in achieving the necessary balance.For example, if the person does not associate with anyone who is not “in the Program,” or his everyday vocabulary consists almost solely of 12-Step Program slang, or if he cannot make even the most basic decisions in his daily life without checking it out with his Sponsor, these are clear indicators that he does not have the necessary balance in his life. While for a recovering alcoholic or addict their program plays a very important role in his life, it is essential that he know that life itself is not a program.The recovering alcoholic or addict needs to have his own role in his own life. Depending on the individual and his circumstances, this includes such factors as holding a job or running one's household. While those who have just begun recovery are cautioned to not make

    Gay Drug Addiction Treatment and Substance Abuse
    2007-11-25 06:12:07
    Gay Drug Addiction Gay drug addiction and crystal meth abuse is especially dangerous because of the close relationship between gay drug addiction, crystal meth, HIV/AIDS and sexually transmitted diseases (STD). Gay men are still the highest risk group for HIV, and gay intravenous drug users have two methods of contracting or transmitting the virus, through sexual contact or infected needles. While clearly not all gay addicts are intravenous drug users, gay addiction is still dangerous because drug and alcohol use lowers inhibitions and often results in poor choices that have physical and social consequences. Also of special risk are gay drug user’s especially crystal meth abuse that frequent the “party-n-play” scene, where the likelihood of regrettable sexual choices under the influence is high.

    Sex Addiction Treatment in a Rehab Center
    2007-11-24 16:29:35
    Who Suffers From Sexual Addiction? Over 80% of sex addicts report physical, sexual, or psychological abuse in early childhood years.  Many people who become sexual addicts grew up in normal homes, but lacked attention or sufficient affection from loved ones, and later in life sought that affection erroneously through sexual behaviors.  There are a variety of causes for sex addiction, but more surprising is the manner in which sexual addiction affects the lives of addicts.  Many sex addicts lead outwardly normal lives, having a spouse, family, stable jobs, and appear to be normal everyday people.  The reality is for many sex addicts; a secret life of sexual behaviors is putting themselves and their loved ones at risk, and gains more and more dangerous potential with each impulsive act.  Sex addicts are common people and do not stand out with noticeable signs, that may be present in drug or alcohol addiction.  Sex addicts often feel shame and guilt even more so than drug or alcohol
