Addictions

Intervention.

If you are a friend you need to tell an adult.

I don't care if it is your parents, teachers, counselor in school, even your friends' parents. You need to tell someone.

Yah your friend may hate you later. But you know what do you want that friend dead and go to a funeral instead?

I say sure talk to the friend about it first. But will the friend listen to you? Will they not go off in a rampage?

If it is your son or daughter and this is a parent.

Then you need to again do intervention.

Take them to a counselor, put them in a rehabilitation facility.

Either way don't let it continue.

Take them to your regular physician and tell them what you want and why explain why and what you may have found out.

Or if your regular physician is not available, you need to get them to ER immediately. Don't wait for the doctor's appointment.

And if they refuse to go or they refuse to go with you or get violent you have the right to call the police in your state for help and interception.

Don't hold your child down, don't force your child, don't hit your child or physically hurt your child.

You will be held for child abuse, even if your child hits you.

If the child leaves the home lock the doors, if you have to change the locks and tell them until they cooperate with you, you are not cooperating with them and they cannot come home. They become violent at the door, or break the homes windows, call the police.

Yes this is tough love. But it has to be done.

They have to be helped.

usually if you have no want to press charges they will pick them up to take them to the ER knowing they are on illegal substances and will send them into rehabilitation from ER. IF the teenager does not have illegal substances on them, they will not be arrested. They cannot arrest for someone being under the influence as long as they are not operating any vehicles and/or machinery in most states.

bottom line; Intervention

We suspect that most people who are excessively fun-oriented (with the exception of those who engage in extreme sports for the adrenaline and/or endorphin high) do so as a result of emotional problems, rather than addiction.

Fun can be mood-altering, but much depends on how one defines addiction. The most accepted definitions involve engaging in activities that cause trouble in daily life, but continuing to do them despite the consequences. There are also the issues of compulsion and withdrawal. However, one must also consider the definition of "fun." If it always involved drinking or drugs, there could certainly be an addiction component. We would add that there is nothing wrong with fun. It is one of the things that make life worth living. If, however, it has reached the point of making life more difficult instead of making ie happier and more carefree, there is certainly something to be looked at, no matter what we call it.

It is an interview, or series of interviews combined with physical and psychological exams, that attempts to profile all the physical, psychological and social issues that may bear on a problems such as addiction and emotional or personality difficulties.

Yes, Nubain (nalbuphine) can be addictive, especially when used improperly or in high doses. It is an opioid medication with the potential for physical and psychological dependence if taken for an extended period or misused. It is essential to use Nubain only as prescribed by a healthcare professional to minimize the risk of addiction.

Well this is my opinion only.

I am old and ancient and remember some of those times from way back when.

When growing up in the Hippy Era when peace and love were the main stay of the society. It was pretty much Marijuana in the scene.

A little later with the Manson Crew came along and with Charles Manson came along it seemed heavy metal came into play too and other things that changed are thinking and society and the different wars in Vietnam that we had stronger drugs then Marijuana going around. But more like cocaine and Heroine was the big thing.

Those were the three biggest things for the while.

Then we got into the late 80's and 90's and then it was mostly Crystal Meth was on the scene. We seemed to be in a society everyone was in a rush, had to keep up, had to work hard, had to have the energy, a busy society of computers and cellphones just coming on the scene then, so we had little pills to keep us going and little pills to lose the weight (big thing to be thin at no cost!) and keep our stamina going and keep us going as well. They sold them over the counter at any gas station in some states and they called them tops or Pops or uppers!

Then we still had Marijuana.

Not as much though.

Then there was later in the 2000's Black Ice, Tar and other street market drugs out there and then the date rape drug, now prescription drugs, morphine as well. Heck people can and will sell their prescription drugs to help them the rest of the month, we never had stuff like that or did stuff like that when I was growing up.

It has changed. Now it seems you can buy the more harder drugs and more of it for cheaper then a baggie of Marijuana!

Things have changed with the era and I am sure as we go along there will be more drug changes with the era and the things that are happening. But somehow Marijauna has stayed around for decades and centuries. Now we are learning it is also a cure for some things, or at least to settle some ailments down.

And now we are fighting for the legal status of Marijauna to be legal.

So as the time changes so will the drugs always. It depends on our society and I am noticing that fewer today our new generation are using the harder stuff. Some don't even want to use anything. And find that wonderful.

As I look back on the time that I grew up, I think if we were like our kids today, we may not be so brain dead today!

Drugs such as nicotine, cocaine and a number of others can cause chronic hypo- or hyperthyroidism. There is also a body of evidence that indicates a possible link between thyroid function and a tendency toward addiction. Low thyroid function (hypothyroidism) can cause symptoms that are susceptible to mitigation by stimulants, for example. More research is needed.

Coleridge wrote "The Pains of Sleep" in 1803, which is an accurate description of opium withdrawal. While not technically 18th Century, he certainly researched the subject faithfully for a good part of that period.

Eating dirt is a symptom of an emotional disorder called "pica," a compulsion to eat non-food materials. It is not OK. There is no way to know what sort of harmful chemicals or bacteria might be present, and it could lead to anything from infections to cancer later on in life, to immediate or prolonged poisoning. An acute intestinal blockage leading to extremely painful complications -- even death -- is possible.

No. Don't eat dirt. If you have these compulsions, you should discuss them with a counselor or other professional.

An uncontrollable dependency on a drug refers to a situation where an individual has a strong physical or psychological reliance on the substance, leading to difficulty in controlling or stopping its use despite negative consequences. This can result in compulsive drug-seeking behavior and difficulty functioning without the drug.

In Question 49 of The Vision Test, you are asked to identify the number 571. The challenge is to spot this number hidden among a busy background of similar numbers and symbols. Look closely and focus on each section of the image to find the correct answer.

Caffeine is addictive because it stimulates the release of dopamine in the brain, which creates a feeling of pleasure and reinforces the behavior of consuming caffeine. Over time, the brain becomes accustomed to this increased dopamine release, leading to a tolerance for caffeine and withdrawal symptoms when consumption is stopped. This cycle of reinforcement can contribute to caffeine addiction.

We are not addicted to texting. We suffer from social anxiety, in this case the idea that we might lose something if we are not in touch all the time: might not be cool, might not be "a part of," might miss something.

I eat raw flour. I've been looking on the net and have found out that alot of people do eat it. Some people eat it with a spoon out if a cup, some suck it htrough a straw, and some just get a few spoonfulls out of the bag all day. I once was embarrased about it and didn't tell no one about it but my mother and sisters. And NO I'M NOT PREGNANT!! Nor am I crazy. It's a craving just like cigarettes,sugar,chips,dirt,chalk,clay,tissue,starch, or some kind of candy that you maybe a craver for. I crave it alot when I finish eating. Or if I think about it. I didn't choose to be addictive to it. I started craving it when I got pregnant with my first child. Whenever I get upset before I know it I'm eating a couple spoonfuls of it. If anyone out there reading this and know what I'm talking about please reply. Or if you know what I can do to stop this Plaese reply.

Families of individuals with multiple personality disorder may experience confusion, stress, and emotional upheaval as they navigate the complexities of the disorder.

Chewing gum itself is not addictive in the same way substances like nicotine or caffeine are. However, some people may develop a psychological dependency on gum chewing as a habit or coping mechanism.

Yes, addicts can and do get clean. Many people successfully overcome addiction through various treatment options, such as therapy, support groups, medication-assisted treatment, and rehabilitation programs. With commitment, support, and the right resources, recovery is possible for individuals struggling with addiction.

No, using glue sticks for huffing is dangerous and can be harmful to your health. Inhaling the fumes from glue sticks can cause dizziness, nausea, headaches, and even damage to the brain and other organs over time. It’s important to avoid using any type of inhalant in this way.

To eliminate anger from your life requires forgiveness. Try to recognize the things or people who have made you angry and then forgive them. It's as simple as that. Understand that the people who have done things to hurt you did so for lots of different reasons, forgive them and move on. We seldom have control over the things that happen in our lives but we do have all the power over how we will let them effect us. The hardest thing to do sometimes is to forgive yourself. Just know that guilt follows something that you have done wrong and pain and anger is natures reminder to you to not repeat the act again. Forgive yourself and go and sin no more. You said "temper." Temper is a chronic condition, anger can be but is not always. Temper is the predisposition or the predilection toward anger. For simple anger, forgiveness is about all that is necessary. Temper is another matter. When a person has gotten tot he point that his natural reaction to certain stimuli is anger, he has entered a new category of description. It is highly possible, perhaps even likely that he has become addicted to anger. Anger is a powerful thing. It give its wielder strength he would not normally have. Both physical due to the adrenalin rush, and emotional because anger and rage block out or supercede all other emotions. It is the fight of the fight or flight response. In many cases, the person with a temper will lose the flight portion of the response and it becomes a fight or fight response. he may even seek out experiences and stimuli that make him angry.

So, the is, stop it. Do what ever is necessary to stop the behavior. Continuing will drive everyone away who is important to you. Get some counseling. Learn to meditate. Take up a more constructive, positive hobby. If the behavior rises out of BPD or PTSD, get treatment. Just do what is necessary to fix it. What that is is different for everyone. Me, I use the internet and questions to help me defuse.
