Connection between separation from parents and addictions.

Can moving from parents to campus change situations with my addictions (porn, internet, don't communicate with peers) for better? I heard sometimes from psyhologists from internet that addictions during living with parents are result of being a child inside. Some said that I stay a child, I don't take responsibility for one's life and so on. I am 18. I know, that I have this problem, and in dormitory it will be the small own ...

Explaining absences from work for treatment

Basically, drank a lot, tried getting sober, went to work and everyone could tell I was sick but they didn't know why, got home, drank a ton, mixed it with benzos, got sent to the ER, did a medical detox and a program and then a dual diagnosis PHP. Missed a lot of work.

I told them I'd be away for a while I was gone for three months. I work at an animal rescue ...

Can withdrawls mimic a virus?

Of course I know withdrawals always make you feel kinda crappy but I'm wondering if they can actually mimic a virus. I haven't used in several (meth and coke) days and now my nose is stuffy, I've been sneezing a bunch, my throat hurts, and I'm kinda losing my voice. Is this just a coincidence or could it be part of the withdrawal?

And, all of a sudden... I really, really miss meth...

It's funny how cravings for this drug seem to strike like lightening sometimes.

Tonight, it was a promotional image for the movie "Spun" where Brittany Murphy is pictured strung out in front of a cheap motel at dusk. Something utterly beautiful about it.

Then I couldn't help but watch a bunch of clips from that movie - particularly the binge in the car scene which gets me every time.

Horrible, horrible life-destroying drug.

I've never ...


Abstinence Based Recovery - An Exercise in Futility?

I was just released from prison for the 3rd time after about 4 years of no criminal charges or sentences to serve. Every one of my run-ins with the law have been related to my addictions to drugs and alcohol; usually alcohol but arguably alcohol cloaking a torched, strung out mind from excessive drug use.

I was locked up on remand for a month after a multi-drug psychosis and a disturbing deterioration in my overall ...


Porn addicitin

I am unable to have a healthy Distance from porn , even though I was able to follow a porn diet from time to time..my last time was 24 days without it.. but it was very frustrating that sometimes I start to envy porn users as they don't want to experiance the amount of discipline I want to practise.. as you know they just naturally accept their addicition.. but for me my mind js always ...

My experience with Internet and Technology Addicts Anonymous

I'm 32 now and I've been an internet and computer  addict my whole life. Been trying to limit my use since I was 20 but failed a lot of times.

Previously I only talked about my compulsive internet use only with a few psychologist over the years. None of them were particularly helpful for my internet addiction.

I joined one of the internet addict anonymous online meetings out of desperation, not really expecting much out ...


Looking for a book about internet addiction

Hello,

I am looking for a good book about internet addiction.
Just like internet addiction is spreading in the world, crappy books about internet addiction do the same. I am not looking for a book about "bad habbits" or "improving productivity", I am looking for a book for those whose partners have left because of their addiction, who risk their jobs, who cry at 6 am because they want to go to bed, who won't ...
