Confidential Drug Rehabilitation

by wannaoreo

Question by kat: Can a person who was a cocaine addict drink alcohol occasionally after rehab?
My husband is getting out of a 6 month drug rehab program on Friday. I want to know if it is ok to allow him to drink alcohol or not. Alcohol was never a problem foe him, cocaine was his only addiction. I do not drink very often. I will maybe have 1 or 2 drinks every couple of months. I just wanted to know if I should ban all alcohol from our home? I just need some guidance on this one. Serious, helpful answers please.

the risk that he could trade one addiction for another is pretty high. To be on the safe side, I would remove all alcohol from the house.

Mike Burke came from a family of prominent lawyers before becoming a powerful attorney himself. He also came from a strong Irish-American family who were heavy drinkers. Mike Burke is an alcoholic and a compulsive gambler. This is called cross addiction. He found his new addiction to gambling shortly after a trip to Las Vegas. He soon became a high roller. Before Burke knew it, he went completely broke, and succumbed to borrowing money from his loyal clients. He was arrested for embezzlement and went to prison for three years. He was ordered to pay more than a million dollars back to his victims. Burke published his book called Never Enough in collaboration with the American Bar Association. All profits provide restitution to his victims. His book can be found in Brighton Hospitals gift shop.

Television review: ‘Skins’ on MTV features lots of teen sex and drug use
Unfortunately, it relies on such activity instead of portraying it as part of a bigger picture. From the beginning, which is to say Charles Dickens, stories revolving around the lives of children and adolescents often shared a similar theme. Facing adversity, most often in the form of poverty and/or dead parents, children banded together to create surrogate families of great resourcefulness and …

Question by cbrenee54: I’m a recovering addict wanting to get undergrad degree at univ in Virginia. Seeking a scholarship, clean 1yr
I am graduating a faith-based recovery program.Been here over a year. Have a student loan in default, so can’t get financial aid for approx 1 yr. Have Associate in Mental Health, want to get degree in SocialWork/Relegious Studies. I am very involved in Narcotics Anonymous and am Support Staff employee here at the Rescue Mission in Roanoke, Va. I Can’t find scholarship money for recovering addicts who want to improve their lives by getting a better education to help them become productive members of society. I want this degree to help enable me to serve other recovering, homeless, people. My long-term goal is to get a masters degree in Theology to become a pastoral counselor. I’m in dire need of a scholarship because I must pay consistently for a year to get a student loan out of “default status”. I reside in Roanoke, Va. I had a significant amount of clean time (1990-1998),(2002-2004)

Please do not tell me what i should have done to remain a virgin… I know good and well .i lost my virginity it at 14 1/2 after sept 11 to be exact… lot of things contributed… bad advice, fear of the world ending and it not being something i experienced, and low self-esteem. later i lost both of my parents a year apart of each other.

I try to stop but i do it for the false companionship…. sometimes i try to keep one partner to cut down on the numbers but i lose interest quick and find another. I have been hurt by many of them and only 5 meant anything to me. I do it to releave stress but i do get depressed and regret it but i cant seem to say no.. i day dream about sex and notice that one of the first things i do when i meet a guy is judge on how good it would feel to be with them sexually.

I’ve had only 2 longterm relationships… and very faithful but when im not in a relationship i cant control myself
* telling myself it isnt right.. i am worth more … etc. does not work trust i am about to be an insurance agent. Im an orphan who takes care of my younger sis and her daughter and live in a townhouse. get paid nicely. am very beautiful and talented. But i cannot control my impulse to have sex! and i wanna stress impulse because i really think that i do it just to do it. I wanna be loved having no parents leaves a big emotional gap and i wanna fill it but how can i do that if i cant resist sleeping with someone before i get them to really know me. I again wanna say i dont think i have low self esteem i just really cant say no to sexual situations and i sometimes create them… I should get help right? am i alone?
* My parents know i was not a virgin i told them.. we were very close yes they wer disappointed. but bottomline was they were there for me. IMy father did tell me that i need to be careful that a sexual addiction runs in the family( i actually have an uncle with 26 kids/ 6 being from his current wife) could this be what is happening. is this a part of my heritage or did his words subconsciously stay in my mind and trigger this behaviour
lmao not a fear of the world ending! when i lost it.. that was one of the reasons .. seems dumb but i was still a child:(

My husband is a confessed porn addict. he has phases where he goes without porn for weeks and weeks and then relapses into daily secret sessions of online porn indulgment and mastrubation. After educating myself about this subject and him trying to find a help theraphy group I realized this is a very tough problem. He confessed that he needs professional help and wants to get rid of this habit. I understand from talking to him and reading alot about it that he uses porn as a way of dis associating himself from his inner fears and anxieties and uses porn as pain killers in order to numb himself emotionally. But what I dont understand is why he cant have sex with me. We have in average one and a half time sex per month. (By half I mean just oral). I dont need no comments here like I am not sexy or what not I am a very sexy very attractive woman. He has always been that way with every prior gf before me and has always chosen porn over sex. And had sporadic sex lives with his partners. He sais he is weird in that sense. Is their anyone out there who knows and understands this type of behaviour?
The point is I never knew about him being addicted to porn until far into our relationship and I find it very unfair that I do find myself in a situation I have neither caused nor can help. I can sleep with him walk around him naked if it is not porn he doesnt get aroused. I know that I dont want to deal with it but I have to because we have 2 children . I am tired of being sexually frsutrated knowing I just need to walk to a local CVS and find a guy who will take care of me. It sucks that the man I love and sacrificed for doesnt see me sexually. Well, if I will cheat on him in the future he cant blame me. Its hard to say what the future holds but since it is something he cant just shake off its unlikely to change and thus I feel very tempted to say that I will cheat. Because its simply unfair to me. What does he think? I shall just deal with it and suck it up??? I am a woman in my 20ies WTF is he thinking??? I know I should just leave but thats practically impossible.
