Confidential Drug Rehabilitation

I have an addiction to handbags…. and I have 3 white leather bags. One is Coach, one Balenciaga and the other isn’t designer.
The Coach one is a little older and is pretty dingy. The balenciaga is just a little dirty, slightly not as white as when it was new, and the non designer one is new and clean.
Is there any one product that could be used to clean all 3 bags safely without risk of ruining them?
Or a good professional leather cleaner in NYC?
I’m afraid to take any risks with them because I really like these bags and one was very expensive so I don’t want to ruin them.
Thanks for the help!

NEED HELP! Five years ago, I would have never needed or considered doing this. We were a very stable middle class family. I had raised two children and decided to go back to school and take some classes in psychology. I became very interested in that and social work and soon quit a 20 year job to return to school. Cutting our income in half was bad but after winning an academic scholarship at the end of two years, I went on for a degree in Social Work. I drove 100 miles per day to school. In the meantime, everything went haywire. I graduated in May of this year and have not gone to work because of family responsibilities. While in school, I dealed with a son in drug addiction but now with a long period of recovery. He became a father out of wedlock to a precious baby girl in 2003. She was abandoned to him at 2 1/2 years old with mother coming back in a few months. Shortly after, a 1 1/2 year custody battle began that became ridiculous. He now has custody of her. Both of them live with my husband and I. His work has been cut by the economy to part time. He has no government help or child support aiding with this child. My husband has just had a week a month cut from his job due to economy. Our savings have dwindled away with attorney fees, medical bills, even with a bond to get me out of jail on a false criminal charge. If not for my education, I would have never considered this lawsuit, but I have watched wrongdoing of Childrens Services, classism, false accusations placed in agency files and passed around to others for months concerning me when they were not only untrue but could have been easily tested for validity. Some of these things I have documentation of, a tape recorded interview with the head of an agency showing many mistakes, etc. Other things, I have very strong circumstantial evidence concerning. Nobody here wants to fight the state. The DA’s office sure doesn’t want to be involved when they work for the state also.
Some of the many issues include:
1) Sexual abuse of my then 2 1/2 year old granddaughter. The story came to me after a long period of talking about this person in a very traumatic story one night after seeing his father who looked very much like him. I asked her to tell dad and granddad the next morning. She said enough without going into details as she did with me. They took her to Childrens Services. It was thought that I MANIPULATED the child to tell this, and I doubt was ever even documented.
2) Mother and father still had custody but both sets of parents were ordered by the court to supervise with parents at all times, including me. At the same time, they held a document saying that I was believed to have character flaws, mental illness, abuse prescription drugs, and take illegal drugs. Do you leave a child with a parent that needs supervision to be done by someone like this?
3) I walked out of a Family Meeting according to them because I was unwilling to compromise or something similar. I did walk out and told them the reason why. I had listened to what would be to everyone’s convenience for half an hour. Not once did I hear anything concerning “what was in the best interest of the child.” They also wanted both parents to sign away custody to grandparents. My son refused to do so without it being heard before a judge. I refused to sign to take custody until both parents were said to be unfit before a judge.
4) My son’s lawyer called and asked to see him and that he bring parents. When we got there, papers were already waiting for everyone to sign. Based on a conversation with Childrens Services, she had decided that there was no use representing him. She wanted him to sign rights to us. She would then become our attorney and fight to be able to get us JOINT custody with the other grandparents. She was fired.
5) For about two years this child did not know where home was. She usually was ordered to spend three days at one place and four at the other.
6) My son had held temporary custody since the abandonment. One night probably a year into this hearing, she was talking to me in bed before going to sleep. All of a sudden she said, “Don’t you know that my daddy don’t have custody anymore. Nana and Papa do” I just let it go and said nothing. The next morning I went to the courthouse to see the documents of the hearing. She was right! For 5 months they had held custody of the child. My son nor any of our family realized this. It was done on a court date where the judge had plainly said that he would not discuss custody that day…only visitation. He sent us in a room to decide on visitation for the next 2 weeks and said when settled, we were dismissed. The grandparents lawyer came out and returned to the podium. He said “your honor, we have one piece of business that we didn’t address.” The judge asked what, and bringing the paper to the judge, he said that it was the visitation agreement that we had made to be signed.
I would LOVE to at least have some more comments here!

My biological father is an alcoholic way back before i was born. My mom couldn’t handle his abusive behavior that she left us when i was 6 & went to another country.My grandma took care of me while my grandfather supported us financially. My dad didn’t finish high school & was more interested in hanging out with his alcoholic friends.He has been jobless ever since & doesn’t care about working to earn a living since he was dependent on my grandfather. Since i was a child, i live in guilt, shame, anger & fear bec. everytime he comes home drunk, he is a loudmouth, angry & wouldn’t care less if the stereo’s speakers was blasting so loud late at night in our apartment that neighbors complain about how nuisance we are.I feel so much shame as i hid in my room crying with much hurt & pain waiting for the nightmare to end. I had low self-esteem.I get so angry at him that in my mind i wanted him to die or I would think of killing myselfThings became more difficult for me when my grandmother had a stroke & Alzheimer’s that I could no longer lean on her anymore for comfort.For years, the nightmare brought by my father continued & so is my darkest moments of despair as I try to focus on my studies while hiding in my room bearing the hurt & shame.Yes there are normal days when he is sober but when he is drunk & rowdy again, it seems that the bright & sunny world I once knew suddenly turn stormy as hell for me.I feel I wanna run away, scream, cry & shout but nobody listens & understands. By God’s grace I was able to finish Business Administration in College.I am 21 now but my dad still has his habit. He tends to quit for a few days or weeks but then he goes back to drinking again esp. when he gets to save money that my well-off aunt gives him allowance daily out of sympathy.My aunt takes care of the utilities since my grandmother, their mother, lives together with us in the apartment. I took the graveyard shift cashier job in an Internet café that my aunt owns as a way of escape & avoid experiencing the trauma to avoid my father’s drunkenness as much as possible. But fate seems to be playing at me bec. my dad sometimes is drunk early in the morning or in the afternoon & it leaves me so bitter & angry again towards him, others around me & myself. I get so angry again that I swear & cursed my own father. As a Christian, this really saddens me & is so hard for me to try to live a life without anger & hate when life itself forces me to do so. I feel so alone & dejected. I never have a boyfriend maybe bec. I don’t seem to trust men or have not found yet found someone who would be serious & accept my family’s situation. I still pray that one day my dad would finally finally quit drinking & be a real father to me. In our Asian country, I don’t know yet if we have support groups like Al-Anon. Right now, I am dying to settle a normal life for awhile but I am still anxious at the moment bec. I still can’t find a decent job once I quit the cashier job. And if I get a new daytime job, I dreaded the thought if I have to live again the nightmare when my dad gets hooked to drinking again in the evenings. I am so sick & tired of living this way.In our culture is really different bec. children are still responsible for their parents even when they are beyond 18 years of age. But now I plan to rent a place of my own so I could have a peaceful place to run to when I come home and find him drunk again. I think I couldn’t bear any longer like before. I had enough of the trauma since I was a kid. Am I being selfish if I will start to live on my own and try hard to escape from home when he gets drunk? But my grandmother is still living in our apartment and I don’t want to leave her when I know she has short time left with us. But I am really affected by my dad’s alcoholism. I tried to advise him but the advise just feel on deaf ears. I must admit we don’t talk so much at all and I am not open to him bec. it’s hard to establish a close relationship with him bec. he tends to easily misinterpret and get angry at things bec. a dominant person he is. I am anxious also since I will be the one to take care of my father’s allowance bec. my aunt made a deal that she will quit giving help to my dad if I quit working at the café.That would mean it will be hard to save or there won’t enough left for me to save and being financially stable on my own feels completely out of reach for me. Please I need some advise ,I am really confuse.

My forbidden secret lover and I want to get matching tattoos that respresent our love, our lust, our addiction to each other, and our commitment to one another. We are both married so it needs to be something that our spouses are not easily able to understand the meaning.

We thought of a symbol in kanji and just telling our spouses it’s their name or some other meaning. But, I want something that is prettier than that. I want something that matches that can be for a male and female. Not too masculine, not too feminine with a touch of lust and love. Something that represents secret or forbidden.

Also if you can think of a good place to put these tattoos on our bodies. We welcome any ideas! It needs to be in a place that doesn’t show to the public easily due to business.

Please reply ASAP because I’d like to get this done very soon. Please don’t respond with hateful replies. We know what we are doing is considered wrong to most people but this is our choice.

..teenage girl, roxanne (or something) goiing thru changes in her high school career. has really wealthy friends, one of them THERESA is a pretty bad egg. in 8th grade theresa was sent to a rehab facility centered on helping eating disorders and treating them. roxannes parents are pretty wealthy and well known and her mom wants her to go to the annual summer camp that roxanne always goes to and is a counselour at.. her mom tells her to invite theresa and her other friend mary kate. mary kate and theresa have other plans, however… sign up for camp, make parents pay all the money and instead go on a road trip for the time (month and a half). roxanne falls for it and ditches camp. theresa invites roxies b/f, and his two friends. ends up that theresa screws everyoneup and just wanted to meet up with her druggie anorexic hippie friends, and roxies b/f is a loser who screws with mary kate, etc.. its all like everyone has secrets and finding your true friends and religion in situations …
yeh, i’ve been wanting to write lately and thought of screen writing, but like novels better. srry if the idea or plot isn’t clear…it may sound really awkward and weird, but i’ve really got some cool endings thought of and things like that. plus i only had a paragraph or so to describe, so yehh srry.
it sounds typical also but the characters are really taking a long time to sort out and i think its differnt than most stories like this b/c its psychological in some ways… we find out more about the characters as the story goes on, what motivates them, and some have hidden identities as well as a strong case of split personality. it gets good
first of all they’re not eight graders!… thats when one went to rehab. i didnt mean to make the anorexics on drug a stereotype, its just who they are. the main characters are going to be Juniors in high school. neways, thanks for telling me. i’ve been thinking about writing things other than “kid” stories, but this IS my first time writing a really big thing, and it is difficult at first…

Ok. So, I’m into Sims 2 Machinima, and I’m really fond of it. But, I have a new series coming and I really like the plot, but I don’t know what to call it. Now, before I give you the plot, I want you to know, I am professional. I have Sony Vegas 8.0, and know how to use. I ONLY work in high quality, and I want the name to sound legit, and pro.

The story plot:
Ok, so Viv (short for Vivienne) had a rough childhood; divorced parents, not much money, no friends. But her teen years were worse; she did drugs, got pregnant at 16, and got kicked out of her moms home. Now she 24 and has her 8 year old daughter, Shianne. She STILL does drugs, until, her daughter convinces her to go to rehab. But she doesn’t stay. AND IT GETS WORSE. Until, the Child Protection Service comes for her daughter. And thats when she realizes whats happened to her. And from then on she attempts to get better.
And the rest is a secret.
OH YEAH! She got worse because of her roommate in her home, her “friend” Micheal, who is a slacker, and spends his entire day doing his drugs. So thats what influenced her to start doing drugs again.

So, PLEASE HELP ME!

I am trying to help my fiance with his drinking problem without butting in too much. I would just like to find a good self-help book that helps with people with addictions. Thanks for all of you who help out!

I drink as much as I can, I am a young mother, my children our young, I have found a treatment facility that includes your children in your recovery, but since I have been AMAZING at hiding my alcoholism, all of my family and friends keep telling me that I could probably stop with “outpatients” or “you do not need to stop drinking entirely, you are fun to drink with”, the catch 22 is these are the same people who tell me, when I am openly drunk around them, that I “shouldnt drink so much” or
“you cant handle your alcohol” or you are a “mean drunk”, I know what they say is true, but the thing is, I CANNOT STOP DRINKING! even when I try, I cannot, I feel that. for my children, I should get help, and not to feel ashamed, since in the long run, they are going to be much happier, but I have everyone around me, in a sense, criticizing me for wanting to get this help! I am confused, I know I do not tell them all, but I still feel that they should see I am asking for help, and embrace it, ??
