My insecurities and questions. Mostly, I try to be so open minded and accepting. I’m trying. I am….
yes u look terrible. so, what u want to day? 10 o’clock. well????? WHAT ARE U TALING ABOUT.
While I am thankful that you took time out of your obviously meaningful life to watch my video I have no idea, in fact, what YOU’RE talking about!
The fact is, you don’t know until you’ve been there. Hopefully you won’t “be there”. I wasn’t much of a believer in ADHD until I had my son. The middle out of three. I’ve tried everything……counseling, sports, extra attention…..now he’s on meds and I’m seeing an immediate improvement. You just don’t know, until you’ve experienced it, firsthand.
I am almost 45, my father was an alcoholic, my brother was a drug addict and he died less than 2 weeks ago, he was an addict too. I have to drink in order to calm my anxiety. I have been on my own, without immediate family for decades. If I had a dime for every emergency nurse who dismissed me as pathetic, I would be very rich… I have been diagnosed with PTSD, anxiety etc. I have been in an out of hospital at least 100 times in 8 yrs. Mental illness needs to be accepted like cancer.
Someone has to clean up when the “real nurses” lose. As a hospice nurse I can not imagine the mental torture that is available.
Addiction is a long series of decisions that culminate in a final end product. Stop looking at addiction as a disease which it is not. It is not listed in the DSM-IV. The choice to use or not has always theirs.
Addiction presented as a disease is meant to absolve the person of responsibility. It also does not require honesty.
kudos
you are never a recovering alcoholic.You do not recover.You start over.
