Heroin addict brother – memory loss right now, what should I do?

09 May

My brother has talked to me about his addiction to heroin in the past 3 days. Before he told me it was crack, but then we talked more lately. Two days ago, he called some drug health help center who would’ve been able to address his problem in 10 days from then (so 8 days now I guess). When that time came, he would choose between in- or out-patient. I wouldve tried to convince him to do in-patient for a month. (they would give him methadone doses until his body was no longer addicted I guess?)

Last night I think he may have almost OD’ed, because when I woke him up (around 4:30pm) he doesn’t remember anything really that’s happened in the past 3 days. Doesnt remember calling that drug place- I had to show him the papers he got from them. Doesnt remember talking to me about the heroin- he thought I didnt know. He asked what time it was and where our mother was at (at work) about 5 times in 8 minutes, even though I answered every time.

Is the memory loss permanent?and what should I do?
also, he cant talk to my mother as well because she just gets upset. so he’s been talking to me about his problems all along and been very open with me. So, I dont know if I should tell everything to my mom. I’m considering calling 911 or that drug place, even though I dont think that drug place has an emergency service. Because my brother said when he called them, they booked him “as soon as they could (10 days from the call)”. But I’m not too sure about just getting him to the emergency room of a hospital, because I’m sure they’d just release him in like 3 days and nothing would be changed. I’m really worried about him now, a lot more than I was before…

Religious People: Is it good for the media to be obsessing over Tiger Woods’ affairs right now?

01 May

My personal sense as an agnostic and a former liberal Christian is that no, it’s appalling. I’m not excusing what Woods did in the way of adultery, if in fact he did it, but I think it’s disgusting & bad for his family for the media to be broadcasting it to the world.

I also keep thinking about Jesus and the woman taken in adultery: “He who is without sin, cast the first stone.”

But that’s me.

What do other people think?

Did i do the right thing?

14 Apr

I have been with my boyfriend for 16 months. I am a 30 yr old single mother and have been in recovery from drug addiction for 3 years now. I have a good job, my own place and i am for the most part, responsible. This guy is 33 and lives with his parents with no plans to move out. He just got a license and car a couple months ago, he calls in sick to work whenever he feels like it. I found out a couple months into the relationship that he was doing drugs and dumped him… he promised to get sober and to my knowledge he has so i took him back. He doesn’t approve of how I am with my 3 yr old son and calls him a titty baby and criticizes me and my parenting. I know he has a good heart and he is smart with so much potential but no ambition at all. We had an argument on Sunday about my son which he started at breakfast in front of my Aunt and Uncle. So Sunday night I broke up with him. He is calling and trying to negotiate and doesn’t want to break up. Did i do the right thing? How do i handle this? I am no good at break ups, they always end so badly, the last guy i dumped stalked me for 2 years. What should I do?

How can you stop abuse or bullying right while it is happening?

04 Apr

I have a friend who is being harassed- she embarrassed herself and people know about it, and people are telling their friends and so on and so forth. Just spreading gossip. How can that negative be turned into a positive and not be the victim of that type of abuse or bullying anymore?

I was just thinking that maybe drug rehabs didn’t work for other people because they got into the wrong place. I have a friend who needs to get treated, and she wants to know how to choose the treatment center that will be right for her. I want to be able to help.

How can I find the addiction treatment center that’s right for me?

04 Mar

I tried going cold turkey before, but it made me experience withdrawal symptoms that I really didn’t like. I’ve heard about programs that didn’t work on other people before, so I want to be sure that I’m picking the right addiction treatment center for myself.

I just got the idea that maybe drug rehab programs don’t work for some people because they happen to have picked the wrong kind of treatment program for them. I have a friend who wants to get treated and I want to share some info on how she can choose the right treatment center for her.

The Right Touch: A Read-Aloud Story to Help Prevent Child Sexual Abuse

28 Jan

Product Description
The Right Touch reaches beyond the usual scope of a children’s picture book. It is a parenting book that introduces a very difficult topic–the sexual abuse of young children. This gentle, thoughtful story can be read aloud to a child by any trusted caregiver.

In the story, young Jimmy’s mom explains the difference between touches that are positive and touches that are secret, deceptive or forced. She tells him how to resist inappropriate touching, affirming that abuse is not the child s fault.

The introduction provides valuable information about sexual abuse and guidance on what to do if your child experiences an abusive situation. Jody Bergsma’s gentle illustrations soften the impact of this story; yet this portrayal of a dangerous situation is very realistic. If your child is old enough to sit still and listen to a story, he or she is old enough for The Right Touch.

Used by parents and teachers nationwide to help children avoi… More >>

How To Choose A Massage Therapist That Is Right For You

14 Jan

Choosing a massage therapist is just as important as the type of massage you receive. When it comes to finding a massage therapist you will want to make sure that the therapist is licensed and has the proper credentials.


You should ask them what licensing they have and also ask them if they are a member of any trade associations. One governing board that you can check with to verify a massage therapists certification if the American Massage Therapy Association. They will also be able to point you to a massage therapist in you area who is licensed and certified.


If you have never had a professional massage before, you may be understandably nervous. One thing to consider is the fact that most professional massage therapists will allow you a free test massage. This will not be a full session, but it will be enough to let you know if you feel that you can receive any benefits from the therapist. This is a great way to test the massage therapist services as well as see if you feel comfortable with him or her.


It is very important to make sure that you are contracting the services of a licensed, professional massage therapist. Make sure that you check their credentials with the American Massage Therapy Association.


In addition to checking with massage organizations, many people also find massage therapists through word of mouth. If you have a friend or family member who swears by their therapist, then you may just want to give them a call and set up an appointment.


When you find a massage therapist that you are interested in, it is important to arrange a session where you can interview the practitioner. You should never agree to a massage from someone with whom you feel uncomfortable. The key to a successful massage is relaxation, and if you do not feel comfortable with the massage therapist, you will not be relaxed.


Take your time and choose your therapist carefully. Interview them and ask them questions. If you do not feel comfortable then choose another therapist. When you find the therapist that best meets your needs, you will appreciate the fact that you took the time to find someone you feel relaxed with.


Some things to take into consideration when you are choosing a massage therapist is whether or not they have open communication with you. This means that before the therapist touches your body, they should have a clear understanding of where you are feeling tight muscles, tension, or pain. Ask yourself whether or not the massage therapist is taking the time to find out how you feel.


You should also feel comfortable with the degree of privacy that the massage therapist provides for you. There is no need for the therapist to see you completely disrobed. If you do not feel that your privacy is being respected, then you should consider finding another massage therapist. The therapist should respect your privacy, from the time you disrobe, throughout the massage, and afterwards.


Finally, it is important that you feel comfortable enough with your therapist to let him or her know if you are sensing any pain or discomfort throughout the session. The ideal situation is that the therapist will continually ask for your feedback on the degree of pressure they are using for the massage. However, if they do not ask, be sure to let them know if you are experiencing any discomfort.
