WRONG high fructose corn syrup is bad news . It will cause weight gain . possibly lead you into becoming a diabetic . The only to stop alcohol addiction is stop drinking . and get away from the environment that promotes drinking. Take it one day at a time . Plus if you have support from loved one and friends that will be great too. Alcohol turns into sugar in the blood stream any way . That's why diabetics can't drink alcohol and avoid fructose corn syrup altogether
First thing... Do you want to? If you do, you are already on your way! Find support to get you through the hardest part. (the first 30 days) Then it may be counseling, changing the normal routine or a number of other things. If you are serious about it, start TODAY! Wish you the best of luck!!
i have been feeling weird lately. i have been having the urge to do things i haven't done in years.
when i was 13 i started doing bad drugs things i cant even say on this.
but lately everything has been going so wrong i want to do them again i am 19 now and feel like doing these drugs everyday. i did them a week ago again and i loved it and now i want them again. im scared.
i haven't done anything like this in at least 2 years and so much has gone wrong lately that i love the drugs.
i mean i saw my friends dad die last week actually watched him and had to call 911 and so many other things have happened.
these drugs make me feel good help me lose weight and do everything. i don't want to do them but i do at the same time.......
and its not just the drugs its also addiction to self mutilation and sex and alcohol. i feel like im on a downward spiral back into things like this and i don't want to be but it feels so unbelievably good i don't know how to stop..
how do u fight addiction?
Surround yourself with people who love and care about you and tell them your feelings. Tell them you need their help to stay clean, and not hurt yourself, and stay away from people and places where you can get the stuff. I'd also go see a therapist. Keep reminding yourself they aren't good for you, and your family and friends don't want to see you hurt. Good luck!

The grammar and spelling may be terrible (i apologize).
I have been thinking about this for some time now. I am now 27 and over the last 7 years have experienced way too much drug and alcohol incidents. I'm trying real hard to hit the key points of why I think the last 7 years of my life would interest anyone enough to read. From grade school until I graduated high school, I remained the most straight edge kid you ever met. I Even graduated high school being on National Honor's society and was near the top of the class. I was an athlete and came from a middle class family, but the whole time I was dealing with an alcoholic father on the weekends. He was a good father most of the time, but did not handle drinking so well. For that reason, I did not have a drink until I was almost 21, but did start doing drugs at age 20. I have been arrested 7 times for alcohol related incidents and yet I have held down a very respected professional job for three years now after graduating college with a 3.2. I have friends that are millionaires and friends that have literally lived on the street. I have a daughter that was born when I was 25. I have dwelt with addiction problems since I can remember. Starting early with being addicted to being perfect in everything I did, which then turned into playing basketball, and then right before drugs, I was addicted to sex. To try and quit one addiction I just start doing another more often. Every time I quit doing drugs, I start drinking more or becoming addicted to sex again. I discovered online poker which became my worst addiction of all. To this day I am paying back over 6000 in credit cards used to play online poker during college. I am in the process of going through my 2nd DUI which may result in the losing of my job. I have dwelt with being put in a psych ward twice and have been given the diagnosis of Manic Depressant (Bi Polar) and having generalized anxiety since I was 18. I fight off abusing drugs for months at a time only to end up going back or becoming a worst alcoholic again.
I am looking for a way to make everything bad and dumb I have done be helpful and meaningful some way.I think that maybe If I wrote a book telling my life story so far, that it might be able to help some people. I have experienced a lot of life in a few short years that people who are lucky only have to watch in movies. Also, because of my profession, it is ridiculous that I am the person that I am. I know its wrong and I feel bad, yet I still do dumb things. I was the youngest person to ever be voted "employee of the month " at my job. Yet, I've had to deal with all the guilt of the bad things I keep doing. My book would focus on having three goals: to entertain, to educate,and to help: either those people about the make the same mistakes I did, or to help their families to understand the mind set of someone with an addictive personality.
The book would include sex, drugs, over coming them, and how to deal with them, . I am not sure if there are many books out there like this. I know a lot of people have lived WAY worst lives, but most of the ones that I know, never finished college, are behind bars, are have passed away.
I have managed to get a good job, do it well, yet I still deal with the addiction issues and am still figuring out how to stop.
Thanks for your time and I am fine with criticisms, but the real question I am asking is if you think this is a book worth writing to be read. I am also going to be pursuing a career as a speaker to younger children and teens about my life and ideas to stay clean.
From what you say I think your book would help many people struggling with drug and alcohol addiction. Follow your dreams and write the book. I wish you lots of luck.
Addiction seems like a HUGE problem. Addicted to alcohol, drugs, tobacco, pornography, gambling, even videogaming. This seems like a good site with sensable information about figting addiction and finding resources to fight addiction. It also has good support tools for families like their forum. BUT what do you all think?
http://www.riseaboveaddiction.com
p.s. I love their blog...
After browsing through the site, I think it is a good one. Unlike most others, there is no "surrender your will to God" or "100% natural solution" content. Well, maybe in the ads, but those are by Google. This site encourages the reader to seek professional help, which is good. It offers a forum which must be used with care, since, unlike group therapy, it is not guided by a counselor.

The One Where I Weigh in on DJ AM#39;s Death – Evil Beet Gossip
Molls has done a fantastic job of keeping everyone updated on the death of Adam Goldstein, aka DJ AM. I want to weigh in briefly. I know a lot of people are struggling to come to terms with his death right now. I’m one of them. I knew Adam. We weren’t by any means close, but our social circles overlapped when I lived in LA, and I had the pleasure of seeing him every now and again.
I know that in the coverage of his passing, the media is going to focus on the meth pipe in his apartment, and on the prescription drugs, and, of course, on the fact that he died of an overdose. We’ll have to cover the story as it breaks, because that’s what we do around here as a business.
But I want to take at least one post to focus on the man Adam was before this horrible, tragic relapse. He had been committed to sobriety for many years, and he took his recovery seriously. He was active in the recovery community, and he helped many drug addicts and alcoholics as they battled the relentless demons of addiction. This is a man who was out there saving lives every day. He took his own addiction seriously, and he took his own recovery seriously, and perhaps that’s why this is so frustrating for me today. It seems unfair that some people get to abuse drugs for years and years and years, never once trying to clean up their act, and they seem to live forever in spite of it. From what I’ve heard, Adam’s relapse was recent. He slipped and then he didn’t get much of a chance to get back up on his feet. His addiction just kind of swooped in out of nowhere and got him.
...Stop Drinking Programs
There are plenty of stop drinking alcohol programs for individuals who want to kick off the habit of binge drinking . As a matter of fact, the internet has a lot to offer concerning stop drinking programs and treatments for binge drinking which can be used to beat alcohol addiction and the intention of drinking excessively. But, finding that particular and effective stop drinking program that can help you to end the terrible habit and keep the engine from running at the same time will be a different story and a difficult task as well. It is a very difficult job to find best ways to stop drinking alcohol especially if you are one of those people who have abusing alcohol for a long period of time. It may be difficult because the addiction have gone through the system extensively and penetrated deep enough into your body and stopping drinking on your own may not be the best stop drinking program for you as it requires more medical attention than usual. If an alcoholic decides...
