How Do I Get My Wife Off Drugs?

Archive for January, 2010

We think she may be using Meth, but she isnt exibiting any of the signs. We did how ever find some little baggys that we think may be Meth. She isnt the type of person you would think would do this kinda thing, and she isnt exibiting any of the signs. We are thinking that maybe someone she knows tried to get her to try it and she just never did .She did have a brother that died from meth use, and we can not see her doing something like this. What do you all think we should do?

“I really did not expect any trouble. Thank goodness my friend did.”

Those were the words of 35-year-old Jim Tucker, who narrowly avoided being stabbed by 40-year-old Marianne Tucker, his wife of six years, whom he is in the process of divorcing.

Jim left his wife after years of verbal abuse and being forced to do physical labor around the apartment that his disability made him incapable of performing without great pain, he told this reporter, in addition to drug and alcohol abuse. This while his wife Marianne sat around and did nothing, expecting Jim to wait on her hand and foot. She even demanded that he walk her two medically-prescribed “companion dogs,” in contravention of all rules for companion dog owners. Jim’s best friend, Jonathan Baker, got him to stand up for himself and, when that did not affect a change in the situation, helped him move out. Jim is now staying with Baker.

Despite the problems, Jim felt it was important to get together with Marianne to see if they could not reconcile enough to at least be civil when they saw each other in church, and to iron out details of the divorce. So, against Baker’s advice, Jim went back over to his former residence to have a private dinner with his wife.

“I told him it was a bad idea,” Baker said. “I said, ‘She’s dead set that she wants you back, and she as much as told me the last time she called that if she could not have you, no one would.’” Baker said she even implied that the two were gay lovers and that Baker had broken up their marriage so he could have Jim all to himself. Their friends say this is nonsense, since the both of them have a serious eye for the ladies.

“If he was dead set on going,” Baker continued, “then I told him he should be prepared for a problem.” Baker sent along a digital recorder and a small can of pepper spray, secreted in pockets of Jim’s vest. This way, Baker suggested, there would be both an audio record of what went on and some insurance in case Marianne tried anything.

The evening started off well. It was the day after Christmas, and Marianne plied him with wine and gifts the minute Jim walked through the door. The gifts included a scarf she had promised to knit for Jim – a promise made shortly after they had gotten married, and not followed through on until after he’d moved out in late October. She served a sumptuous meal of Jim’s favorite lasagna, crusty garlic bread, Caesar salad, piping hot Minestrone soup… and an appeal for Jim to “just come home” over the homemade tiramisu for dessert.

When Jim said, flatly, no, because she’d admitted that she was not in a drug and alcohol treatment program as she’d promised before he’d even consider coming back, Marianne reached into the kitchen drawer behind her chair in the dining nook and pulled out a butcher knife. Jim deflected her slash at his heart, getting his arm slashed instead, and grabbed for the pepper spray. He gave Marianne a dose of the chemical, jumped back, and ran for the door. He ran out into the parking lot, calling 911 on his cell phone on the way.

At this moment, Baker drove up in his van, it being the agreed-upon time for him to pick Jim up. Marianne, still coughing and wheezing from her dose of pepper spray, ran out into the parking lot, waving her butcher knife and shouting. Baker put the van in gear and started to drive away… when the police arrived.

Five minutes later, Marianne was in handcuffs being driven away in the squad car, and Baker was taking Jim to the hospital. “I do not know what I would’ve done without that pepper spray, and Jon’s advice to be careful,” Jim said. “I’m truly grateful for his help, and God for providing good friends to look out for me.”

Marianne Tucker was booked into Fraleigh County Jail for assault with a deadly weapon and her trial is scheduled to begin on May 13. The divorce Jim Tucker filed becomes final May 21.

A drunk who had just vomited on himself lost it and began to cry my wife is gonna leave me he shrieked. A fellow patron calmed him down whats the problem he asked. The drunk explained that if he came home with vomit on himself again his wife would leave him. The other man came up with a genius plan. Put twenty dollars in your shirt pocket & tell your wife someone else threw up on you & gave you $20 for dry cleaning. The drunk took the advice & went home to pass out. He was woken by his screaming wife. Don’t worry honey it was some one else & they paid me $20 just check my short pocket. A few moments later the wife announced there was $40 in his shirt pocket. Oh yeah answered the drunk he shit in my pants too!

I always thought that gout was a medieval disease. According to the National Institutes of Health (NIH) however, here in the U.S. alone approximately 2.1 million people are affected. It seems to be more common in men over 40, and women after menopause, but rarely in children and young adults. Although with the increase of obesity in this country, those statistics are changing. Other conditions that will increase the risk of getting gout are, diabetes, kidney disease, and sickle cell anemia.

Gout is caused by the buildup of uric acid in the joints. It almost never attacks more than one joint at a time, and usually that is the first joint of the big toe or the ankle. It is caused when your liver is producing more uric acid than the body can excrete in the urine, or the kidneys can filter from the blood. This can be due to a diet high in rich foods, such as red meat, cream sauces, and scallops to name a few. (For the complete list look up foods that contains purine). Drinking alcohol excessively will multiply your odds as well. Also, a more than normal exposure to lead can increase the risk for developing gout. Of course, there are medications that may prevent the body from removing the uric acid as well. Check with your pharmacist if the symptoms occurred after a change of medication.

As far as medicine goes, of course there is an abundance of drugs that will treat your gout, but how many will actually cure it?
The thing that really gets me upset, are the profits the drug companies make without a thought of getting to the crux of the problem. They use government funding, not to find cures, but to get us addicted to relief medicine. If you don’t believe me, just stop taking one of their miracle drugs. Your symptoms will return, make no mistake about it. I believe that the pharmaceutical companies have overstepped their boundaries in the last few years. Lately one can’t go an hour watching TV without seeing one of their commercials. Some comedians have pointed out, and I feel justifiably, that these companies are making up symptoms to fit their medicine. So if you believe as I do, that we can, in many cases, with the help of nature find ways to cure ourselves, Lisa’s story might interest you.

Lisa McDowell was just a normal wife of a man who had been suffering with gout for a long time. She challenged the uncaring drug companies and made a shocking discovery that cured her husband once and for all. Her  initial research took place many years ago now, and because of what she found she has been working with gout ever since. She is now recognized as a leading expert in naturally overcoming gout with over 20,000 people that can attest to it. If you want to find out more please go to:

This is a true story about a woman who endured 20 years of terrible menstrual periods. She had painful cramps, PMS symptoms like mood swings, anxiety, and the resulting disruption they caused in her life.

This story is also about the various treatments she tried and how she discovered a new birth control pill called Lybrel that suspends menstrual periods indefinitely.

(Women readers: Cheryl’s story might seem familiar if you have ever suffered from severe PMS or cramps and wished there was a way to get rid of them. Men: pass this article on to the women in your life – girlfriend, wife, daughters – they all need to know.)

Cheryl’s Story

From the day of her first menstrual period at age 13, Cheryl experienced debilitating cramps with every monthly cycle. The first 3 or 4 days of her period would see her doubled over in bed, unable to sleep, eat or even move. She stopped swimming, quit the gymnastics team and started getting poorer grades because she missed so many classes.

Her family doctor prescribed Midol. When that didn’t work, the strongest medication he could offer was ibuprofen / Advil. But the sheer amount of the drug Cheryl had to take just to control her pain eventually began irritating her gastro-intestinal system. Her mother feared she would get an ulcer, but there didn’t seem to be any other choice.

By 17, Cheryl was dating and had met a wonderful guy that her family and friends all loved. Imagine the luck… her first serious boyfriend and it looked like he was a keeper! Cheryl had never been so happy.

She went on the birth control pill and was hoping some of the positive side effects she’d been told about, like less painful cramps, would result. But the cramps arrived on schedule with her periods. And her emotions went on a wild roller coaster ride that she didn’t understand.

Naming The Culprit: PMS

Cheryl’s moods were unpredictable: one day up, the next down. One moment happy, the next in tears. Her boyfriend was patient but after a few years, the relationship broke down because of her unexplained mood swings. Cheryl was destroyed.

When she was in her 20s, Cheryl learned about PMS (premenstrual syndrome) and PMDD (premenstrual dysphoric disorder, a more severe form of PMS). She learned that hormonal changes before a woman’s period can lead to mood instability, which explained her crazy emotional swings. At least now she knew that PMS was the culprit that had wreaked havoc with her life ever since puberty.

Then her friend’s older sister told her about Depo Provera.

“It’s incredible, Cher… one injection every 3 months and you get not only birth control just as good as the pill but most girls’ periods stop completely. I haven’t had one in 18 months,” she raved. “And without a period, you don’t get PMS!”

So Cheryl went back to the doctor and got her first Depo shot. As her periods stopped, so did the cramps and her emotional ups and downs. She was elated. Until she started gaining weight. And started feeling depressed for no reason.

After two years on Depo Provera, she was diagnosed with depression, possibly triggered or aggravated by the Depo (a fairly common side effect). She stopped the injections and returned to her painful, unhappy periods.

And that’s when the nurse at the Women’s Clinic dropped a bombshell on her.

“Cheryl”, the nurse said, “your cramps and PMS are so severe, they seem to be controlling your life. Did you know that women like you don’t have to go through this every month? That there’s a way to limit the number of periods you have… or you can stop them completely, without Depo Provera injections?”

Cheryl was floored. “No! Tell me more!”

The nurse told her about Lybrel, a new type of birth control pill. Lybrel actually stops women’s menstrual periods completely. It’s especially helpful for women like Cheryl whose PMS is severe and whose menstrual periods are painful, irregular or difficult. Plus the nurse said Lybrel works just as well as traditional birth control pills to prevent pregnancy.

How Lybrel Works

Lybrel contains the hormones ethinyl estradiol and levonorgestrel, common ingredients in other birth control pills. Only instead of taking 21 pills and stopping for 7 days to have a period, as you would with regular birth control pills, you take Lybrel every day without a break, meaning most women don’t get a period at all or just experience minor spotting or breakthrough bleeding.

“But if it’s just a glorified birth control pill, how come nobody told me about it before?” Cheryl asked. “I’ve been suffering for 20 years and now I find out it’s as simple as tweaking my hormone levels???”

In fact, women in the know have been controlling or ending their menstrual periods with birth control pills for many years. Doctors who are familiar with the method have been advising them on how to do it.

But there is still a misconception in some circles that having a period each month is necessary, and that skipping your period is somehow wrong or unhealthy.

The nurse gave Cheryl three different contraceptive options as treatment for her PMS, cramps, and unpleasant menstrual periods:

Yasmin: (aka Yaz) Yasmin is a 21-day on, 7-day off birth control pill. It’s the first birth control pill approved to treat the physical and emotional symptoms of PMDD. Yasmin, in most women, results in shorter, lighter periods (3 days or less), reduced cramps and a more regular cycle — great advantages for women like Cheryl who suffer from heavy, painful menstrual periods.

Lybrel: The newest birth control pill on the market (approved by the FDA in May 2007), Lybrel is also the first birth control pill meant for continuous use, although other birth control pills have been prescribed off-label to be used this way. In one test, nearly 60% of the women taking Lybrel had no bleeding or spotting at all by the 12th month of taking it.

Tiger Woods’ wife Elin Woods saved her husband’s life from a car accident with a golf club.

The initial media reports that instantly spread around the globe sounded dire: Tiger Woods had been “seriously” hurt in a car accident early Friday and was hospitalized.

It turned out the superstar golfer’s injuries, first reported by the Orlando Sentinel, weren’t as dreadful as the word “serious” implied in the police report. But as additional details emerged, it appeared Woods certainly suffered more than a fender bender.

Woods, 33, was backing out of his driveway in the Isleworth community near Orlando, Fla., at 2:25 a.m. when he struck a fire hydrant and then hit a neighbor’s tree, according to the Florida Highway Patrol.

It was almost 12 hours before the police issued an accident report, and it is still unknown why Woods was out driving at that hour and much about the incident remains unclear.

After the first news reports about the accident, Woods’ website in the afternoon issued a terse statement saying he was in “good condition,” after being treated and released from Health Central Hospital in nearby Ocoee, Fla.

The Associated Press later Friday quoted a local police chief as saying Woods’ wife, Elin, used a golf club to smash the back window to get Woods out of his 2009 Cadillac sports utility vehicle after she heard the accident and came outside.

Woods had cuts to his lips, blood in his mouth and was lying in the street, with his wife nearby, and was in and out of consciousness when officers arrived, Windermere Police Chief Daniel Saylor said. At one point Woods woke up and tried to get up but lost consciousness.

FHP Sgt. Kim Montes said troopers arrived at the Woods’ home early Friday evening to talk to the golfer, and that his wife told them Woods was resting and asked them to return this morning, the Orlando Sentinel reported. The troopers agreed to do so.

The FHP’s news release said alcohol was not considered a factor in the accident, and that the crash remained under investigation.

The airbags in Woods’ SUV did not deploy, according to the FHP, and it was unknown whether Woods was wearing a seat belt.

Saylor said his responding officers did not hear anything about an alleged argument between Woods and his wife, according to AP.

“Right now we believe this is a traffic crash. We don’t believe it is a domestic issue,” Montes said.

But owing to the authorities’ technical language in the case of accidents, the world was stunned with headlines of Woods’ “serious” injury that appeared on media websites from Los Angeles to London, aired on television and arrived on fans’ Blackberrys and mobile phones.

The news release listed the injuries as “serious” because patients’ conditions are always classified that way if they are transported to a hospital, FHP spokesman Jorge Delahoz told the Orlando Sentinel.

The media frenzy the word “serious” ignited was “illustrative not only of Woods’ global fame, but of the rapidity with which the media can spread news whether it is entirely accurate or not,” said David Carter, executive director of USC’s Sports Business Institute.

Woods, of course, is the world’s No. 1 golfer. He has won 82 times worldwide and captured 14 major tournaments, and this year he also became the first athlete to reach the $1-billion mark in career earnings through prize money, endorsements and other income, Forbes magazine estimated.

Woods can make or break TV ratings simply by choosing to play in a tournament. He has a net worth of $600 million, according to Forbes.

While authorities “may characterize [the injuries] very technically,” today’s instant media communication “leads to banner headlines, which makes everybody wonder what the impact could be if, for any reason, he was to miss a series of tournaments,” Carter said.

In fact, the accident occurred leading to next week’s Chevron World Challenge, an 18-player tournament hosted by Woods at Sherwood Country Club in Thousand Oaks.

The four-day tournament starts Thursday, and Woods is scheduled to hold a news conference there Tuesday.

Wood missed last year’s tournament, which supports the Tiger Woods Foundation, because he was recovering from surgery on his left knee.

He was scheduled to rejoin the field this year, but Mark Steinberg, Woods’ agent, told the Associated Press on Friday that he did not know if Woods still planned to play.

Woods won six times this season. Although he did not win a major tournament, he said he considered the year successful because he wasn’t sure how his knee would respond after months of rehabilitation.

Why Golf Is Better Than Sex

As if the chlorine in drinking water wasn’t bad enough, now we’ve learned about drugs found in drinking water too. What else are we going to have to worry about?

The news reports and public health officials assure us that these drug traces are not health hazards. Yes, it is true; you don’t see people dying from those traces, but you also don’t see people dying from chlorine in drinking water. What’s worrying is the long-term effect that these chemicals have on cells in the body.

Natural health advocates have always maintained that chemical pollutants in our environment cause obesity, cancer, and various chronic health problems. Many of these chemicals act like hormones in the body, interfering with natural hormone production and increasing the risk of certain types of cancer.

One of the drugs found in drinking water is estradiol, a form of estrogen. It gets into the water supply through birth control pills. When women take them, some of the hormones are not metabolized by the body and pass through as waste. So, these hormones enter the sewage system and end up in wastewater treatment facilities where no steps are taken to remove it.

Environmentalists have been concerned about estrogen and other contaminants for many years, because of the effect it has on fish and wildlife. They argue that fish mutations in the Chesapeake Bay and the Mississippi River delta are caused by contaminants.

Regular people are often uninformed about today’s environmental issues; newspapers rarely publish environmental stories on the front page. But drugs found in drinking water make headlines all over the country. In one interview, an Italian researcher talked about the combined effect of chlorine in drinking water and drugs found in drinking water. Chemicals like these interact, increasing the toxicity of each. His wife was pregnant at the time of the interview. He said that they had agreed that she should only drink purified water, at least until after the baby was born.

In some of the studies that he had conducted, the combination of prescription medications caused interesting changes in cell cultures. They inhibited the growth of healthy cells and increased the growth of cancer cells.

Because of the chlorine in drinking water, we already have an increased cancer risk. This has been proven in a number of different studies. People that are not exposed to chlorination have a lower incidence of bladder and colorectal cancer. Luckily, we can protect ourselves from these risks. A home purification system is the solution.

Not all systems will remove the drugs found in drinking water. A dual stage system that specializes in chemical reduction is the most effective. Any carbon filter will remove the chlorine in drinking water, but other steps are needed to ensure your safety. Buy a system that thoroughly cleans your tap water. It’s worth it.

“Dear woman,” the voice of Grandmother Growth seems to float in the deepening twilight, echoing, reverberating, ringing in the ears. “Bring me your pain. Bring me your pain. Bring your pain to me. Bring your burdens. Bring all that you can no longer bear, can no longer bear, can no longer carry, can no longer bear, can no longer be responsible for. Give it to me. Put it on. Let us pass in council together and listen to the stories your pain tells. Menopause is a journey that requires you to travel light. Heavy things – bitterness, regret, vengeance, clinging to pain – will make your tiring journey you down. Take only the stories. Leave the rest behind. Burning pain in your hot flashes. Let it leave you. This is change. Let it change you, dear wife, let it change you. ”

Step 0: Do nothing

Dealing with fibromyalgia, women have less pain if they sleep in a dark room. If not possible, wear a sleep mask.

Step 1: Collect Information

Disorder in chronic pain I have called “all the ills on” when I wrote this article ten years ago, is now big news. Ninety percent of the 4 million Americans with this debilitating, frustrating condition – known as fibromyalgia – are white women, and many of them are postmenopausal.

Neither the cause nor cure for fibromyalgia is known. This is not a disease but a set of symptoms characterized by chronic widespread pain on both sides of the body, above and below the waist. (As one of my apprentices, said: “But I am not wrong in all these places at once. The pain moves. I never know where it will be next.”) Some women have a low fever in addition to pain. More than half of those who suffer from fibromyalgia also headaches, endometriosis, and / or irritable bowel syndrome.
The symptoms of fibromyalgia are quite variable, making diagnosis difficult. (Orthodox diagnosis is based on research of pain in trigger points). Fibromyalgia mimics aspects of multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, arthritis, hepatitis C, hypothyroidism, lupus, polymyalgia rheumatica, and early dementia. Many women with fibromyalgia, it is said, their distress is “all in your mind.”

It is not in your mind (alone). Menopause can leave the impression that you were beaten. Muscles respond to hormonal changes and feeling painful mood. Loss of sleep can make you pain. (Non-restorative sleep is a hallmark of fibromyalgia.) Lack of calcium (and other minerals) can make your bones pain. Whether you are facing these challenges, or the greater problem of fibromyalgia, why not give Wise Woman Ways a try? The remedies mentioned here have been remarkably successful in helping many women.

“People with fibromyalgia are not only sensitive to pain, but also find noises, strong smells, and aversion to light.” – Daniel Clauw, MD, director: chronic pain and fatigue Research Center, Georgetown University

Step 2: Engage the Energy

* Having a support group is one of the most important factors keeping fibromyalgia under control.
* Homeopathic Arnica is an amazing remedy for sore throat and muscle aches. Daily use of homeopathic Rhus Toxicodendron reduced pain by 25 percent in those with fibromyalgia.
* Make a list of things you have angina (anger, angry) about. Where do these things live in your body? With the help of an expert bodywork, loosen the scene. Women with fibromyalgia are very likely to be survivors of trauma (sexual assault or domestic violence, alcoholism).
* Return to your Mother. Floating in the ocean. Lie belly down on the earth. Naked. Let yourself ease. Let it heal you.
* Listen to a relaxation tape. Ask someone to show you how to do the yoga position called the “Corpse Pose”. Learn to put yourself in a deep state of mind calm and peaceful.
* Hypnotherapy can help you acquire a certain degree of mental control over their symptoms. Behavior of cognitive therapy is also useful.

Step 3: Nourish and Tonify

* The use of feed infusions, especially comfrey leaf and stinging nettle, instead of coffee, tea, soft drinks and is the only thing I know to effectively mitigate and overcome fibromyalgia.
* Gentle exercise – walking, yoga or tai chi practices – keeps muscles from weakening and increasingly painful. Experts suggest starting with as little as three minutes a day, and the gradual establishment of at least four sessions of five minutes each per day. Still, the reward is worth it.
* Regular consumption of yogurt also proves very useful for those who have fibromyalgia. Perhaps it is because yogurt to enhance the ability to feed and immunity, some suspect fibromyalgia is the result of a malfunction of the immune system.
* Magnesium is an essential nutrient for preventing pain in muscles and connective tissues. Legumes, whole grains, vegetables and feed the infusions – like nettle and Oatstraw – are the best sources.
* Moxibustion is also known as acupuncture without needles. Safe and easy to do at home by yourself, moxibustion gives fast relief from sore joints and aching muscles. It not only relieves pain but strengthens, the decrease in the future pain and gradually make a “cure”. You can buy a moxa “cigar” at a pharmacy or health food Oriental. Bring the glowing end of the moxa (after lighting it) near the painful area and move in small slow spirals until the heat becomes too intense. (This May take several minutes or more). Pain relief is usually immediate and often lasts for twelve hours or more.

Step 4: Stimulate / sedation

* Tinctures of willow bark or spirea (1-2 dropperfuls/1-2 ml is a dose) is strongly recommended that the green allies by women dealing with fibromyalgia.
* St. Joan’s wort tincture – not capsules, not the tea – is a powerful ally for women with fibromyalgia. He is one of the best muscle relaxants I have ever used. A 25-30 drop dose not only stops but also prevents muscle aches. I have used it as often as every twenty minutes (ten doses) when the occasion necessitated. St. Joan’s wort prevents pain when taken after exercise, and even better if taken before. I take a dose every hour while on an airplane to prevent muscle aches and jetlag.
* Regular massage from an experienced therapist stimulates the circulation of blood and energy, relieves pain, reduces fatigue and promotes rigidity. Avoid deep tissue massage, it increases the pain. The light and mild strokes Myofascial Release are most useful. Chiropractic manipulations are of little benefit.
* Massage with heated stones and other heat treatments work wonders for some women. For others, the treatments work better in cold (but not too cold, and not for too long, either, please).
* Ginger compresses, hot or cold, movement and encourage the mobilization of the body healing agents to act and to relieve your pain. I grate several ounces of fresh ginger into simmering water and cook gently for ten minutes, then soak a cloth in the liquid and use it as an application to the painful area.
* The National Institute of Health lists fibromyalgia as one of the few conditions that acupuncture can relieve.
* If an act of lying down to sleep the pain, slip into something relaxing: valerian, skullcap, or St. Joan’s wort tinctures, drops to a 1 ml of one, twice if necessary .

Step 5: Use Supplements

* A study has shown little interest from those who have fibromyalgia is taken SAM-e or 5-HTP (5-hydroxytryptophan – a precursor of serotonin). Do not use 5-HTP if you are taking St. Joan’s / John’s wort.
* Lack of sleep can rapidly aggravate the symptoms of fibromyalgia. (See Step 0.) Confused If you sleep, melatonin at bedtime, the lowest dose you can get help in May.

Step 5b: drug use

* Oil of lavender was recommended by several women who have dealt with fibromyalgia for many years. Dilute with olive oil or jojoba and use as a rub.
* Orthodox treatment of fibromyalgia relies heavily on drugs, primarily antispasmodics, antidepressants and muscle relaxants. But Celebrex, Vioxx, Valteran, amitriptyline (Elavil), fluoxetine (Prozac), vanlafaxine (Effecor), trazadone (Desyrel), alprazolam (Xanax) and cyclobenzaprine (Flexeril) can affect the liver and disrupt the system immune.
* Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as ibuprofen do not reduce fibromyalgia pain for most women.
* Tramadol (Ultram) is a drug that addresses both the modification of brain chemicals and the signals from the pain of those who have fibromyalgia.

Step 6: Break and Enter

* Beware of invasive diagnostic tests. Many women say sustainable endless series of tests to put a name to their pain, without success and at the cost of physical, mental and moral.
* The injection of lidocaine, a drug that temporarily numbs nerves, are effective in relieving fibromyalgia pain for some women. Injections of capsaicin (cayenne) relieve pain by destroying nerve endings.

My ex wife has a court date on 6/4 for probation violation for a o v i .She has been drinking worse than when she was caught and has stayed with six different people since it happend she does not see the kids or call them .When she found out that she had a court date she went into rehab to dry up for court. This is her fourth time in rehab in twelve months ,every time she gets in trouble she goes in to look like she is trying to sober up but it is all a show . She recieved her o v i in Morrow county and lives in Cuyahoga. She has never been tested for alcohol the year that she has been on on probation and has a year left . Does anyone know what i can do to get the court to start testing her ? She has no fear of getting caught . When she was caught she had my daughter and niece in her van and blew a 3.1but got off on the child endangering charge. I would like to see her get help so my children can have a relationship with her again even if it means her going to jail to dry up.

If you have tinnitus (ringing ears), like I do, my experience tells me that you likely have a great deal of difficulty with relationships. Why? Because not only does the tinnitus drive you crazy, it can also make feel very much alone. You feel isolated because it often feels like no one can understand your suffering.

The doctors don’t really seem to understand. Your friends and co-workers don’t understand. And, most importantly it seems like your family doesn’t understand. You feel like no one can possibly understand and therefore you tend to lash out at the people closest to you.

You need to be aware that the ones you love are equally suffering right along side of you. You need to know that they feel just as helpless as you do because they know there is nothing they can do. They want to save you from your private torture chamber, but they can’t. All they can really do is hold the space while you try and figure out your next course of action.

And so, you are faced with a choice. You can continue on your present course and hope for a different result. That’s what many people do. The do the same things day after day and always get the same result. Or, you can actually begin to learn what works in reducing your tinnitus volume. In order for me to share what I have learned after 7 years with tinnitus, I need to tell you a little bit about my story.

I had been happily married for 8 years before I got tinnitus. When I did get the Tinnitus it almost drove my wife and I to divorce. My marriage was not simply strong enough to withstand that kind of pressure. The reason for this was that our marriage, at that time, was based mostly around romantic love. This kind of love cannot withstand serious challenges because romantic love is like a drug. Your body produces chemicals that make you to feel euphoric, energetic and great. It’s the equivalent to experiencing a natural high. But, when that drug wears off; everything bad that you felt before you took the drug returns.

So, along with my tinnitus came an opportunity to learn what real love is. And, as I gained more knowledge, our love grew into something much deeper than romantic love. It grew into a spiritual partnership. Gary Zukav (author of Seat of the Soul) defines Spiritual Partnership as “a partnership between equals for the purpose of spiritual growth”.

Unfortunately many people are addicted to romantic love. They continue to seek it with no understanding that they are addicted to an illusion. When you fall out of romantic love you think love is gone, but it’s really only the illusion that is gone. In order for any relationship to evolve beyond romantic love, both partners must evolve as human beings.

For my wife Nancy and I, Tinnitus was a beacon in our life experience to help us work towards that evolution. As we evolved as human beings, we evolved in our partnership. And, as I learned more about spiritual partnerships, the more I was able to heal the emotional, spiritual, mental parts of myself. Then my physical world, including the world of tinnitus, began to change. It was an awakening of sorts. You can learn to do this by becoming aware of your thought processes, your internal dialogue, your physical habits and your emotions. Awareness is the key.

As our marriage got stronger, my tinnitus diminished. We discovered a deeper sense of identity, a greater feeling of spiritual connectedness and purpose and a renewed commitment to both our personal growth and to service. With that said, in order for your relationship to evolve, both partners must be willing partners and commit to their own personal evolution for the partnership to grow. Remember, it takes equal partners.

You can actually choose to allow tinnitus to remind you that you need to get beyond where you are at now and align yourself with a higher purpose. You are now being compelled, by force, to find your greater self and to heal yourself. And once you do, you will notice a greater quality of life all around you. Your relationships will change, your marriage will get stronger, your kids will be drawn closer to you, and everything and everyone around you will change for the better. It all starts with the realization that tinnitus is here as a beacon in your life for you to learn to be a happier person, a better spouse and a true friend to all those you encounter.

some people have said that she has died but ive looked in the deaths columns and her family has not heard from her either well my question is how can i find out?

So, My living girlfriend and I, we called if off last new year’s eve, mainly of her controllable habit of boozing. We parted in somewhat bad term after a major fight(verbal war). We were together for 2 yrs, the first year was heaven!I knew of her drinking habit before we live together!I had asked to quit, because it causes us great problems when she’s drunk….Like any other couples out there, we had our share of ups and downs in our relationship..

One summer night, the weather was hot and dry, we decided to go out clubbing, so that she can have her time to chill with her friends. During our time there, I let her drink and have a time of her life, what a mistake?….After a couple of hours, we called a night!We got home and she shows her true self again, I wasn’t surprised!but I was just abit irritated of her actions toward me…the usual, we got into a big argument….She even suggested we should break up?So, I said it’s up to you. I know it was my fault!I didn’t mean to say that, but in the heat of the moment those words somehow slipped out of my mouth….She said fine why don’t you get the bleep out of my life? I said okie dokie bunny! She got mad and threw a bootle of her booze at me and left.,,,That was last new year’s eve!We have not contacted each other ever since…

Today, out the blue, she called me!We talked….I asked her how is she doing and shite? She said everything is fine..Blah..Blah…I asked her how’s the booze treating her? She said she quit them booze right after we broke up and hav not touched them since…She also shown her interest of us back together, citing she misses me???
She said since the day she walked out on me, she has been single all that time? No dates, nothing…She cried during our conversation!

I must admit I love her still!

So people: should I give us a chance???

I have a little doubt about what she said she has no intimacies ever after she left me…Is it believable about no other men have touched her? I raise this Q to you guys, because I never had any kind of sexual relations with exes after they left…I mean I feel kind of weird to have sex with exes when they left and have sex with other men, then come back and want to have sex with me..I have not done that my entire life.

Should I or should I not?

Thank you and your answers and inputs are greatly appreciated!

Are you frustrated with the amount of information around about the right way to detox? It seems the world and his wife know best, and while many are good, the majority fail to realize the secret of a successful detoxification program.

Simply put, it’s all down to the quality of the water you drink. If the quality is bad then everything else you do will not have the desired effect.

Pure water is the cornerstone of any successful plan, so what good can it do to consume water that is full of the very toxins you are trying to get rid of! Recent studies have shown that there are literally thousands of toxic chemicals in our supplies.

These include chlorine, lead, prescription drugs and many more with the modern problem of pharmaceuticals proving impossible for the municipal treatment plants to remove. If you drink chlorinated water for example, you have a 93% higher chance of getting cancer.

So the right way to detox is to make sure, whichever plan you choose, to only drink pure filtered water. This will enhance the liver and kidney functions in eliminating the toxins faster and more effectively, as well as helping you to maintain optimum health in general.

Forget bottled water as this has little regulation and many of the same toxins are present in it as in tap water, and the chemicals from the plastic packaging can affect the quality as well.

Experts agree that home filtration is the answer but avoid the reverse osmosis products as they are expensive and remove essential minerals like magnesium and calcium which we require for good health.

 Always bear in mind not to drink too much water as this can lead to health issues, the recommended amount being eight glasses a day. Just find the balance that you feel most comfortable with.

A multi-stage carbon block filter is the most effective way forward when combined with ion exchange and a submicron filter to effectively remove 99% of all the toxins present, resulting in the purest water possible and the foundation for the right way to detox.

Denial, they say, is “not just a river in Egypt”. Denial is a strange beast. It is on the cycle of change (or, rather, just off it), as ‘pre-contemplation’. That time when you are not thinking about change because you don’t need to. You are a ‘happy user’. Other people are starting to suggest that you have a problem. Then denial raises it’s ugly head and starts to show its various features:-

1. Avoidance

Avoidance is saying “I don’t think about it. I don’t talk about it. Whenever the small inner voice starts it’s prompting, I submerge it, drowned under more drink, more sex, or with any other distraction.
Avoidance is not going there, saying, “What I don’t know can’t hurt me”".

2. What Problem?

When suggesting that an addict might have a problem, brings out a show of more needles than you would see on a cornered porcupine, you know you’ve pressed a button. The response is a puffed up “What problem? I don’t have a problem.”

He may feel that his righteous indignation has won the day. He has managed to fend off another attack on his character, but the still small voice inside starts to niggle his conscience again.
 
3. Minimising

When you cannot convince yourself that you are not in denial, then it’s best to minimise the problem. You may say, “It’s not that bad, it’s such a small thing. It was a problem last month but now I’ve got control of it. If I put my mind to it, I can stop whenever I want to.”

4. Rationalising
 

Rationalisation is providing a good reason rather than the true reason. But not all rationalisations are good reasons. Some are a real stretch of the imagination, but they are made to sound rational.

“If I can explain the causes of it, I won’t need to sort out the problem. When I get down to the root cause, it will be alright. It’s due to the stress I’m under at work, and that’s putting pressure on the marriage. It’s how my personality is, It’s the way I deal with stress – I can live with it.”

5. Blaming (Projection)

“It’s not my fault. If you had been what I have been through, then you would drink. How can I take responsibility for my drinking when it’s not my fault.” Or, “If you had my wife then you would drink too. I am not an alcoholic, she makes me drink.”

6. Comparing
 
“There are plenty of people with a far more serious problem than me. For example, there’s so and so who’s marriage has just broken up. Compared to him, I don’t have a problem. I don’t need to get help.”

7. Manipulating

“If other people want to help me, that’s their business. I’ll just let them do it. If it fails, it’s not my responsibility. I can blame them. They are the one’s who will feel bad. If anybody else wants me to change when I am not ready, my subsequent lapse will be their fault.”

8. Feeling Better

This happens during the first or second week of treatment. Ten days without the symptoms of the problem. Like a revelation it comes. “I’m cured. I don’t need this treatment. I’ve never felt better in my life. All the drugs are behind me.”

9. Compensation

“I cannot be acting or behaving the way you say because I always act the opposite”.

10. Justification

“I did it because it was the right thing to do at the time. I didn’t think it would lead to anything”.

Extended denial can affect a person physically, mentally and spiritually. It can lead to a state of hopelessness. Hopelessness is itself, another aspect of denial. It denies that we have the ability to change. It means that there is no point in carrying on. It is not even worth anybody trying to help us it would be a waste of their time.

When addicts are in denial, they are not liars. They believe that they are not dependent on chemicals. They are actually unaware of their dependency.

Knowing that you have a problem, does not automatically make bad news into good news. It takes a while for it to sink in. Acceptance does not come easy. It is considered that Denial is, paradoxically, part of the process of recovery. For some, the road to recovery means getting to a place of brokenness, and Denial is often the first step.

for meth. Her dealer admitted to me that he has them and asked “what am I going to do about it?” I have reported them to police and told them he has them. They won’t and haven’t done crap. I don’t want someone killed with my guns and then they come looking for me. What can I do? Any suggestions?

My wife and I are arguing about whether or not insurance companies will refuse to cover drugs administered in a doctor’s office if you do not have prescription coverage. She says that prescriptions and drugs given by a doctor (e.g. anesthetics, steroids, etc.) are two separate things and insurance companies could not refuse to cover the latter based on lack of coverage for the former. I say that insurance companies will do anything to make a buck even if it defies rational explanation. Does anyone know which of us is correct?

Don throws up all over himself.

‘Oh, no… Now my wife will kill me!’

Bob says, ‘Don’t worry, pal. Just tuck a twenty in your breast pocket and

Tell your wife that someone threw up on you and gave you twenty dollars

for the dry cleaning bill.’

So they stay for another couple of hours and get even drunker.

Eventually Don stumbles home and his wife starts to give him a bad time. ‘You

Reek of alcohol and you’ve puked all over yourself! My God, you’re disgusting!’

Speaking very carefully so as not to slur his words, Don says, ‘Nowainaminit, I

His wife looks in the breast pocket and says, ‘But this is forty bucks..’

‘Oh, yeah… I almos’ fergot, he shhhit in my pants, too.’

When discussing his relationship with his wife, Amber, Travis says, “I have this very strong sense of commitment and tranquility.” Researchers have suggested that the neurophysiological basis of this feeling may be due to brain chemicals related to
