JERUSALEM—As an uneasy truce between Israel and Hezbollah continues, millions of average men and women in the Holy Land are turning to the one simple comfort that has always seen them through the darkest days of their troubled history: the steadfast guidance of their religious faith.

“I take solace in knowing that my faith is a sanctuary, an escape from the bloodshed and turmoil,” said Haifa resident Yigal Taheri, who last week lost his wife and newborn daughter

am i missing something? is religion insanity i.e. doing the same thing over and over expecting different results?

he has not made my wife and i life very pleasant, overdosed 3 times, had to give him mouth to mouth once for 20 minutes till ambulance came, has been to rehab a couple times, goes to counseling on saturdays, stopped several times. said tonight he has no plans of quitting and doesn’t do as much now. i’ve had enough, what to do
he makes 46,000 last year, is 24, only gives me 100 bucks a week. he made more money than i did last year. i am getting older and apreciate his help with things, but he really doesn’t do much for me, an only child. he started when 18 and i had no idea, should have kicked him out then, i guess. i wasn’t the best example, bad alcoholic and pot smoker, never did heroin though. the alcohol almost killed me and i drink very little to none now for 10 years or more and never to exess
He has been on suboxone for at least 2 yrs. pays for it himself & counseling also. stops the suboxone when he wants to use. he spent 30 days in a good rehab, got out, went to a few meetings and quit going. He is in group counseling now and it’s not helping whatsoever. our life has been a nightmare for the past 5 yrs. Thanks for your answers.

Kmart sold a rifle to William, who was a heavy drug user and was under indictment for a felony. Federal law prohibits the sale of firearms to such persons. Kmart was supposed to question potential customers about drug use or felony indictments but failed to do so. William’s brother, a heroin addict, took the rifle while using drugs and attacked his wife and a police officer. Can the police officer sue Kmart? For what and why?

I injured my back 2+ yrs ago and have been addicted to Vicodin since. It slowly got worse and I would always say to myself, “It’s because I’m in pain” or “I have it under control and I can stop anytime,” in reality I knew I had a problem I just couldn’t admit it. So now I’m up to 7-10 7.5/750mg pills a day. I wish my doctor would have never given me these damn things all they did was ruin my life. My marriage is in shambles, I went from making $60k a year to making $35k a year, I sold my sport bike to buy more vicodin, I almost lost my house, I see three different doctors to get multiple prescriptions, I subscribe to 5 online pharmacies websites spending $1200/month on pills. I told my wife I quit taking them but I hide them in the garage, when I walk the dog, I sneak in to pop a few pills. I would like advice on the withdrawl symptoms I’m soon facing and how to kick the aweful craving. I just want to cry out because this drug has ruined my life. I’ve even asked God for help.

In the book it says that Keetah comes back to the village, but when i was doing a little more research it says that a man and his soon to be wife leave the village and go to vancouver. It also says that she becomes a prostitute and dies of a heroin overdose. HELP I’M CONFUSED!!!!!!!

I’ve always told my husband everything and I never had the need to hide anything from him until recently when two events happened and he ended up telling his friends about it.

My mom overdosed on prescription drugs and she was admitted to the hospital. She is not a drug addict, she’s an old lady who doesn’t read labels. Anyways. I told my husband to keep this under wraps because people might interpret it the wrong way, and guess what? One of his friends comes up to me and asks me how my mom is doing. I was furious with my husband. After I specifically told him not to tell anyone about this, he went and told people I barely knew.
I don’t care that he talks, what got to me is that he would talk about something I really wanted to keep between us.

Another scenario happened which I wont go into details, and I told him not to say anything only because I want family affairs to remain private. Guess what? Another one of his friends comes up to me and tells me he is sorry that event happened. It was nothing shameful, nothing to hide. Its something I didn’t want anyone knowing because family affairs are meant to stay within the family.

I am sick and tired of him running his mouth after I specifically told him not to say anything.
I would hate to start hiding stuff from him because he can’t keep his mouth shut.

What bugs me the most is that his brother divorced his wife because she cheated on him. He told me to keep that under wraps and not say anything. I haven’t said a single word to anyone because I want him to know he can tell me anything.

How is it fair that he wants things to remain private when it comes to his own family, yet has no respect for me or my family when it comes to keep family affairs private.

Please help me. What do you think I should do

My brother in law is battling a heroin addiction. He voluntarily spent 30 days in rehab but relapsed as soon as he came out. Is there any way my wife or her family can get him court ordered rehab in massachusetts even though he is 23? we have heard of a section 12 or 13 order but cant seem to find info on it. please help as we don’t think at the rate he is going he will reach 24. If no such thing exist in Massachusetts what about Florida as my wife and I live in Florida so we may be able to get him down here if such a law exist in Florida.

Im about to put this lie to rest because im sick of hearing it. Ayers was born in 1944. In the 1960′s he was into the wild and radical activities. In the 1970s he was a fugitive running from the FBI. Obama is only 47. So you do the math. When Ayers was actually into these radical activities Obama was only a child and early teenager. Obama didnt even know this man back then. Today Ayers is a professor of education and a Senior University Scholar at the University of Illinois. He is a graduate of the University of Michigan, the Bank Street College of Education, and Teachers College, Columbia University. Bill Ayers, the university professor and brilliant author is no longer a bomber or radical. That was decades ago. Like I said Obama was a child. Ayers has articles that have appeared in Harvard Educational Review and many more. Please see the links for details. Now In the mid-1990s, Ayers and his wife held meetings at their Chicago home to introduce Barack Obama to their neighbors during his first run for the Illinois Senate. So Obama is actually connected to a brilliant man. The 1990′s is when Ayers wrote all those brilliant articles and books.

Ayers used to be a radical 40 years ago. Cindy McCain used to be a drug addict addicted to pain pills. She was investigated federally for stealing pain pills from a medical charity she headed and for having prescriptions filled in the names of the charity’s employees. She admitted it. But is she now? No she is not. She is a women with a family and the wife of a senator. Some people have a negative history that change for the better.

Mc Cain and Palin need to tell truth. Obama didnt even know that man during his radical times. That Maveric and Joe-6 pack Palin need to come up with something else. They have 4 weeks to do it.

My ex-wife Penelope is a sturdy, thick-set, no nonsense woman who left me due to a gambling and heroin addiction, both of which i have mostly recovered from.

I have now become aware that she may be polluting the minds of our two children, telling them both that i am no good, i’m a womaniser and racist, and an abuser of women and children, (all of which is mostly untrue).

How do i convince them their mother is lying to them? Both my children are 43 years old.

But i can’t seem to find it under this title anywhere. Perry and I think his then girlfriend/wife were the lead characters in the film. She od’s from heroin, and he doesn’t call the cops right away. He dresses her in nice clothes first and thinks back on their time together. Do you know the title to this movie and where one might find it?

ok I have been married for a year and a half, my wife that is 23, has had a pill addiction for about a yr of it that I know about, she went to a counselor/ group meetings for it on her own free will, she stopped the prescription medicine she was taking so much of, but like most addicts (including myself) she started drinking to make up for not taking the pills anymore. long story short, she was kicked out of “rehab” (for the lack of a better way to put it) cause she was showing up smelling like vodka and they wanted her to start AA meetings and she refused saying she don’t have a drinking problem. so now she is up to a bottle a day more or less and popping any pills she can get her hands on; Tylenol PM advil, our 18Month old sons prescriptions,
ETC… I have tried to sit down with her and discuss my concerns, but all that happens is she gets instantly mad and screams she don’t do this stuff and she don’t have a problem and now she try’s to hide all of this. This isn’t just me seeing the problems cause she has been caught trying to steal one of the neighbors meds (take a few out of her bottle when she isn’t looking type of thing, but the owner of them didn’t trust my wife cause she could see through her lies and stuff, and had counted them) I have found empty vodka bottles under the seat of my car and in the garbage cans. I don’t drink and we are the only two that could put them in the garbage…..

I really do love her and don’t want to see her kill herself or allow this addiction to break us up, but at the same time I can’t have our young son around this either. I am permanently disabled so I barely have an income to support myself not counting a child too, but I am the only one that takes care of him and his daily activity’s (diaper changes, baths, meals, Dr visits, ETC…) and her paycheck is going to buying over the counter drugs and alcohol and who know what else, cause the bills are not getting paid now cause of this.

I need advice and would be very grateful for any constructive help that I can get….

a desperate husband and toddler

My boss went out of town and asked me to take his wife out to dinner – just good company, friends, etc.

The problem is when we got home… there was this awkward chemistry between us – I thought we might even hook up. She went to fix us drinks, I went to the bathroom to urinate… that’s when the problem started.

She found my heroin in my pocket (madman stuff, from the Hartz Mountains of Germany) and mistakenly thought it was cocaine. So she snorted it up her nose and immediately blacked out – death was almost certain.

I took her to my friend Lance’s house and ended up giving her a shot of adrenaline directly to her heart which, luckily, caused her to wake up and snap out of it.

Anyway, everything is back to normal now, but do you think I should tell my boss what happened?

O.K. my sister has abandoned her family, including 3 kids, and only speaks to my dad because he gives her money. I am certain she is doing drugs. She is not a kid, 35, and used to be just fine; great mom, wife, sister, daughter. I just found out that she stole prescription medication, and money from my parents house. I’m looking for some website or group to show my dad that giving her money and bailing her out of her problems is not helping her, but actually hurting her in the long run. She needs help, but not the help my dad is giving her. Maybe I am wrong, but I truly believe handing money to someone on drugs for “groceries” or what not is not the best idea.

My son has been having reoccuring bleeding from the nose at night and sometimes in the day. Me and my wife have rarely bleed from nose so i know it can’t be passed down. But in the other hand our “babysitter” has been having the same, bloody noses and i have found lots of q-tips in the bathroom trash can full of her blood. One time i caught her with q-tip up her nose and said “my nose was bleeding , and i don’t know why”. This raised red flag in my head but what is also bodering me is that almost everytime we make contact with her she always has the “sniffles” like whipping her runny nose on her hand and if she really sniffs drugs this will make contact with my son. This is why i think that my son has a reoccuring bloody nose. In fact i know for sure she is a heroin user back in her old days, but once a user always a user. there is much more i want to say but please can anyone help me? im thinking of drug test, but how can you when the babysitter is mother-in-law? i know you are saying “this is your son you are talking about” but what if i’am wrong i would feel bad. But what if i’m right? I’ll send her to jail or rehab program. and never let her touch my baby again untill i know she is fully CLEAN! I NEED ANSWERS!

One year ago to day my son OD ed on prescription drugs. He was put on life support and were told he would not live, if my some chance he did he would have severe brain damage. My the Grace of God he lived and had no brain damage. But he has had many slips and taken drugs. To me it is like a slap in the face that use. again. He is so different, always depressed, always blaming everyone else for the problems in his life, and paranoid about family relationships. He is 35 married with two kids. His wife is Bi polar and also and addict. I know he is a grown man , but a mom is always a mom. He has become so self centered. It seems he has taken on his wife’s Bi Polar behavior. Is there any thing that can be done to help him, to help me prepare, for his death, or what ever else happens to him. The worry has taken over my life.

Thanks

See they are both addicts. My brother an alcoholic my mother to prescription medications. They have both hurt me emotionally time after time. I have worked hard in my life to overcome my past. I was a teenage mom who finally earned her Master’s degree in Sp. Education. I have 3 daughters who I am trying to provide a good safe home. We had to commit my brothers wife for drugs. She had several car accidents last month with her 11 month old daughter, my niece. Her aunt and my mother have came after me with words. They say I am holier than thou and that I think I am better than everyone else. I just tried to save my sister in laws life along with her daughters. My mother constantly bashes me to other people. I can’t be around this kind of negativity any longer. I had to tell her to stay away from me and my family husband and daughters. Was I wrong There is so much more she used to leave me for days when I was a kid. She told me she was going to kill herself.

Ok here it is my wife’s mom and dad have been in and out of prison there whole life for drugs and ive been with her for twelve years and every time they get out they sing the same song “im going to change”and they never do. And every time they go back its never there fault.well her sister just got married to this gangster who’s been in prison nine times and has been known to do heroin. Ive never meet him because ive told them to stay away.and the last time him and her got into a fight she went to her sons dad house and her husband took a friend to their house kicked down the door with guns and took her and she never called the cops.well he just got out of prison and i have three kids so ive told all of them to stay away and don’t come over. well my wife is sad because she says that’s her only family and i shouldn’t be so hard on them and of course her side of the family says im trying to control her. well i know their never going to change and i don’t want her sister to get in a fight with him and her come to my house because ill have to shoot him.so am i being to hard on her by telling them never to call or come visit or does she just need to cut them off forever.its hard for me to judge because my familys not like that.

My wife and I got divorced when our daughter was 5, but my daughter and I always had a close bond despite not living under the same roof. When she turned 18, she left home and moved in with me. I must admit that I am far from the perfect father. I’m a notorious womanizer (I fathered 3 children out of wedlock) with an inability to stay committed, a binge drinker, a drug abuser, a bit of a pervert, and I’m addicted to porn.
Through my friend, who is a casting agent, I found her a job as a showgirl/model. The two of them soon started a friends with benefits relationship and the 3 of us often party together and I have to admit that I made inappropriate physical contact with her while intoxicated.

Recently I caught my daughter using ecstasy and several other prescription drugs. What I confronted her, she ran away from home. Am I to blame? What should I do?

I have a 7 year old daughter who I was sharing custody of with her father (my ex husband) up until 12-3 of this year.

due to an incident where my daughter reported that my ex hit her, I had to file a CPS case against him and take full custody of her. My daughter has also been reporting to me that her dad is constantly sleeping all day long on the weekends he has her and sometimes during the weekdays when he keeps her home from school b/c he’s too “sick” to drive her there. she states he sleeps all day and she has to get her own meals/entertain herself.

-I do know that for months now, my ex has been up to all hours of the night (he’ll try to call or text me during odd hours like midnight,2am,4am,etc when he has our child even) and then sleeps all day.
-he has recently been requiring others to pick our daughter up from school b/c he is too “sick” or has had to take his soma and can’t drive (this has happened frequently and he has even asked my first ex’s new wife to pick our daughter up from gymnastics and keep her for several hours b/c he couldn’t drive to come get her after needing to take a soma).

I’m just wondering if any of these are signs of addiction:

-insomnia (he’s up all night)
-wanting to sleep all day long, often not remembering what happens when woken up)
-severe short term memory loss (my ex has to be told things 4-5 times and sometimes, still forgets them even after this many reminders)

am I right in thinking he’s addicted? he’s admitted to having a prescription for 350mg pills that he can take whenever he “needs” them….
now that you mention it Frankie, he DOES take xanax and seroquel, and ativan-i’ve seen the bottles lying on his table in the past so maybe these pills are what he is in fact addicted to-thanks for the input!!
