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.

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!

EF=Emotional Friend, ~21, female, platonic.

Wife=Never texts me, except grocery lists.

so my sisters husband is a major drug addict. they got married a year ago and had a baby. he says he stopped using since the baby was born ( which was two weeks ago) but i dont believe it. yesterday i was looking at his hand and noticed that it was all blown up and red. he said it was because he missed a vein when he shot up heroin ( which he claimed was two weeks ago) and i was wondering how long the swelling lasts after someone injects opiuts and misses a vein, i think hes lying. i believe he used drugs this past week because i dont think swelling lasts that long. does any one know? because his wife needs to know the truth!

I am Lonewaddy’s wife.. It tears me apart to think of kicking him out, even though he can most certainly afford his own place. My fear is that if he overdoses, there will be no one there to help him. This happened to his friend in Sept. He (the friend) lived w/his girlfriend, was home alone, overdosed and died. He was 23. It was the most horrible/saddest funeral I’ve ever been to. Our son would have died 2 1/2 yrs. ago if we had not been here to help him. also 2 other times. Our lives are a living nightmare because of heroin. I often think of calling the police, but not sure jail is the safest place for him either.
He went to a good rehab for 30 days, got out and went to a few meetings, then stopped. Has been on suboxone for a long time and goes to group therapy/counseling every week. He pays for this himself. He will stop using for a few months, then go right back to it. It has become an all too familiar pattern.

I had a friend who worked in NBC (Nuclear Biological and Chemical) MOS (Military Occupational Speciality) whose job, at the end of the deployment, was to pack the shipping containers with unused NBC suits and masks, for shipping back to Germany. He told me he was approached by an Iraqi Turk who offered him 10,000 Euro to sneak one brick of heroin into the container. When he unloaded it in Germany, all he had to do was deliver the brick to an address in Frankfurt. My friend agreed because he said since the man was Turkish he was a sworn enemy of the terrorist Sunni factions, so the money would not go to the terror effort.

And before you judge him, know that his wife was pregnant while he was in Iraq, and that 10000 Euros, when you adjust for currency exchange rates, is much more than $10,000. How can anyone look down on him? This presidency used the blood of young boys to enrich themselves with oil. All he did was chisel a little piece of the pie, you know?
I’m getting a lot of negative feedback, when all I wanted was an answer. The Turkish Iraqis, like the Christian Iraqis, are a minority, who hate the terrorists. This was a transaction between two men; none of the proceeds would be funneled to Al Qaeda.

My family seems to be going nuts lately, not only is sister issues but yesterday my freshly divorced brother with kids, calls me up after not hearing from him for about 2 months. Starts conversation with don’t tell anyone! He told me he has been snorting heroin and went through three days of withdrawal trying to quit. I was devastated but happy he had stopped. I get a call last night that says I am so sorry but I had to do it again, I can’t handle it. His wife and me knew each other before they were married and she has no idea! (heck no one did) I just thought he was taking a time out and acting wild, going out every night and drinking and stuff due to divorce. I keep ending up with these moral questions of do not tell. I ask him to go to rehab, he says he can’t risk ex wife finding out. Cause he is afraid she won’t let him around the kids. Yet I am thinking does he need to be around the kids anyway with this problem. I really don’t know a lot about this addiction. Or for that matter anyone who has been through this. Can anyone shed light on this for me. If I keep the secret am I enabling him? If I tell I am afraid he has no one to go to for help. It makes sense now why he owes everybody money including me. His ex wife is tough and do you think I should just keep my mouth shut and let her find out for herself? Wow this is gut wrenching.

what is the name???

Actually I just want to know the main actors name..

A wife has a husband who died…and her husbands friend from youth comes and lives in her spare room…He is a recovering heroin addict..

yes he used to do heroin but oh that doesn’t matter….but if mccain’s wife does drugs that’s like a huuugggeeee issue right?? his wife isn’t going to be the one making decisions!!!
ummm im pretty sure it wasn’t a lie…and why does it matter which one it was (coke or crack)…they’re both drugs and if mccain did that, everyone would be saying “we shouldn’t elect someone who did drugs”…but no one says that about obama..

I am 32 year old recovering heroin addict and a father of a 7 year old son. I have struggled with heroin addiction since I was 15 years old, I divorced from my ex-wife back in ’05. I have been clean for 3 months now. My wife ended up getting full custody of our son when we divorced because of my addiction.
I am trying to straighten up my life. I attend narcotics anonymous every single day. I haven’t missed a day for 3 months. Would it be unreasonable to ask for visitation with my son? I just want to see my son, I love him more than anything on Earth, and I want to be there for him. How could I go about petitioning for custody, because my wife will not let me see him at all because she said ” I am not a father to him anymore”.
I pay $350.00 a month in child support.

My roommate’s son is a heroin addict, a wife and child abuser and a convicted criminal. He recently got out of jail for doing time for armed robbery and assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill. We called his PO when we found out that he was doing heroin (AGAIN), and they’re going to test him when he goes in. I think he may know he’s getting tested because magically, three weeks before his PO meeting (for some reason it’s only once a month, I don’t get it), he ‘quits’. A day after his meeting he’s wasted again. If he ‘quits’ now, and his meeting is 5 days away, will it still show up in his urine test?

Heroin is my wife.

My wife and I are weighing in on whether to adopt from this birthmother.. We’ve been through infertility treatments for 2 and half years. This is a tough decision.. We are aware of the potential for low birthweight and addiction..

I’m writing a play and my main character’s wife dies from an overdose.

i was wondering, when a person is hooked on heroin is it possible for that person to love anyone else? do they care about their family? wife kids? or does the drug leave them emotionless?i’m very confussed and heartbroken, i don’t know what to think. and if the person has been doing heroin for about 10 yrs what are the chances that they quit?

My daughter have reached that age where everything seems awkward and I’m fully aware of that because I’ve once been a teenager too. I know everything seems to become a bit confusing for her but I was deeply disappointed when I found out that she was on heroin most of the time. It breaks my heart to see her every time she goes home stoned and wasted. It even came to a point that my wife and I questioned ourselves if we did something wrong to her as she was growing up. We really want to help her to be clean again. But what makes this all difficult is the fact that she is not aware that we know she’s already a junkie. It’s difficult to start a serious talk with her. Can anyone here give any suggestions on how we can help our beloved daughter? We would gladly appreciate your suggestions.

is it better to hold on to each other and help each other or to get divorced and meet new sober life partners? we love each other and been married for 3 years, no kids… she seems to want the divorce coz she feels we will always relapse together… what do you think?
