My boyfriends mum is a drug addict/dealer, and is going to jail – should i stay with him?
Dec 1st
Question by LilLoca: My boyfriends mum is a drug addict/dealer, and is going to jail – should i stay with him?
I have known him since May 2004, and we have been together since November 2005 (so quite a while). I have known for a while that his mum had a drug habit. I was told that before i met him she was addicted to heroin, but now she was over the habit and was just a pot smoker. When i was at his house, there were people always there in her room, who he said were people after drugs. Slowly over time he told me that it seemed like she was into speed now (her lesbian lover died 2 years so it’s possible she started back on the speed because of the heartbreak).
A couple days ago she got arrested and now she’s facing a year or more in jail (advice from solicitor), and its turned out she lied to my bf and was arrested before (but let go), and is now addicted on heroin again.
He’s told me so many stories about her – apparently she did heroin when she was pregnant with him (his dad is a “junkie” too, but left before he was born). When he was a kid she would leave him days on end to go “do drugs” – he was around 9 fyi. She also traded in their tv and his games for money to fund her drug habit. When he started working after he finished school she apparently a couple times took his bankcard in the middle of the night and stole up to 600 dollars each time and never returned it. Since i’ve met him, once a week without fail she asks him for money (she doesnt work – is on a disability pension because she’s “sick”). I really dont see any sickness in her, she’s fine and can walk around everything, but im not a doctor so i wont judge her for that. So ok, she doesnt work, gets a pension + rent assitance (which totals to about 550/fortnight maybe more), he pays all the bills, the rent (220/week), the food in the house – yet she STILL asks him for money. I dont even know for what!! She lives in squallor!! Her room is tiny, she only stays in there with her “friends”. All i can think of is she spends it on her drug habit which INFURIATES ME!! She just uses him and because he’s soft he always gives into it everytime – he’ll shout at her, but then eventually gives in and gives her money. This is in the field of 200 a week (he payed her 400 for a mobile phone the other week because she was “broke” and she promised to pay him back – she hasnt).
The reason all this angers me (and i know i guess its not my business), is just the fact that this woman her entire life has amounted to nothing. She brings down her son EVERYTIME. I hate listening to all this from him because everytime i try to tell her off to him he defends her and calls me a bitch. I know she is his mum, but how can he not see what she is! We want to move out, eventually buy a house, marry and have kids. I want to travel, and i know he does as well, but every week when we go out he’s telling me he’s struggling for cash. When i ask him to lend me 20 dollars (im a uni student, so im struggling for cash atm), he tells ME off!! It’s so frustrating, i feel like his dysfunctional relationship with his mum is making him distrust me.
She’s going to jail ffs, and he still thinks she has hope. She came home from the court house today and already there were people at the door waiting for drugs saying “your mum called saying to meet her here”. It’s like hello! She’s not going to change, she’s a lost cause.
Am i right to feel like this? Is it right that im angry at her and even him for putting up with her? Is it my business? And should i even stay with him if he’s going to support her? I can’t support a drug addict/dealer. It’s just too much!

Friend going through a drug addiction, what should I do?
Oct 1st
Question by Gotti: Friend going through a drug addiction, what should I do?
Okay, first I have a question that needs answered. If my friend were to unsuccesfuly try to commit suicide under the influence of drugs, would they know? And would they send him to rehab or would that be his choice? Also, what are some other choices besides rehabilitation centers to help get over a drug addiction? If you have any additional information, it would be very much appreciated. Thankyou

Answer by Ham B
Chances are if your friend tried to committ suicide that they would know about it. Very few drugs cause blackouts (complete memory loss over a period of time). Alcohol is the only drug that I know of that has that kind of effect. Unless they were on a hallucinogen such as Acid or mushrooms then their suicidal thoughts would be with them even when they were sober. If they are a minor, then their parents can put them in rehab against their own wishes. If they are 18 or over, rehab is voluntary. As for alternatives to rehab, both AA (Alcoholics Anonymous) and NA (Narcotics Anonymous) have been successful for many people. But NO ONE will quit until they are ready. There is no magic fairy dust to fight addiction. It is usually a lifelong struggle, and it is very difficult to beat. That is why most former drug users say that they are a RECOVERING addict or alcoholic. Because addiction is a disease which is treatable but there is no cure.

Q&A: Can going from binge drinking to drinking a few beers a day, if that, do severe damage to my health?
Aug 8th
Question by Shannon G: Can going from binge drinking to drinking a few beers a day, if that, do severe damage to my health?
I’ve been a part of AA for 9 months but I’ve found that cutting back to a couple of light beers a day is working better than months of abstinence for now. It just seems like the stress of having to keep a certain sobriety date and constant reminders that I am an alcoholic causes me to relasp hard. Keep in mind that I am a 29 year old woman that has been drinking heavily for most of my twenties.

It can benefit way more than it can damage you. Your liver needs time to repair. I suppose that drinking a little beer a day wouldn’t hurt you very much, but it still needs to be in moderation.

Safe Smooth Driving, Going at Proper Speeds

Statistics exhibition so as to the estimated death toll on the world’s roads credit used for the loss of life of an ordinary of 3,287 relatives each period. Over a 12 month dot so as to resources 1,200,000 losses caused by traffic accidents.
What are the Reason of accidents on the road, and how can many be prevented? First of all let’s look next to the person behind the wheel-the driver. His, (or her), state of mind can greatly influence his driving. Obviously tiredness can perform its part in making the driver a reduced amount of alert, and long-winded down the response stage. But on top of to facilitate such emotions as anger, being anxious or absent-minded can perform their part in causing car accidents. Cases of road rage wherever fill with own lost their lives own been well familiar larger than the years. Most countries run anti-drink driving campaigns in an effort to nominate motorists aware of the risks involved with alcohol. Not forgetting too to facilitate selected prescription and larger than the counter drugs can impair upshot stage.
Defensive driving can help in avoiding traffic accidents. Being aware of other drivers and pedestrians earnings a driver is fewer likely to take an accident. If the driver to the fore suddenly puts his brakes on, will the car behind take sufficient point to brake and peter out? It’s amazing how many accidents take place in to facilitate way with catastrophic cost at what time driving on lofty run. Keeping a safe distance is even more influential in wet or icy conditions.
Motorists walk distracted by using the cell phone. Here many countries using the cell phone while driving is at this time contrary to the law, and a driver can be punished in place of burden it.
What roughly the automobile itself? Being safety conscious involves keeping a vehicle fully roadworthy. Brakes must drive efficiently, and must be checked by a garage methodically. Tires must be by the correct pressure, and give birth to sufficient tread, otherwise the car might lose grip in wet conditions. Seat belts are fitted intended for a rationalize. A driver shouldn’t rely on airbags to save him in an accident. The essential line of plea is the seat belt. All a car’s illumination need to be in proper working order. Headlights must be used not a moment ago so the driver can set eyes on, but as well to be seen.
Apart from the safety twist, it’s good quality to bear in mind to facilitate safe, smooth driving, open on proper speeds, in a well maintained vehicle, will moreover help to drop the amount of fuel the car uses.
Going Through Drug Test During Service
Jan 3rd
As we all know the impact of drug addiction throughout the world. It is one of the biggest problems of the modern society. Though there is no particular age group to get addicted to drugs but the most alarming fact is that the effects of drug addiction these days are considerably noticed in the younger generation. As it is known to all the younger generation is the backbone of the society and therefore the addiction to drugs makes this backbone weak and there is always the threat of the a severe crush down all the time as long as the society is threatened with the threat of drug addiction.
Moreover, these days several steps are taken to put a check on the evil effects of the drug addiction. And one of its effects is already being in the frequency of the drug testing campaigns organized by several employers at the work place to keep a check on the usage of drugs among their employees. These days the employers as well as the government both are seriously concerned about the ill effects of the drug addiction and the result is the conducting of drug test at the workplace.
It is a common fact these days that when you appear for an interview to seek a job you may be asked to go through a drug test so that your employer can make it sure that you are not under the influence of any sort of drug addiction. Though this is not a compulsory thing for you but the fact is that you shall have to go through the test when you are asked to. And as the company cannot for a drug test on you but in reality if you disagree with your employers it is very much certain that you will not get the job. Moreover, not only at the time of joining the company but also you may also go through these drug tests any time during your service time. This is for the security in case you get addicted to drugs after joining the company.
However, there are several methods of conducting a drug test. As for example the most common method of conducting a drug test is the urine test. In case of a urine test the urine samples are collected from the candidates and are either tested with a panel kit or is sent to the laboratory for a detailed analysis. The reason for the popularity of the urine test is that it is quite chipper than other tests. The urine test can be conducted much easily than any other tests and the accuracy is trustworthy. This is also a good reason why the employers in the most common cases prefer the urine test than any other test. However, other than the urine test there are several other methods of conducting a drug test like the saliva test, hair and hair follicle test and others. But among these the urine test is the most preferred one for most of the employers.
