You have to call 911!!!

Under age or NOT .. IF SOMETHING HAPPENS TO HIM YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE!!!

Your body gets rid of alcohol through the lungs.. and he may be having a reaction!!!

His parents love him and would rather have him alive.. He will be forgiven

ARE YOU CALLING???

Please help, I think my friend may be..?

Question by : Please help, I think my friend may be..?
addicted to a prescription drug called adderall.
She is 17 and she takes it everyday and it is not prescribed to her, I have absolutley no idea where she gets it because she won’t tell me. She keeps using the excuse “atleast im not doing meth and heroin, its a drug that doctors give out” But still, she is losing weight and acts just like a junkie in my opinion. I dont know much about adderall but I thought it was just a adhd med to calm people down so why would she even take it? Im confused.. help.

HELP ?! Tongue Piercing Question !!!?

Question by : HELP ?! Tongue Piercing Question !!!?
I am planning to get my tongue pierced this Friday !! :D

Im not at all scared or bothered whether it hurts or not – just want to know how long the swelling lasts on average as i know everyone is different ?

Also i have a lisp as it is, how long will my lisp be worse for after i got my tongue pierced ?
as im still at school and talk alot (which i know i will have to talk less for a while as it will heal quicker – so ive been told)

a few other questions i wanna know are :
1) what happens if they catch your veins ?
2) what are the chances of a proffessional piercing place (which has been around for many years) making a mistake?
3) how long do you wait until you change the original bar to a smaller bar ?
4) whats better to use, salt and water or non-alcoholic mouthwash ?

Add any other information would be greatly appreciated!!!!!!! :D :D I have researched alot and watched videos but any valid and true information will help :)

Thank you to all of you who answer my questions above :)

Answer by Niyah
1. They won’t hit a vein, the major veins in your tongue are both off to the side and I’m sure your going to a qualified piercer who will pierce your tongue on the correct spot
2. The chances are slim for the reason stated above and they obviously have to have a license, so don’t worry.
3. You can change your barbell after 4 weeks
4. I always used non alcoholic mouth wash and that is what my piercer recommended me to use as well.

The swelling will last 3-5 days.

Q&A: Help with this dream…it’s really bothering me.?

Question by uhhokk: Help with this dream…it’s really bothering me.?
My dream:
I was an active heroin user and I was with my boyfriend who also was. We were in a homeless shelter and guy #1 was picking a fight with us and I stepped up and he was like “you’re nothing but a junkie and I bet you’re proud I’m calling you that.” I left the room we were in for a minute and I came back and guy #2 was there. They had my computer and were watching porn on it together and shut it off when I came in. I ended up leaving again and the same thing happened when I came back again. I stormed out and I was asking if people could give me a ride back to this other city and no one would and someone said it cost 30$ to take the bus and I went to find my money that I stashed earlier and it was gone and I started flipping out and asked who stole my money and about 20 people raised their hands to fuck around with me and I started crying and was like just give me 15$ of it back and I’ll go out and jack the rest, I just don’t have time right now.
background history:
The boyfriend I have in the dream, he was an old boyfriend of mine who died back in March from a drug overdose. I kicked him out when I made the decision that I was going to die if I didn’t get my life together. That was over a year ago..I haven’t gotten high since he left my house. Guy #2 in my dream..he likes me in real life and is always trying to impress me and asked me the other night if I was mad at him because I ignore him kind of and don’t return his calls.
I love how someone else can look at something with a different perspective and see it plain as day but myself looking at it cannot because i’m clouded by emotion.
THANK YOU!!!!!!

Answer by turquoise
wow – how about
1) left over feelings of shame for being a user…
2) Mistrust of men – sneaking degrading images of women.
3) Desire to escape
4) frustration that you cannot get out
5) feeling like people are not helping you right now.

pretty clear to me – whether they are current feelings or left over feelings from the past – that is for you to say…

Does rehab for alcoholism help?

Question by nenndre: Does rehab for alcoholism help?
My friend drinks every day for the past 5 years. She just came out to everybody, and wants help. I found couple of places of rehab with a program lasting 30 days. It’s very expensive, so just wanted to know if anybody experienced that and if it helped or not. Thank You.
We also started AA, but not everyday that she needs. She can’t stop drinking on herself eventhough AA makes her happy, and feel better… I think she needs first detox and then AA…
Thank You so much every answear so far was really helpful in thought.

Best answer:

Answer by nickipettis
it helps some people, if they want help, and are ready to change almost everything in their lives.

The benefit of a rehab place is it gets her away from her habits and neighborhood, while she detoxes. other than that one point, I think AA is more useful.

If she goes through the rehab place, then comes back to her “old” life, with the same friends, and doesn’t work to change habits and thinking, the expensive rehab place isn’t worth the huge price.

How can I help my sister?

Question by deathstriker7334: How can I help my sister?
My sister is 14 years old and she wants to live with me, my aunt is her current guardian, they don’t get along last april my aunt kicked her out and she was staying with my mother. The problem was my mother is an alcoholic and was being mentally abusive to her. So I took her from there, when my aunt found out she called the cops and filed run away charges on her, so to avoid going to jail I had to turn her over to them. When they took her back to my aunts she had a mental breakdown and locked herself in the bathroom until the cops came back. Now she in a mental institution. I cant see her or talk to her and I need to know the quickest way I can get her back, there nothing wrong with her, she just wants away from my control freak aunt and alcoholic mother. I’m 22, I have a full time job and my own place, I’m more then capable of taking care of her I just need to know how I can get her back?

P.S. I’m in Oklahoma

Answer by ziggy
You need to report the entire situation to child and family services. Then you need to apply for custody of your sister (through child and family services? or through a lawyer). Unless your aunt is willing to let go, it may have to go through the courts.

Would this help to avoid alcoholism?

Question by may ray<3: Would this help to avoid alcoholism?
OK…so would your chances of being an alcoholic be lower if you drank something with a lower alcohol content than one with a higher one? Or does it matter?

Also…i have a friend who believes that she can either drink nothing or get drunk out of her ass (when she turns 21 of course) and she says that since she has poor impulse control she’ll do the latter…do you think it would be best for her to just avoid alcoholic drinks altogether and how can i tell her?

Don’t go there at all. Period. Slow, painful suicide.
