Addiction
« Previous EntriesNot Alone
Sunday, April 20th, 2008 I guess when you’ve been there, you kind of understand.
My good friends are going through a situation right now with their kids that I’ve experienced. They’re doing what I did and what so many other parents do. They’re keeping quiet, between themselves. They’re not talking to others about it because it’s just too […]
On The Horizon: A New Blog
Friday, February 22nd, 2008I’ve been working here and there on a new blog. I’ve owned the domain for 4 years, attempted to get it up and running before but then scrapped it and started over. the CMS software I was using was a bit more than I needed, I think, and not as easy to use as […]
1 800 NODRUGS Comes Through With Free Help
Wednesday, January 30th, 2008Although I don’t blog about it regularly, I have mentioned here before that I am the mother of a recovering addict. My child was very young when he started experimenting with drugs and was quite young when he began treatment. With four years of sobriety under his belt, he is doing well but he […]
Gatehouse Academy Offers Help
Friday, January 25th, 2008One topic that I tend to write about more often than others is drug addiction. Twenty years ago, I would have laughed if you told me that my life and my family would be touched by addiction. After all, I was a good mother, actively involved in my kids’ lives. I stayed at home […]
Rehab Referral
Thursday, October 18th, 2007I’m working on getting my addictions blog up and running. I do believe there are many more people affected by addiction - either their own or that of a loved one - than most of us realize. I’ve been blogging here off and on about addiction and drug abuse in the news, in society […]
This Hadn’t Bothered Me Before But…
Thursday, October 11th, 2007After reviewing the site for addiction detox I got to thinking about various celebrities who have been in and out of rehab. Up until now I’ve felt a great deal of compassion for them. These young men and women are the same age as some of my kids, which explains some of my maternal […]
A Dignified Approach To Substance Abuse
Thursday, October 11th, 2007We’ve all read about the substance abuse and drug rehab stints of celebrities like Lindsey Lohan and Britney Spears. Most of us are tired of hearing about it, in fact. That’s a shame, really. Substance abuse - whether it’s drugs or alcohol, is a major problem and really does deserve more attention than it […]
Bloggers Unite To End Abuse: Drug Abuse
Thursday, September 27th, 2007This day is almost over but there’s still time to join thousands of bloggers today who are joining together to end abuse. Some have written about elderly abuse or spousal abuse, animal abuse and child abuse. I covered dog abuse on my other blog. Here, I want to alert everyone to the increasing problem […]
Did I Hit A Nerve?
Sunday, July 29th, 2007 My previous post about Lindsey Lohan, her recent arrest and her dire need for effective drug rehab raised the ire of one Santa Monica resident. At least that’s where she claims to live; she didn’t provide a URL so I’m not sure who she is. Anyway.
This woman, Cynthia, seems to fear for her life […]
Saving Lindsey Lohan
Thursday, July 26th, 2007 Will someone close to this girl please step up to the plate and do the right thing? Her father is a convicted felon and her mother is much too caught up in her own self to really care about Lindsey. Is there no one who cares about the person in the headlines?
Look, I’m not […]
