 Interesting treatment concept. Though I don't completely agree with the technique, I guess it is better to do it under proper motorization than none I guess. However, I believe it should be considered as an treatment option without criticism.

Does hypnotic/sex addict involves some sort of enhancements? e.g drugs, alcohol?

Some visuals I can kinda understand, but music alone can't possibly hypnotize someone completely to a point where they can't remember anything, or can it? I'm no expert on this matter so please do enlighten me.

Actually everybody's bodies are different. Some people are perfectly fine with just 5 hours a night while otheres (like myself) are exhausted the next day if I dont get 10 hours a night. Your body is just set to a certain time that it has to sleep. I read once that mariah carey needs 14 hours every night!!

dannng 14 hours! she doesn't even work! whens the last concert or CD or anything she's had! she needs her energy to shop I guess :)
My little sister is 10 years old and sleeps just 7 hours a night! thats enough for her. For me I need about 9 to just function properly. But you know also how some people go to the army and they end up getting used to just 4 hours of sleep a night. I think your body could adapt to change like that.


hahaha too funny. I think everyone's sleeping hours can vary so is not that big of a deal. Some sleeps longer than others but does not get enough RIM sleep so it doesn't count for much. For me, I still need at least 7-8hrs a day, when I was back in rehab...mygod I was just so burned out and tired, I usually slept like Mariah haha.

Couldn't agree more, when I was addicted to painkillers and alcohol my mind was in a state that didn't need anyone or anything but drugs and alcohol. If it wasn't for http://drug-alcohol-abuse-treatment.com/
and friends, I wouldn't have ever thought about going clean, I just never wanted to face my fears. I had to weed my defects one by one in the journey but here i am, still recovering and trying.

cody said: I know I can never be friends with my ex and I'm always going to want something more with her and have hope that there will be able to be something more and that it would be perfect. When in all reality our relationship was only perfect the first year and the rest of it was terrible. She's not the person I imagined her to be and although there's so many pro's to her there's twice as many cons. Sometimes I just want to call her up and tell her we should work everything out and just forget about everything but she put me through so much and I've given her so many chances that I know she's never going to change like she promised. And all those things she swore were all lies. I know I need to break off from her completely and so far I've gone 2 days and I'm hoping to continue and just be strong enough to get her out of my life and out of my head!!


I think the same with Cody, if I was ever involved with somebody, I can never be a true friend with her even things ended in a good break up. Theres always something about someone who you were once involved with that I can't get over.

Hes a jerk, not even worth your time. If anything call his parents or who ever is responsible for him and send him to a rehab center.

 There are thousands of website like the one you've provided. It just isnt cost effective for FDA or the GOV. to personally look into these sites. And you are correct, sites like that have made countless teens ended up at drug rehab centers across the country.

Cassey said: You can't believe everything you're hearing about his death.  I heard that yes he was being prescribed a lot of medications, but that he was also very happy before his death.  The medicines he was taking were very strong and he had just started his 50 city tour, everything could've become too much for him.  This is very sad though, i really wanted to meet him one day. 


I can see why he was very happy. I have nothing against Michael using what ever makes him happy but stars like him aren't like how they use to be. After decade of prescription drugs, and surgeries, his body must of been extremely unhealthy. Did anyone know if he checked himself into a rehab prior to his departure? I still feel as if this accident coulda been prevent easily...

Being introvert can be considered as anti-social? I guess there is nothing really wrong with being introvert, shy, or anti-social, I use to have anxiety and panic disorders, I guess you can say I just didnt want people to see how weak I was when I am anxious. Because of this I tend to just stay away from people and go on with my life. That was the past anyhow, after checking into rehab for my drinking, I'm better off in many ways....
