Both those guys had to have been on so many different drugs to do such horrible things, especially to little children. 

Imagine drinking two of those things!  You'd be up for days, that's the only trouble with energy drinks like these, or Red Line, you could seriously die from drinking more than one.  It's best to share it with someone.

Yes this is so important!  Unfortunately it takes some trial and error, but it's actually a great tool for dating because you can be sure that they'll let you know ahead of time whether they choose to still booze/drug. 

Well I should share this with my girlfriends.  They're actually addicted to cigarettes, it's so sad because whenever they see me, it's like hey, can you buy me a pack of ciggs? PLeeeeeZ?  I can hardly stand it, but I keep telling myself it's their addiction talking, not them.  But they've all made new years resolutions to quit and all failed within a few hours after midnight.  But they've been talking about quitting for months, so this may be the trick they need :)

Hey that's a really good idea, simplicity really is the best answer when it comes to finances.  I hope no one on here is critically in debt, but if you are, I know you can pull out of it! 

When I gave my life to God I had this inner peace that I feel so lucky to have.  Sometimes I'll wake up in the middle of the night or I can't fall asleep and I will start stressing.  But then I'll realize, that everything is in God's hands and I have nothing to worry about.  It makes me feel so much better about my life and all of the decisions I'm making for God.

Fire, that's awesome that you're so motivated.  A lot of my friends still struggle with smoking and drinking.  But you're right, sometimes it's nice to have a completely awesome time without being drunk, on drugs, or stoned.  I swear, people get so caught up thinking life sucks and there's nothing to do, but there really is.

    Cocaine addicts are known for being frenetic, but which came first, the behavior or the habit? New research indicates that, at least in rats, it's the behavior that begets addiction.  Also, the study has pinpointed the character trait- impulsiveness- that is responsible for developing true drug dependence.
    Scientists who study drug addiction have a common problem: The individuals they deal with are already addicted, so it's hard to tell what, if any, behaviors led to the initial dependence.  What they do know is that two traits: impulsiveness and thrill-seeking tend to define most drug addicts.  Apparently the experiment determined that impulsivity actually leads to addiction.  Thrill-seeking individuals tend to use the drug for a period of time, then become bored, apparently when the thrill is over.
    So, knowing this, we can identify individuals at early times in their lives that may be prone to developing an addiction.  And its shown that anti-impulsivity medication, such as some antidepressants, may be the key to helping people stay away from cocaine for good.

So I think i'd be considered an Internet addict in China..!  A few hours a night is nothing really, but those are some pretty extreme forms of treatment.  Shock therapy, ouch. 

So I decided to go to a meeting a few days ago.  The SAA meeting place ended up being at a church around the corner from my work!  I was so reluctant to walk in, I had to walk through a cloud of cigarette smoke just to get through the door, where I almost ran in the other direction.  I walked in and realized I was the only girl there.  I sat right next to the door, in case of a quick getaway.  The meeting took place in the dark, which was okay since that's the mindset I've been in for months now.  I felt someone staring at me during the meeting and noticed a guy repeatedly looking at me then looking away, it creeped me out.  After the meeting was over I pretty much ran out the door and as the staring guy approached me, he said my story was pretty amazing and my story about being addicted to fantasies and not loving my life woke him up a bit. He thanked me and walked off.  In the meeting when it was my turn to talk, it all came to me but I couldn't find the words.  I told them I was a hypno sex addict and I'd love to spend most of my days at home listening to MP3, brainwashed.. but it wasn't until I had a totally awesome day in the city with friends, went to a nice park, watching a movie outdoors and having an all around good time.  THAT was living.  And I would've missed it all if I had gone home and tranced out.
