Intrill01 said: Would you forgive your partner for infidelity if you knew for sure that they have a sex addiction but you also know that they love only you and all the others are just to feed their craving? I don't think I would be able to do it. Even if they went to counseling that would always be in the back of my head and I would always worry about relapse.


You say that you wont forgive, but if you love him you do and take the chance of him relapsing. I would probably stay with him but I'd want to make sure he never repeats it again and gets help for his addiction. He wouldn't ever be able to do it without my support, so I'd be there for him. And if it causes problems in our relationship later then I cant say that I didn't try.

these are types of things that every teenager goes through, except when its a celebrity the whole world finds out about it. I can name off a few girls in my high school who have sent nude photos to their boyfriends, and after they broke up those photos went to other boys as well, its just apart of the whole teenage ordeal. I think these celebrities are just normal people but the way the paparazzi exposes them makes them look so much worse. About Britney though, I think she really does have a mental problem.

Selling crack cocaine is now a tougher way to make money than it was at the beginning of the decade because of increased police pressure, now many of the drug dealers turned to pimping instead. They think that by selling young girls for sex they are less likely to get caught. They don’t have to carry anything in their pockets or stash it in their homes like they did with drugs. They can just use a cell phone or laptop connections to conduct business. And they just simply pose as boyfriends walking down the street.
They make about $500 a day from each girl, and the girl never sees a dime out of it. She may get lunch or some new clothes but never any cash. The pimps dominate and control the girls, using threats, violence and manipulation to keep them by their sides. And the girls think they love them so they do everything. These girls usually don’t have anywhere to stay, and come from broken homes.
I think this is wrong; these girls are totally being taken advantage of. It’s as if they either have a choice of having a place to live and someone to take care of them and sleeping with every man thrown at them or being homeless. They shouldn’t have to ever be in the position.

What date is this? I know its national pot day, mostly all the people I know celebrated it. But like why did they come up with this day? I heard it was like hitlers birthday, or something to do with Bob Marley. Do any of you know?

I always thought alcohol and marijuana would be number one and two. I thought tobacco would be less and marijuana would be much higher. Oh well shows how much I know. :-/
RE: How long can you go without watching TV?

actually I've realised when I have a lot to do I dont watch TV at all. But when i'm at home with everything I do I have to have the TV on. I went on a cruise a few weeks ago and I didn't turn on the TV once. Also I traveled with some friends and spent the whole time out and the only time during that whole week that I watched some TV was on the plane ride. So I guess if I'm doing something fun constantly, I can live without a TV :).. I guess this proves I'm not a TV addict hehe.

I think it'd peoples own choices, some get more entertainment just sitting on the couch watching TV and eating out of a tub of ice cream than they would if they were out with their friends at the beach, or just somewhere fun. I know for me I love going out with my friends and I woudn't mind spending everyday with them and putting away the TV, but somedays I just want to have to my self and I prefer sitting on the cough eating everything in the fridge and laughing and crying and smiling with all the movies I watch. But I wouldn't want to live everyday this way.

Cocaine energy drink

I was watching the news and there’s this new energy drink out called “Cocaine”. It’s supposed to be 300% stronger than Red bull. It has no cocaine in it though. It has 280 milligrams of caffeine; other ingredients include 750 milligrams of taurine, 100 milligrams of inositol, B vitamins, 50 milligrams of L-Carnitine, 250 milligrams of D-Ribose, and 25 milligrams of guarana. There are three flavors, Original, Cut and Free. The original version is red, cinnamon based, the cut lacks the taste of cinnamon, and free is sugar free.
I think this drink could get kids to become more interested in cocaine, but I have a feeling this drink will be very popular. I know I definitely want to try it since it has so much caffeine, I love energy drinks. Especially before a test, they get me so focused!

I really thought that heroin had died out after people realised how dangerous of a drug it is. I mean I've talked to drug addicts who do coke all the time and weed is a regular thing, and they say heroin is the one drug that they will never try. But I guess it hasn't died out at all, and oxycontin is just making it more popular again.

I would definately do this to my kids. If it was to get them clean then tough love it is. Getting through an addiction is going to be hard either way, if this is one of the recommended ways to do it then I definately would send them there.

Thats really good that you weren't addicted, pretty amazing actually. Cocaine is a very addictive drug and you used it for quite a while, someone up above must really love you -_-

Its amazing how sometimes the worst things that happen to you (arrest) could actually be the best. I got in a lot of trouble with drinking and I've realised my life is much better without it. I feel like a much better, cleaner and healtheir person without it.

I think since they're bigger their bodies can hande more alcohol than a girls does, but it just depends on the person, and how addictive they are. I have guy friends who drink literally every night. They have names for every night too, like thirsty thursday, crazy friday, party sunday, things like that. But when it comes time for finals weeks they dont drink a single sip and all their focus goes into studying. They drink for fun and they drink often, but drinking doesn't control them. I dont think theyre addicted, but I guess thats just their personality. But girls could drink less than guys and still become addicted, I dont think it matters on the intake.

I think the people you meet at church can be generally more understanding than the people you talk to normally. And your not only getting help from the people, but from the one that has all the power, God. And I think that that is best!

I have a friend who has a deaf puppy, it sounds sad but its really the cutest thing ever. I dont know what kind he is but hes all white and has long ears and his fur is soft and hes pretty small. but you could go up to him and yell all you want and he wont move. you can even clap your hands right by his ears and he still wont move but when you go infront of him he'll go crazy and  play with you and wag his tail, its really cute.

WOW four pots!! thats crazy! My dad has 4 Vente starbucks drinks everyday I thought that was alot. I think you should go to detox for that. Caffiene is a strong addiction, people dont seem to realise that. I would try to find a way to cut down. I'm expecting that your going to be very grumy, and have lots of headaches though.

If cooking is hard, why dont you get those big frozen dinners, those pastas and stuff like that. Or those frozen Pizza's too. They only take like half an hour to cook, and you dont have to order it and pay as much and wait for it. You just pop it in. I'm not sure if its the healthiest choice but I do think It's wiser than take out.

that is crazy! 80 pounds. Thats like as much as I weighed in 7th grade! I'm guessing she may even way less than one of her kids. I wish I would've seen this on the news. I think this disease is one of the hardest to overcome. And the people that do, are truly glorious.

I'm glad you know what got you addicted and what got you to turn to drugs.Many of the friends I know who are addicted dont know how they became addicted. They just started using because they liked the feelling.

I he could have a big impact too. Usually when we see rappers like that they are promoting using drugs and talking about how good of a time they had with it and showing off how much they bought and all that. But if one of the people who sing those types of songs was telling kids how bad drugs are and how much they could ruin your life, then I would take them seriously. Because its coming from someone who's seen both the glamorous side of drugs and the bad, and if they were pointing out the bad thats the side I would end up listening to.
