Wasn't there a video of her snorting drugs that she hid in her hair while she was singing on stage? I think she needs to be in jail and she needs something to wake her up and make her realize how big of a junkie she is.

I knew a girl who took pills to counteract her drug abuse but she wanted the drugs so bad and wanted to feel them that she stopped taking the pills just to be able to enjoy the high. I can relate to that because I once took diet pills and I would want to eat so bad but they would make me feel so full so I just didn't take them when I wanted to eat. I think they should develop a shot that a person takes once a month that way the addict cant just stop taking pills and return to their drug abuse.

Addiction doesn't have to be triggered by a substance. It can be a technology, a habit, or even a person!

yahooboo101 said: Sometimes if you request certain procedures, they can give you medication that can hinder the cravings you get.  I know they do it for meth and stimulants, but I'm not sure if they do it for painkillers, which are opiates.  And they'll give you specific detox regimens to clear you body out the fastest so you're not withdrawaling for days.

They do this for painkiller addiction and I think it could be your best option unless your strong enough to just go through the withdrawals and get past them. But the pills they will give you will need monitoring, I really suggest staying in a center for a little while. Especially with the way your desrcibing your family. Unless if you have grandparents or aunts and uncles that could help you. You need to trust someone with your issue and get the help you need or your addiction could lead into a heroin addiciton and become worse. You describe your dad as a "crack head", and I'm very sorry about that. But dont let yourself follow in his footsteps. You can live a much better life.

I heard that eating a tablespoon of honey every morning is extremely good for you. Not only does it help immune you from many diseases but also helps your skin.

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!!
RE: Leaving Your Husband

I completely understand why God is so against divorce. Once you get married your a family and just like a person wouldn't ever leave their mothers and never talk to them again or disown their children for any reason a husband and a wife is the same thing. We dont feel like it is because with our parents and kids we didn't really have a choice we just got what God gave us but with our spouses we had the ability to choose them, marry them, and spend the rest of lives with them. We may say we made the wrong choice because of so many problems but that person is your family now and we should stick with them through everything.

I'm not a person who is completely against divorce, I believe that if affairs or physical abuse is involved then that is the best decision. My parents got divorced and I wouldn't have had it any other way.
Asking for help

Asking for God's help in all situations is a very important part of our relationship with Him. When you ask for God to help, you are indirectly saying that you trust him and that you need him. You are admitting your weakness and acknowledging His strength. You are submitting and surrendering to Him.

But what are we saying to God if we never ask for His help? We are saying we don't need him. We are sending the message that we have no need of His blessing or protection and we want to go it alone.

Another reason to ask for God's help is not to seek a specific outcome, but rather to receive his comfort, support and peace. God may not provide a direct resolution to every difficulty in our lives, but he will comfort us. When you seek God during times of trouble, large or small, you are saying, "God, be with me during this time. Let my thoughts be with you and let me feel your presence."

Doesn't it have to be laced with something to make you hallucinate? I dont see how alcohol by itsself can make you hallucinate. I agree with direskill its probably just a different type of drunk.

I think detox at home could be good for some people. Some people who are paid by the hour cant afford leaving their job for a month or however long it takes to get treated. Or people who have to go to school and college they cant afford to do that. But I think 3 people is good enough to take care of a person going through detox. One of them should manage their medication and make sure they take it and not too much. Also if the addict is going to work then they should let their work know too so that they could keep an eye on them and also take care of them.

I think cough syrup abuse is the last thing on any mothers mind. Its the last thing on mine and I'm 16! When I first heard about it I thought they were crazy. But a lot of people are trying it. And those coricidin pills, they're supposed to be for cough and cold and so many teens are abusing them. I have a friend who got expelled because she took them at school, she was a diabetic and I dont know what happened but she passed out and had to go to the hospital and then got expelled for taking them.

If you dared a person to lick battery acid or those things I'm sure they wouldn't but yet these addicts pay to inject and snort all those put together into their bodies. I understand all the other drug addictions, cocaine is atleast made form a pure substance and weed everything things mother nature made and although they're bad for you but with meth its all these hazardous things going into your body! I'd just feel contaminated!

I used to think smuggling drugs was easy like theyre not going to go that far to check for drugs they usually just check for explosives but I guess I was wrong they catch you with a lot of things! lol I thought this one was funny though, I heard a story about some fat smugglers hiding the drugs under there folds of belly fat
Narcotics in restrooms

This guy must’ve been completely drugged up to have done this. A guy called the police and reported that he found narcotics in a restroom. They contacted the man and seized the narcotics. But when they saw George Higgins he was displaying symptoms of recent drug use. He then later admitted to the deputies that the suspected narcotics belongs to him and got arrested.
I’ve never really done a hard core drug but I know people who have and who have and they said that it makes them trip out a lot. That they’ll think that someone is after them or they’re going to get caught things like that, I think that might’ve been what was going on in this guy’s head.

My uncle did this so he could do a diet. He didn't have anytime to cook or anything so he ordered from a company that would cook the food and then deliver it to your home or work and its hot too. It's healthy, home made, low on calories, and tastes soo much better than fast food.

I think its something these girls would regret for the rest of their lives. When you think of losing your virginity its supposed to be with someone you love. You've waited your whole life and saved it, not just given it up so easily. I think selling it is like prostitution.

I dont think it really matters what type of jeans you wear. But sometimes people just stick to the same pair of jeans every single day! My bestfriend in freshman year would wear the same jeans every single day. He wouldn't change them at all. They were distinct jeans too, you normally wouldn't find guys checking out other guys jeans but the color was distinct and the pockets. Everyone was noticing this except him. One time we were going to meet up with a bunch of girls and I told him to wear kakis. He did and he was in such a bad mood throughout the evening that he went home but then returned an hour later feeling better and wearing THOSE SAME JEANS!!!!

unamor said: I'm not trying to be mean and please don't take this the wrong way, but as I have grown up I realized that the times when I tried to present myself to look good on the outside was really when I was miserable on the inside. I would consider going to counseling to see if there is a deeper issue that is lying within you and you may not even know what it is so how can you fix it? People should like you for what's on the inside, not the appearance you present.

Sometimes people just feel better when they look good on the outside too. Like when would you feel better dressed looking like a bum or dressed good? I feel like I look more presentable when I dress nice and I feel more confident and I'm sure people take me more seriously.

I agree with lilsmoke I dont see anything wrong with watching a few TV shows a week. But I dont think its good to have to keep up with like 5 or 6 of them and they're all on different days and having to schedule your whole week around them thats too much. I think 2 or 3 is perfect. They're entertaining and we enjoy them. We shouldn't stay away from every enjoyable thing just because too much of it is not good.
