Thats really great about your sister. I think its wonderful when a person sticks to their new years resolution and kicking your addictions butt is probably the best new years resolution to be made.

I think that the doctors are perscribing all these medications instead of giving the patient healthier things such as physical therapy because both the doctor and the patient are looking for the easiest solution and the quickest way. And a patient would probably prefer just taking a pill that will instantly help than go through a month of therapy to get  abit better. Most people are looking for an easy way out even if it means its bad for them. A lot of people dont think about the long run.

Whats Mirapex??

I really dont think smoking has anything to do with a gambling addiction. They're both two separate addictions.

a boy from china "kidnapped" himself and asked for $1400 ransom to buy a wii! he hired two men to kidnap him so he could get his parents money. how ridiculous is this?! it seems like kids are so desperate and are willing to do whatever it takes to get what they want. i would never even do that or think about doing that to my parents..wouldnt they wonder where he got that money anyways?

hahaha that kids got motivation. When he wants something it seems he'll do whatever to get it. Thats ridiculous but I also think its funny.

Well if they are going to go online either way they might as well go online and do something that will help them get off.. Make use out of everything :)
