I heard of one in medieval times where they would hang you by your feet and start sawing you in half long-ways but because of the position you are in your body doesn’t go into shock until the saw reaches past your belly button.

Can a Person Who Was a Cocaine Addict Drink Alcohol Occasionally After Rehab?

Question by kat: Can a person who was a cocaine addict drink alcohol occasionally after rehab?
My husband is getting out of a 6 month drug rehab program on Friday. I want to know if it is ok to allow him to drink alcohol or not. Alcohol was never a problem foe him, cocaine was his only addiction. I do not drink very often. I will maybe have 1 or 2 drinks every couple of months. I just wanted to know if I should ban all alcohol from our home? I just need some guidance on this one. Serious, helpful answers please.

How Can I Help My Big Brother Overcome His Drug Addiction?

Question by cal: How can I help my big brother overcome his drug addiction?
My big brother is having a relationship with Mary Jane (marijuana). He knows that it’s not good for him but he says he likes what it does to him so he continues to use it. The thing is, Mary Jane’s really affecting his life. He’s getting failing grades in school (he’s really smart so I don’t know how that happened) and he’s getting worse at baseball. He even spends more time locked up in his room with Mary Jane than hanging out with anyone else. I think he really needs help. He’s such a gifted person and I don’t want his talents to go into waste. We’re from Eastport, Maine.

Yes. Not only that, but “Generation Zero”, a.k.a. the Hippies and Post-War Generation that decided that individual happiness and rebellion, sexual freedom, and a TOTAL AND UTTER LACK OF APPROPRIATE BOUNDARIES when raising their children has led us down a path where the generation after the hippies were emotionally damaged, mentally damaged, and unable to form proper relationships with THEIR partners due to their lack of coping mechanisms, stability, and boundaries.
