Know Any Good Songs About Drug Recovery?

Question by kristen: Know any good songs about drug recovery?
I have been trying to find a really good song about recovering from an addiction online, but I haven’t been able to find what I’m looking for. I need something that’s not mainly about girls or alcohol, and that has a happy ending. Something like “this is what I’ve been threw but I’m finally back in control of my life” kind of thing. I’d greatly appreciate all help! Thank you in advance!

What Are Nerve Pills and Should They Really Be Taken in This Situation?

Question by joyce: What are nerve pills and should they really be taken in this situation?
My best friend is a single mom with a very difficult to deal with 4 year old little boy. He has behavior problems and doesn’t listen to her commands. She is very stressed out from dealing with him because the father is not in the picture, her family is 8 hours away and she is raising him all alone.
She works at a job dealing with special needs teenagers that can become physically violent at any moment. She says that the stresses of her job and then having to come home late in the evenings and deal with her son are starting to effect her health.
She says her memory is starting to go and her hair is starting to fall out. She plans on going to the doctor and asking for a prescription for nerve pills to deal with her problems. Are drugs really the solution here?
I am concerned about her but am not really able to help much because she lives in Maryland and I am way up in Michigan. Should she really be taking nerve pills to deal with her everyday life?

Do You Get Ticked Off When the Media Portrays Michael Jackson as a Drug Junkie?

Question by summer 369: Do you get ticked off when the media portrays Michael Jackson as a drug junkie?
Since Michael’s death, when talk show hosts (I’m not naming any names) do shows on prescription drug addictions, they ALWAYS refer back to “Michael Jackson died of a drug overdose”, as though Michael intentionally wanted to kill himself doing drugs. Does it tick you off that these talk show hosts are swaying their viewers to think that Michael was a drug addict? What do you think of them when they do that?
