How Can I Get My Dad to Stop Drinking?
Question by : How can I get my dad to stop drinking?
He drinks a lot of wine and beer. Me and my mother asked him to stop this summer and he got to the bottle within two weeks. He gets drunk almost every day now. He doesn’t get violent, just hurtful and sometimes acts like he’s not there. He’s a different person when he drinks. He’ll usually drink a bit with dinner and then drink more in the kitchen without telling us and gets waisted. If anyone mentions it to him, he pauses a few seconds and tries to avoid the question as to if he drank extra or not. Always is the answer yes but then he gets passive aggressive and irritated.
Sorry that I posted it in the Religion and Spirituality just no one seems to be on the other subforums. And please don’t say “Find Jesus/Mohammad/Kristna” because he’s an atheist.
How Is It That Abortion Is Not Considered Neglect, Child Abuse and So Forth by Some?
Question by williambradle: How is it that abortion is not considered neglect, child abuse and so forth by some?
and even if you say these are not humans which they are what else would they be I can still assure you that most women that have abortion don’t read scientific journals about early life and science so they could care less if it was or was not which is just as outrageous! If you don’t agree with me here then I would also like to make the argument that having sex and getting pregnant unplanned is a form of neglect and irresponsibility like driving while your drunk or something, so point is this is a huge form of child abuse is that not undeniable?
“GOOD CAUSE” for QUITTING in GEORGIA?
Question by Uggh: “GOOD CAUSE” FOR QUITTING IN GEORGIA?
I have had bursitis since I was 22 after I had my first child. It was so bad that I could not walk. I thought my legs were broken, so I had began to crawl everywhere. Eventually my mother took me to the hospital (no one believed me for weeks and I could not drive). When I received the diagnosis from the doctor he said I had bursitis (after an x-ray and questioning) and told me I would have to have steroid injections. I refused and I went home and suffered it out. I took tylenol and OTC drugs to get by, and ended up having to resign from my job not being able to get out of the bed. I was unable to claim UI even though I worked there for 2 years and had no issues with management. I am now 3 years later in the same predicament. I for whatever reason as a younger woman believed bursitis was something you can have and would just go away and never come back like chicken pox, but I was wrong. It came back and even worse. I have another job like the one before, heavy lifting, twisting, pulling, etc. and I can fill it every day. I take about 16 tylenols a day and it is starting to have no affect. My job has slacked on providing me (and some other employees) with our enrollment paperwork in a timely manner so I have suffered with it about 2 months longer than necessary. I am 6 months from recieving my nursing degree. However I was wondering if I quit will I have good cause to recieve UI. I am in really bad pain.I have attempted to sit down at work to lessen the pain and pressure but with the way my job is designed (must be always moving and on my feet) it is no possible. I’m not one of those people who hates working, I’ve always had a job since I was 17 and I believe in working and earning my keep. Manual labor is just not something I can do anymore.
I refused the steroids because I had to pay for them out of pocket, because at the time I was uninsured as I am now. I have been on my job but they have slacked on providing me with my paperwork to recieve my benefits(insurance) so like then, now I am forced to deal with the pain day to day which is why I take the tylenol. I cannot recieve medicaid or medicare, because I am too old/young. I will have to wither pay for insurance for the time being (if I do quit) or become insured under my boyfriend.

Any Suggestions on Good and Affordable Inpatient Drug Rehab Facilities?
Question by hrnyplygrl: Any suggestions on good and affordable inpatient drug rehab facilities?
I live in cupertino, ca (bay area) and I’m just wondering if anyone knows and good inpatient centers to go to. I partly want to do this for myself but the other part is for court. I’m on the DEJ or deferred entry of judgement which is a 8 or 10 week drug program outpatient though. I can’t seem to make myself go. So, I’m thinking inpatient might be better. It would need to be affordable and also most likely approved by a judge. Thanks!

Good Eating Disorder Centers in Arizona?
Question by forgatmigej: Good eating disorder centers in Arizona?
My sister is suffering from anorexia and my parents are trying to find a place to send her for inpatient care. The hospital gave us some references, but we haven’t been able to find any patient reviews about the cost, level of care, and recovery rate. Rosewood Ranch seems pretty popular, is it a good place?
My parents really need to find my sister a place to go when she gets out of the hospital.
Please help!

Why Can’t I Be Happy Without Drugs and Alcohol?
Question by MuncH: why can’t I be happy without drugs and alcohol?
I have been in AA, NA and have lived that life for a couple years. Wasn’t life to me and I wasn’t happy. One of the sayings is “Don’t forget where you came from” After I lost my ex-fiance and our baby I was borderline suicidal on a daily basis. I usually drink till I feel good, take pills and I was smoking dope trying to OD, and my mind wanted to do something and wandering in traffic wasn’t it
