Monday, March 28th, 2011Trying to lose weight…Do you think this is a good start??
Tuesday, March 15th, 2011I am 5’3″ and around 200lbs. I know I need to make a serious change in my life . I have a treadmill at home and just starting this week I have gotten back on it and am doing 30 mins, 1.5 miles a day. Right now being so out of shape this is about all I can do. I dont want to push myself too much for the fear that Ill get frustrated and quit but know that I will have to up the workout and add more to it. I am an emotional eater who tends to binge and being a stay at home mom I have plenty of time for that but am trying very hard to watch my proportions and eat less junk and such. With what I have said do you think I am off to a decent start, enough to see even a little difference in a few weeks??? As I am building my endurance what are things here I home that I can do to further my success? And how can I keep myself moving forward and not give up. Also I like to have a few drinks on the weekend, with this ruin the work I have done through the week???

If I start drinking and have a family history of Alcoholism, what are my chances of becoming an Alcoholic?
Sunday, January 9th, 2011Both of my parents were Alcoholics near the time they made me, though my mom quit drinking for the nine months she was carrying me, and my grandparents on both sides where Alcoholics as well. So I’m curious if I started drinking are my chances fairly high that I could begin to lose control over it and become an Alcoholic?
Thanks.
When adding an example to an essay do I need to start a new paragraph?
Thursday, December 30th, 2010what if I have more than one example. I need to put in an example of what happens to these families after they leave the recovery home? here is my essay.
Recovery Homes for Woman with Children
One of the biggest challenges facing alcoholic and drug addicted women is what to do with their children when they want help. Many recovery homes require a stay of three to nine months and no accommodations for children. These women often do not have family willing to care for the children during this time. The fathers may have their own substance abuse problems or a history of physical abuse. Women are reluctant to ask for help from social service in fear of never getting their children back. So they continue in their addictions .
There are a handful of these homes and they do much more than treat alcoholism and drug addiction. They provide counseling for mother and child, structure, and teach life skills such as cleaning and food preparation. The added bonus is learning how to parent. Not only do they have parenting classes but the counselors are there to help with day to day parenting problems these mothers face. Many of these children have behavioral problems due to the mother’s substance abuse and receive their own counseling.
The results are wonderful. The mothers are clean and sober, with newfound life and parenting skills. They are confident and have gained much needed self-esteem. They leave with a support system and a new lease on life. The children have their mommy back along with
Martin 2
new problem solving skills of their own. Most of all the family has remained together, preventing further trauma to the child. With substance abuse affecting more and more families it is necessary to provide more recovery homes for women and their children.
Word Count: 285 Okay. Great start and great idea for an example essay!! Now, make sure you talk about results. Do you have any specific examples of how this has worked for someone???
How do you get a kitten to eat stop drinking from the mother and start eating real food?
Tuesday, December 28th, 2010My best friends daughter wants me to talk to her mother about her drinking problem…How do I start the talk?

Monday, November 22nd, 2010I would like to start an organization for families coping with alcoholism. Where do I start?
Monday, November 8th, 2010In 2004, my dearest aunt died from cirhossis of the liver. My mother has been dating a man on and off for about seven years who is a severe alcoholic. My family has endured many hardships, and it has been hard for me, even now at 18, to cope with such a tragic disease. I would like to start an organization that provides support to families, especially teens and children, that have had a similar experience to mine. Where do I start? Any suggestions?
I am looking also to possibly publish a collection of stories from the families of alcoholism. There are few to none organizations that I have found that are directed specifically towards those affected. Most are directed towards the alcoholic/drug abuser. Thanks for the responses and help! It is much appreciated! :)
My dad always makes jokes about heroin and how he’s gonna start doing it?
Friday, October 1st, 2010He jokes around a lot about a lot of things, but this is the only thing that really worries me.
I know he used to do heroin when he was a kid, but he quit. he didn’t go to any fancy rehab, or anything, he said he just straight up quit it, that’s what he always told my mother.
He is kind of sick. He has emphysema (won’t quit smoking), glaucoma (just got a cornea transplant and is starting to gain back his sight), and some problem with his kidneys.
I’m 16 and I see him once a week, because that’s all my mother allows me to spend with him, because of his record, and such.
I just don’t know what to do. Sometimes I feel like I’m the adult, and he’s the child.

Would it be a good idea for me to start taking antidepressants to help my binge eating disorder?
Sunday, July 25th, 2010Okay. I told my mom about the ED (she still doesn’t 100% believe me), we saw a nutritionist and got some tips from her (eat protein at each meal, no sugar free and whatnot), and I search EVERYDAY for tips to help my binge eating. FOR A STRAIGHT MONTH THERE HAS NOT BEEN ONE DAY WHERE I HAVE NOT COMPLETELY BINGED!! Anyways, I heard that antideps really help but the thing is, I’m only thirteen and when I told my mom about this then she got really mad saying how it would mess me up at this age and I would not be able to get life insurance….? I just would like to know what you guys think thanks :).
My cat just had kittens yesterday and I dont know when to feed and start bathing the kittens Do you know when?
Tuesday, January 5th, 2010Well, she had 5 kittens yesterday one did not survive :( My question is when do I feed them kitten food and start bathing them? Also my cat (momma cat) her fur feels gross not soft similar to this if you put your hair in your mouth later on it dries and feels very dry and stiff. Do you by any chance also know what age the kittens need to be if they can leave their mom for a few hours and when they can quit drinking milk from the mother cats body part? Thanks
