Do you are someone you know deny they have a drinking problem but all the signs say that alcohol is at the root of major problems in the life of the one doing the drinking? Cravings for alcohol and an inability to limit or stop the flow of alcohol are both earmarks that the individual is probably suffering from a disease called alcoholism, a disease that is chronic in nature and one that can have severe health, financial and relationship consequences.

There is typically denial on the part of the drinker that a true problem exists regarding alcohol and health issues, financial problems or relationship issues that stem from the drinking habits. Anyone with a disease that impairs thinking is going to make bad decisions, may try to cover up the problem out of embarrassment or for other reasons and is going to fight against getting help if doing so means doing without the thing they crave the most – alcohol.  Read more...

Intervention is when the person is confronted with the direct evidence of the consequences of his/her actions and how those actions has affected others and in the case of family intervention, how those actions have negatively impacted the other family members. When the intervention involves alcoholism, the actions are directly related to drinking alcohol. Generally the intervention takes place when the alcoholic’s behavior or drinking has reached a crisis level and there have been dire or very serious consequences such as a traffic violation that had serious results such as a injury or death to a innocent victim, or the alcoholic abused a family member, or the alcoholic ended up in the hospital for a serious alcohol-related health issue that is serious.

Interventions are usually planned and developed by professionals who are experienced in substance abuse counseling and are experienced in alcohol interventions. Most alcohol and drug treatment centers are prepared to help families to plan and conduct interventions. Interventions can take place at the workplace, at home, or at the hospital if the individual is hospitalized. Typically the purpose of the intervention is to convince the alcoholic of the need to enter a treatment facility in order to learn how to manage the alcohol problem.  Read more...

Eating disorders are still a major problem among teenagers and young adults. When a family member is diagnosed with the disorder, the road to acceptance and recovery can be long. Here are eight tips for helping them and the rest of your family to get through it.

Anger is the feeling we experience when events in our world are not going according to our plans. Anger is one of the most common and destructive delusions affecting our minds. Because it is based on an exaggeration, anger is an expression of our belief system and how we defend it.

Its as if we have an inner idea of how things, events and people should be for us. When we get angry and either feel frustrated or try to change them, we tend to give away our power! Many of us remain a victim to our tempers all of our lives. In essence, anger is the feeling we get when we want to control the world around us.

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, anger is most prevalent in the Spring. It is considered the emotion of Spring. Although we can and do experience anger at any time or season, it is Spring when we are most easily angered. This is believed to be due to the changes of light and dark and the balance between them.  Read more...

Alcoholism is a disease in which an individual has the inability to control the strong craving for alcohol. Individual who suffer from alcoholism often need the aid of alcohol in order to feel “normal”. They crave alcohol much like any other drug addict craves a “fix”.

It may become so severe that they feel that they cannot go a day without consuming alcohol.

The Character of alcoholism:

The disease alcoholism is not characterized by the type of alcohol or even by the amount of alcohol that is consumed by the individual but rather by the need to satisfy the craving for alcohol. It is characterized by the loss of control that is felt by the individual when the craving for alcohol is not satisfied. Alcoholics (individuals who suffer from alcoholism) often build up a tolerance to alcohol over time so that they need more and more alcohol in order to feel “normal”. They thus consume more and more alcohol, and this is what puts the individual at risk for serious health problems. There is also a psychological manifestation of the illness (alcoholism) as well as the physical symptoms of the disease.  Read more...
