| I Had a Dream You know, I'm really nobody. But, I think I'm a lot like all the other nobody's who make up the greatest nation on Earth. I often wonder if other people are thinking and feeling, what I'm thinking and feeling, at a given time. Right now, I'm not... ( added 6 days 7 hours ago.) |
| A Moral Challenge to the Reputation of a Nation For the most part, the bulk of this article pertains to the period after the events of 911 and preceding the Invasion of Iraq.

| Fear Mongering: All's Fair?
I'm 58 years old, which obviously makes me I suppose, a "baby boomer", for whatever that's worth not much I suspect! I'm also a Veteran (1967-1971). I am a Recovering Drug Addict. I practiced my addiction for nearly three decades, losing the... ( added 19 days 6 hours ago.) |

| How Important are We the People, as a Nation? Just exactly what is the future of our Democracy? Are we just lost in our own times and seeing them as more critical than other times because they affect us personally? Is there anything left to do, or is the planet as a whole just tumbling down a... ( added 146 days 7 hours ago.) |
| Addiction: How Much is Too Much? How much is too much? There is always a lot of debate about this inside the families of Addicts and Alcoholics. Of course, the Users always defend their selves and claim that they can, "quit anytime I decide that I want to." But, just what is too... ( added 154 days 11 hours ago.) |
| The Addict and the Night: Our Problem? Though the United States has an unacceptably high number of homeless, very few of us have any concept how terribly frightening and spirit breaking it is to have become one of those lost, stereotyped souls! When it comes to be late in the night or... ( added 194 days 15 hours ago.) |
| Drug Addiction Recovery: The 12 Step Way I often find myself baffled by the alternatives to 12 step Recovery. It's kind of right out of the AA Big Book; "looking for an easier, softer way!"
If you really look at what happens to the person that is afflicted with the disease of... ( added 252 days 2 hours ago.) |
| Recovery: When the God Thing Happened! Throughout my childhood, in Missouri, I was given the gift of having a God to believe in!

| Addiction: Victim, Problem, Solution?

| Some Thoughts on Recovery I am a Recovering Veteran and chemical dependency Counselor.
There is a "frame-of-mind" that is common to those that Recovery is more likely to work for. 12-Step programs have an identifying directive, of sorts. "Stick with the winners!"... ( added 309 days 5 hours ago.) |
| What About Addiction Treatment? One main function of Treatment is providing "Tools", or skills to help resist the "craving" for the drug-of-choice. In the end, though, helping the addict return to normal functioning in society can be the most important and difficult part of the... ( added 311 days 6 hours ago.) |
| Acceptance and Addiction Recovery The anti-social nature of drug addiction results in a "Life-Style". The addict becomes out-of-synch with the social structure in which he must live. Addicts begin to associate only with other addicts or drug dealers and then transcend into the... ( added 317 days 7 hours ago.) |
| Addiction and the Criminal Justice System Straight off the top Addicts for one reason or another, have a problem coping with every day life in our Society!
