People say the local 12 step programs, Narcotics Anonymous, are helping them recover. Accepting your addiction is the first step. Anthony Salas, a recovering drug addict, says it hasn’t been easy. He’s been clean for four years now, but temptation is always there.  "If I have just one drug, I have to have more and more and more and I can’t stop," said Salas. Recovering is an ongoing process. People like Cathy Hale and Anthony say going to the 12-step program and attending meetings is what helps them stay away. "I get emotional thinking about it cause it means a lot to me, I couldn’t do life without them," said C...

In a professional sense I welcome change. I'm open to procedure changes and I stay positive and try to keep others positive. Why then, in my personal life do I sometimes get so sad about change? This topic has come up in my head tonight because I was reading a post by The Junkie's Wife called Zombie Love which was talking about her missing some of the way things used to be. Me, already being down tonight (as seen in this The Write Thought Post called Feelings Suck Sometimes) was brought to tears over this post. Sometimes I just get a little overwhelmed when I think about how much in my life has changed. I don't give into thinking about this often because it usually ends up with me feeling sad but tonight...it has gotten the best of me. I figured the healthiest thing...

The other thing I have been doing is practicing psychiatry, including treating addiction with and without Suboxone.  I have had a frustrating stretch of time, the last month or so;  I have about 5 openings right now for Suboxone patients, and have had a heck of  a time with the appointments.  I have no shortage o...

What’s wrong with me? What should I do?” It is not unusual to feel strong feelings of “love” or affinity toward your therapist. But those feelings probably aren’t what you think. Psychodynamic theory suggests the reason that many people fall in love with their therapist is because they are repeating emotional patterns they experienced as children toward their parents. This behavior and set of feelings was first described by Sigmund Freud who coined the term “transference” to describe it. He discovered transference after noting this many of his mostly-female clients would start describing their own romantic feelings toward him. In some patients, the feelings were not romantic, but instead more ch...
