How to Overcome Your Video Game AddictionEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Many of us grew up learning to play tag or hide and seek. Others of us played or still play cards with family and friends, and still others enjoyed playing board games, but very few of us ever found ourselves becoming addicted to such pastimes. The latest advancements in the game playing world present just that possibility though — addiction. With the creation of the game console, and then computer-based video games, we were introduced to a new world of game playing interaction. These games evolved so that soon the player was able to mold game characters after himself, create empires, and control worlds. This further...

One of the toughest thing for an addict or alcoholic to face is when their substance abuse has gotten out of control and they have to check into a drug rehab treatment facility.

A Little About the Paramount Drug Treatment Center and Its FunctionsEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
The one major problem with drug treatment is that it is hardly ever permanent. The majority of the patients go back to their old ways a little while after they leave their rehabilitation centers. It is hence necessary for these centers to ensure that the patient is absolutely cured of his addiction before he is given a discharge. The patients of drug abuse show better signs of improvement if they stay in a place, which is comfortable. The drug rehabilitation centers that use the program that is based on the works of L. Ron Hubbard, are the ones where rehab that is delivered that is meant for the long-term success of these ...

It is important however to acknowledge that when bad habits become priorities and your every waking moment is consumed by thoughts of when you will next be able to indulge in the detrimental activity, it’s time to make a change.

If overindulgence in sexual activity is considered an addiction, those who overindulge in eating should also be considered addicts. Eating and sex are appropriately considered similar activities in psychological terms. Eating and sex are basic human needs and desires. They are always on our minds, either consciously or unconsciously. Both activities are required for the perpetuation of human life, and in order to ensure that end, they both afford gratification for those who partake. Freud classified hunger and sexual desire to be functions of the powerful id. In human history, overindulgence in food has rarely been possibl...

How successful is neurofeedback for alcoholism? One recent study found that, during a twenty-four month observation period after the neurofeedback therapy sessions had ended, eight of the ten participants did not drink.

Alcoholism is a chronic, progressive, and potentially fatal disease. Once it has developed, the victim loses control over his or her drinking habits, and family and social relationships are greatly disrupted. The cause of alcoholism seems to be the interaction between a possible hereditary predisposition, the effects of ethyl alcohol (the basic ingredient in alcoholic drinks), and the use of alcohol as means of coping with life. There are over 10 million Americans who suffer from alcoholism. Approximately 55 million family members and friends are directly affected by these people.

Some alcoholics are so severely gone by the time they finally reach rehab that they take years and years to recover. By gone I mean, wasted. A wasted youth, a wasted body, basically a wasted life; in all reality, many more alcoholics die from this disease than you would think. One reason why this might happen all too often is the fact that it was just too late. A good friend to an alcoholic is one who sees the warning signs early on, and intervenes. There is no point in dragging the process out and if a friend is close enough, they will begin to see that danger lies ahead. The worst thing to happen to anyone with a challen...

ATLAS.ti tames your dataEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
i would have lost my mind by now if it weren’t for atlas.ti. i’m working with a corpus of 24 scholarly articles published in information/library science journals, picking out examples of marketing techniques used to promote electronic resources at the authors’ institutions. in addition to keeping a list of the actual techniques i’m interested in recounting the authors’ words in my summary, to help keep the techniques in context with the institutions. i started this in excel and it soon got out of control, all that copying and pasting into cells, and the inevitable scrolling. with atlas...

Why I Quit MarijuanaEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
My motivation to quit marijuana, pot, cannabis or whatever you personally call it, was because I had gotten into a rut of smoking it all day, every day. Late at night or early morning, utterly convinced I enjoyed it, I would sit, roll and smoke joint after joint. As the years rolled on marijuana seemed more like self-prescribed medication to keep me calm than the fun, recreational drug I once considered it to be. Knocking on my dealer’s door became a symbol of need and at times desperation. I often looked like I had been dragged through a hedge backwards and I completely lost my self-confidence to communicate with ev...

I DID IT! Making money from home!Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
For those of you that read my blog…it has been a while since I last posted. Since then, I have had another baby and gotten a rather successful freelance writing career off the ground. After learning I was pregnant with my 4th baby last February, I knew that I could no longer continue to work as a NICU nurse and stay sane! My family always comes first, so I decided to leave my job and stay at home full time to get the house and the children in order. BUT….we did need a bit more money each month, so I decided to try and make money from home. Now for all of you stay at home mommies who are looking for a little ext...

Steroid Addiction - More Than Just Skin DeepEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Steroid addiction, just like the dependency for other drugs, can often be a hard habit to break. There are many psychological components at play that make treating this condition quite complex. As steroids are types of drugs, there is no doubt that they cause a strong physical dependence. However, cravings for the substance itself, as well as the comfort in having a habit, are not the only things to overcome. The reason that many people begin using these drugs and body building excessively in the first place is due to a feeling of inadequacy. Users are unhappy with some aspect of their lives and, as a result, filter a grea...

Addiction Help is a Thought AwayEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
I just finished Byron Katie’s book Loving What Is and it is profound. As I was reading it, I kept on thinking about addiction and how we think that we’re powerless over these chemicals. But I have come to believe that addiction help is just a thought away. If you are not familiar with Byron Katie, here is the basic premise: if you believe your thoughts you suffer. She asks “Who would you be without your story?” She calls her process “The Work” and it consists of four questions. You think a thought, let’s say you think “I’m never going to be able to stay sober.” Th...

Dry Drunk - How Abstinence Alone is Not Enough!Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
As a psychiatrist, I have had the experience of treating “dry drunks” over my twenty years of practice. A dry drunk is a person who quits drinking alcohol, but does not address any of his issues that led to drinking excessively. The client will say, “I feel depressed and anxious”. He admits there has been an alcohol problem in the past. This type of client usually gave up alcohol after experiencing legal problems (such as a DWI) or possibly a medical problem (that was serious enough to put a halt to the alcohol consumption). Maybe his spouse threatened to leave him which “scared” him int...

Addiction is Not All About Drugs and AlcoholEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
“Being abnormally tolerant to and dependent on something that is psychologically or physically habit-forming (especially alcohol or narcotic drugs)” The above is a dictionary definition of addiction. Although tolerance to, and physical dependance upon a substance, is not the medical definition of addiction. Which is: “an addiction is a chronic neurobiologic disorder that has genetic, psychosocial, and environmental dimensions and is characterized by one of the following: the continued use of a substance despite its detrimental effects, impaired control over the use of a drug (compulsive behavior), and pre...
