How deadly really are illicit drugs?
I have been around a lot of Meth, Ecstasy, Cocaine, prescription drugs, and have only known 1 person to die from Heroin (it was actually a histamine reaction to morphine present)…but have at the same time known tons of people to die in Iraq or on motorcycles. How deadly are illicit drugs really and does the danger come from the processing or contaminants present and not the actual illicit drug?
IS really such a condtion as DRY DRUNK ?
I have heard this term used to make fun of the president . He abused alcohol and claimed to have found god at the age of 40 and stopped .
Some who disagree with him call him a Dry Drunk a pergorative used in AA to describe a person who does not use alcohol but is not a AA member.
Reading this site set up to look as a offical medical site

I wonder if Dry Drunk does not fit closer to Anti social personality disorder.

Why does one have to attend AA to stop drinking or moderate when 95 % of those who go to AA leave in a year and most heavy drinkers stop or moderate on thier own How can Not going to AA be used s a diagnostic criteria or a disorder?
AA is but one of many ways to stop or moderate .
3 fedral courts have found AA to be religion the Supream court let stand a ruling it is . .
So why is not going to a relgious service a disorder ?
The Serneity Prayer is a distinctly Christain prayer that has be atributed to a few different people one being Reinhold Niebuhr , se this you migh hav to register http://www.boston.com/news/globe/ideas/articles/2003/12/14/beyond_serenity/
To say AA is not a religion is like saying that Ben an Jerries is not an ice cream
You might not like them or thier produicts but they in fact make ice cream
I a still thik it is perogative used to mean a person is not drinkoing and not in a 12 step porgram I have had heard it used NBy 12 steppers in reffence to members of SMART SOS. and others .
Why should 12 steppers be concerned that others have found a way to abstainwoith puit AA /NA GA Ad nauseam .
It still seems like perogative used to make fun of a person who has not totalty devoted thier lives to a 12 step religigiouis program. which leads me to a ne qeustion to ask thanks again and RaySNY keep up the goodwrok

Who has gone to drug rehab and really changed?
I want to know how many people out there have went willingly or forced into a drug treatment center and really made a positive change.
I left my fiance about 3 weeks ago and a few days after he got into an accident. he was charged with a DUI and child services took the kids he had custody of. he checked into a facility that is only 2 weeks long. he says he is commited to changing his life, thats wonderful but i have heard it a million times, however this is the first time he has been at an in patient rehab, he is 38 and been doing hard drugs and lots of them for 20 years. I just think he needs more than two weeks. i am pushing him to go to sober living for 6 months but he wants me to move back in and get moving on his life with his family. Hey i want that too, but its just not that easy!! What do you think? does anyone know the statistics on rehab centers?
