Question by MomOf2: Suggestions from recovery alcoholics and spouses of alcoholics?
My husband is a recovering alcoholic of alomst 6 months now. \he’s not the type of alcoholic to drink everyday, he’s a benge drinker. This is the first time that he has been sober this long. Last summer I left him the last time he did it and he moved out of state and I stayed here with our daughter and eventually moved on. As time went by he begged me and begged me to come back to him but I just couldn’t. I didn’t want to live my life like that. Eventually about 6-7 months later he decided to come back here and see our daughter and talked me into bing with him. The last 6 months has been amazing and he is a totally changed person just these past 6 months. He’s never been like this and he did it all on his own, not AA, couseling, nothing. The only thing he did was his doctor put him on celexa to cope with his depression in which he takes one a day and says that it has been helping him. I do love him very much and want things to work and for him to stay sober, but the ratio of alcoholics staying sober is very low. I’m just scared, I love him but can’t do it again if he messes up. Can anybody relate, what can I do?? What about some suggestions from other alcoholics??

Answer by #1FerretMom
Just stay positive, avoid stresses and encourage a healthy lifestyle. You could be his support system. Also, smoking and other addictions should be avoided if not cut out because of the association between the two, but it sounds like he is doing great. I have known people who died from drinking themselves to death, so keep that in mind.

Question by : Schizophrenia symptoms?
Let me ask you something:

If you have had the so called “symptoms” of “schizophrenia” at some point or another in your life and never been labeled as “schizophrenic” does that make you not schizophrenic?

If you have ever been labeled as “schizophrenic” and never actually had the symptoms of schizophrenia does that make you more schizophrenic?

What do “you” understand the symptoms of “schizophrenia” to be?

Has anybody gotten these answers yet? No, I didnt think so?

1. Evidence That Establishes the validity of “schizophrenia” “depression” or other “major mental Illnesses” as biologically-based brain diseases.

2. Evidence For A Physical Diagnostic Exam such as a scan, blood, urine, genes, spinal fluid, etc that can distinguish individuals with these diagnoses (prior to treatment with drugs), from individuals without these diagnoses.

3. Evidence For a Base-line Standard of a neurochemically balanced “normal” personality, against which an “imbalance” can be measured and corrected by pharmaceutical means.

4. Evidence That Any Psychiatric Drug can correct a “chemical imbalance” attributed to a psychiatric diagnoses, and is any thing more than a non-specific alterer of physiology.

5. Evidence That Any Drug can reliably decrease the likelihood of violence or suicide.

6. Evidence That Psychotropic Drugs do not in fact increase the overall likelihood of violence and suicide

Best answer:

Answer by homeward07
The history of Psychology reveals that the stranger the term, the greater the income, for those who spent their time as voyeurs of the bizarre.

There is no mental illness. Nor physical ailments. Medicine has conned several generations into believing that God made mistakes. That the human body is imperfect, and unable to correct all imbalances, naturally. They use microscopes because they seek what simply doesn’t exist.

THE FACTS OF LIFE

Each of us is different. Some express themselves in ways that cause envy, others, in ways that inspire imitation. Still others do things that we may think odd, but if left alone, will be accepted as normal, given enough time.

Stay far from doctors, and anyone else who has paid money for “education.”

You are normal. Just because people stare at you, or some journalist may one day take footage of you for all to see, due to some spectacular interest you’ve suddenly chosen…know that you belong here as much as me, or anyone else.

Can you imagine the embarrassment of millions as they are shown that there never was cancer, autism or aging? It was all illusion, for the sake of filling hospitals, and bank accounts.

Try not to kill anyone without fair warning. Other than that, have life at your own pace.
