Boyfriend who drinks.

Thursday, June 26th, 2008

My boyfriend is a great guy don’t get me wrong. But lately i’m getting scared he might have a drinkin’ problem. He usually gets drunk once a weekend, sometimes more. He knows i don’t like it, so he trys not to drink when i’m not around, or not as much, but what are some signs that he’s addicted to it, or that he’s on his was to addiction. It just makes me scared sometimes, cause i know his father is an acoholic.

My Parents Smoke Cigarettes…

Wednesday, January 9th, 2008

Hi Sean, I just got your book for Christmas and I really like it.  I need some help though.  My parents have been addicting to smoking cigarettes for a long time now…my dad since he was 15 and I don’t know how long my dad has.  It’s really hard for me though, because I know how much bad they do to them and that me and my brother  -  who has asthma, by the way, so they really harm him.  I want to make them quit or something…but I don’t know how!  It’s also really frustrating because shouldn’t my parents be the ones that tell me not to smoke, but right now I’M the one telling THEM?  HELP?!

my dad, my brother and my sister

Tuesday, August 14th, 2007

ok, so my dad is an alchoholic, and it really sucks, he doesn’t really get drunk, but he’s always drinking at night, my parents are divorced, and i mostly only go to his house on the weekends, but it always smells horrible and hes never really “with it” when he’s home, it has been getting a little better, and he is going to aa now, but he still keeps the beer around the house, which disgusts me to see and smell the empty beer cans, but the thing that really gets me is that my brother and sister go to parties and drink and stuff, my sister just now turned 21, so now she can legally drink but i know she drank before her 21st birthday, as a lot of high schoolers do, i never drink, even if i’m at a party that has beer and stuff at it, growing up with an alcoholic dad who has never been very dependable has shown me what beer and alcohol can do to you, even if you don’t become an alcoholic, plus i don’t wanna take the chance of becoming an alcoholic and screwing up my life and the lives of the people around me, like my dad tends to screw up his life and the rest of the family’s lives

lets make a deal?

Thursday, May 24th, 2007

Me and my boyfriend made a deal. if i stop cutting then he’ll stop dipping, smoking and drinking. do u think thats fair? well, he says he’s only doing it for me. & i tell him that he should really be doing it for himself. but he isnt up for that. i dont know but i’m sure that i’m not only going to stop cutting for him but for my self, friends and family.

Monday, April 16th, 2007

I’ve been going out with this guy for two months. I’m not into the drinking, smoking scene, but he is. I went out with him just to give him a chance. Well it turns out that I really like him, but I don’t know what to do about him smoking and stuff! Please help!!!!

revamp

Wednesday, January 31st, 2007

Over the last few months i really started to slip down hill, i had unsupportive friends, was also drunk most all the time, came to work everyday with a hangover, and didn’t realise that by letting guys be with me was actually demoralising and not a show of my power. It really finally hit me last nite, when i was watching a friend enter into my self destructive behaviour. It was then and there i poured out my $50 bottle of vodka and vowed im turning my life back around. The true friends i have i have always valued but it was after going reading your book it made me realise that they deserve me to be healthy so i can be a better friend for them. 

Im going to work hard at school this year and not use my sexuality to manipulate guys….ur not close to someone just by being with them.  and I’ve stopping my drinking ways i just thank god i never did any harder drugs.

Chemical Effects

a75 Monday, January 29th, 2007

Hi. My parents are addicted to cigarettes, as most people are, but I’ve seen my dad try to quit a thousand times and it’s never worked. I finally asked him why it never worked and he told me that it was a chemical change in you brain. It wporks like this, for any kind of drug, you try it once and you feel good with the high so you want that high again so you use the drug again, and it repeats, but you don’t always get that same high and you want it and you can’t get so you use the drug over and over trying to get that high. But as you do that there are chemical changes going on your brain that make you need the drug not want it. It’s a chemical imbalance and that’s what keeps you hooked. That’s why people who try to stop get depressed, your brain then needs that chemial the drug made it used to. I just wanted to put that out there. People always wonder why someone can’t just stop. It doesn’t work that way.
