Do you believe that people really "recover" from addiction to drugs and alcohol?
Do people really fully ever recover from drug or alcohol abuse, or is there always that thought, or that chemical in the brain that could someday lead them to relapse?
For drugs you need more than just that chemical switch in the brain.
The only way to recover from drugs is to visit a clinic.
I have had a son who took drugs many years ago for most of his teenage years ..he is clean now and has been for 20 years ....he is now married and has a lovely family I am very confident that he will never relapse and I think if a person WANTS to genuinly be free of alcohol or drugs.... then once they have taken the steps to break free.. then they will stay free, but they do need the help and support of those around them...and it does take a lot of love , infinate patience,understanding and strength to stand by a person in that situation.
Yes I believe so. If they really want to recover from it. It takes a lot of determination, courage and hardwork.

Rehabilitation should be an emotional, psychological and spiritual rehab. Support from family and friends is paramount. As a start detox is essential. http://hubpages.com/hub/Detox-Foods

They said the Jews and the Allies made the whole thing up. According to them, the Nazis treated their POWs with...

Do people really believe the government would help in a true national disaster?Not that the government wouldn't want to help, but if the world was in chaos do you really believe your government would have the ability to help YOU? If not have you prepared for that type of situation?
