Addiction
|
Un regard très interessant sur les toxicomanies qui offre des perspectives sans doute plus efficaces que la simple prohibition. A very interesting look at addiction that offers prospects probably more effective than the simple prohibition. Le traitement des personnes comme si elles ont eu la valeur, et une part égale dans notre société, ne résoudra pas tous nos problèmes, mais elle est un bon point de départ. La prohibition juste ne fonctionne pas. Become a member now and get a free tote bag.

This is some great insight into addiction. I've seen a few TED talks about addiction that had close to the same idea. From what I've gathered, addiction is a social and cultural problem, and until those social and cultural problems are eradicated, there will be addicts. In this world, it seems, to me, that often we are praising the apathetic (Trump anyone?). It seems, to me, that this whole "look out for yourself and don't care about your fellow man" has insidiously poisoned our society. Thank you for writing this, I learned something and I got to know a little more about you. Live life to it's fullest! If you're bored, Read Hugs Gypsy

Thank you for writing this, I learned something and I got to know a little more about you. You're right- there is a frighteningly large constituency for social Darwinism in America. This goes against the grain for me. We ought to be caring for one another and trying to see to it that everyone has a chance to succeed. Become a member now and get a free tote bag.

Drinking has never been much of an issue for me. I do drink more now that I'm retired, because I don't have to get up in the morning unless I feel like it. Sigh. I should probably drink less anyhow. Become a member now and get a free tote bag.

I've had friends who went cold turkey for a variety of reasons and successfully quit. Only to take it up again when something unpleasant happens. Not sure if that actually counts. I think you need a strong motivation to permanently break any addiction and I'm Glad you've found that! Myself - I've never touched a cigarette in my life.

You're quite right- quitting is one thing, staying quit is another. I wish I could say the same thing- that I had never touched a cigarette. Become a member now and get a free tote bag.

Men and women who've been able to break the tremendous pull of drugs once and for all, have learned a secret of life that will stay with them for all the remaining years of their lives. All of us humans have things to learn in this life and the ability to pull free of things that harm our bodies is probably foremost in that learning curve. For myself, Smoking and Drinking were my enemies in the first half of life. I needed to give both up together in order to give up smoking cigarettes-- which was the most difficult thing I've ever had to do... Stopping alcohol was not too difficult for me. Other drugs have never had any pull on me. a fine post..

We all have our problems and they're immensely important to us and to the ones who care about us. If we can try to treat our troubled citizens as if they belong, as if they have value, just like we'd want our own loved ones to be treated, we'd be well ahead of the game.
