GOOD MORNING CHARLIE & URBY!!
THERE IS MUCH MIXED OPINION AS TO WHETHER
ALCOHOLISM IS INHERITED OR AQUIRED...I'M
STILL NOT SURE HOW I FEEL ABOUT IT..I
PERSONALLY 'THINK' ITS A COMBINATION OF
BOTH...
ANYWAY HERE IS A LIST OF 20 QUESTIONS I
HAD POSTED BEFOR AND THEY ARE WELL WORTH
RE-POSTING:
Are you an alcoholic?
Do you lose time from work due to drinking?
Is drinking making your home life unhappy?
Do you drink because you are shy with other
people?
Is drinking affecting your reputation?
Have you ever felt remorse after drinking?
Have you gotten into financial difficulties
as a result of drinking?
Do you turn to lower companions and an
inferior environment when drinking?
Does your drinking make you careless of your
family's welfare?
Has your ambition decreased since drinking?
Do you crave a drink at a definite time of
day?
Do you want a drink the next morning?
Does drinking cause you to have difficulty in
sleeping?
Has your efficiency decreased since
drinking?
Is drinking jeopardizing your job or
business?
Do you drink to escape from worries or
trouble?
Do you drink alone?
Have you ever had a complete loss of memory
as a result of drinking?
Has your physician ever treated you for
drinking?
Do you drink to build up your
self-confidence?
Have you ever been to a hospital or
institution on account of drinking?
If you have answered YES to any one of the
questions, there is a definite warning that
you may be an alcoholic.
If you have answered YES to any two, the
chances are that you are an alcoholic.
If you have answered YES to three or more,
you are definitely an alcoholic

KNOWING VERY LITTLE ABOUT ANOREXIA, I HAD TA
DO SOME QUICK RESEARCH, HERE IS WHAT I CAME
UP WITH SO FAR:
Medical treatment for anorexia
The first priority in anorexia treatment is
to address and stabilize any serious health
issues. Hospitalization may be necessary to
prevent starvation, suicide, or a medical
crisis. Dangerously thin anorexics may also
need to be hospitalized until they reach a
less critical weight. Outpatient treatment is
an option when the patient is not in
immediate medical danger.
Getting back to a normal weight is no easy
task, especially for those being treated
against their will. Fear of weight gain is
extraordinarily frightening to people with
anorexia, and forced weight gain even more
so. But research shows that the closer body
weight is to normal at the end of treatment,
the greater the chance of recovery, so weight
restoration should be a top treatment goal
