When is a drug not a drug?, |I'll tell you when most people use it for pleasure that's when!.
A good example is Amy Winehouse, here's a girl who did loads of illeagal drugs but in the end alcohol killed here and not all the smack crack or anything else that she snorted smoked or ingested, but still even today you arn't a drug addicted if your hooked on it oh no that's far to horrible a term for for it.
I wish they would just say illegal and leagal drugs rather than drugs and alcohol.
The grim reaper doesn't care how you clock out your goning to die from an adiction to a drug who cares if it's legal or not when your 6 feet under who gives two hoots call it what it is a drug and stop using stupid words to make it seem less harmful than it really is and to defend it's consumption by a majority simply as it's the only legal drug were allowed, we even have armies of people who go snob on it and waffle on about it tasting of bizare flavours to make them seem more "hip" than those poor b*****ds coverd in p**s who live in the local park out of their heads on supermarket smack.
Most people can handle it but for those that can't it's just another monkey for their backs so call it what it is a dangerous drug but one you can have in your home.
It's like violence, Blair can send a jet plane to drop a bombs on innocent people but that's OK as he's the Prime Minister but if you want to club a guy whose broken into your house and has a knife you'll get done if you so much as pick up a weapon to defend yourself, and for god sake don't kill him or you'll get life but Blair gets a job from the UN as a peace envoy WOW!, a few months ago he was cuddling Gadffi then something went pear shaped and Dave set the dogs on him and just after we let out the Lockerby bomber as dear old rubber face was our best mate again, one minute he was being "rehabilitated" by the west then the next thing he was bombed stabbed gooses and generally stuffed like a live turkey before being shot by a rabble of mad max types near a drainage ditch all high on God and khat, I didn't like the old git but you do have to question what mindset the new lot have go when they do this in front of the world press!, then air it but seeming he's got blood on his hands (and oil) it's ok, if that's the case then what about Blair then or Cameron then after all murder is murder it's the same thing in the end but one is ok the other isn't, an who says poilitics doesn't do humour!.

Killed my stepdaughter's Mum at the age of 29 :roll:
Just 'socially acceptable' l suppose :???:

I can't phone my mum after 4pm, if I do she slurs her words, is aggressive and offensive and has no recollection of the call the next day.
3 years ago she suffered 2 slipped discs while falling down in a drunken state, she was in lots of pain for 6 months, bed ridden and unable to drink.
I know this sounds awful...but for me and my siblings when we visited her daily and sat chatting it was wonderful, we had our lovely mum back.
Needless to say as soon as she recovered enough to get up and go downstairs she resumed her drinking a bottle of bells a day.
Alcoholism is an illness, it's a disease that is socially acceptable.
Thankyou Mel for starting this thread, I'm crying, because I've never talked about mums problems to any outsiders and it feel like typing this out is a release.

Poppy, I felt very moved on reading your post. I'm so sorry that your Mum is so addicted to alcohol. It must be a constant worry for you and your siblings. It doesn't sound as though your Dad is in a position to help your Mum to break her addiction either.
Have you considered contacting an organisation called Al-Anon, which offers support to relatives of alcoholic people :?: They have a help-line which could be useful for you. Here's a link to their website:
http://www.al-anonuk.org.uk/
It was very brave of you to discuss your Mum's illness on here, and I hope that you can find some help and support.

Thankyou Joan, it has helped me so much, although its made me very sad. X

I'm sorry to hear that you are struggling with a post-op infection on top of everything else. I do hope that you will ring Al-Anon because they are experts in the field of alcoholism, so I'm sure they will offer support for all your family. It's often the case that the families suffer a great deal watching the person they love in the grip of addiction.
Take care, and I hope that you will soon feel better once the antibiotics have done their work.
if it not alcohol or drugs it could be exercise or chocolate an addictive personality can be affected by all sorts of things and most taken to extremes can lead to health problems or death val
I hope you found some comfort in Joans very sensitive response. Wishing you well soon.

I guesss it's ok though, deserting as the government make money from it, same with the cigs..
Ridiculous.. Yet nobody has died from using cannabis, not using it safely anyway, and yes, it can be used safely.. Without harmful effects.
Sorry, ranted..
Hey, Mell... It wasn't US that let the lockerbie murderer free.. It was the Scots.
Right..
Enough said.

well done it can only come from your self no one can make you give up would have been awful never to have met you on here you help a lot val
I am like you Del I still drink but the minds not happy with what's going on, I love a drink but it seems it's running me right now which is odd as I've always been on top of it, 3 and a half years of work stress haven't helped but it's got to be put back in the bottle sooner rather than later or it will lead me down the same road my dad and grand parents did.
Odd thing is I don't have an " I've had an enough switch" these days, I use to have I don't seem to get really messed up just merry but normally wake up like I've been hit with a bat, God when I was young parties were great things go get hammered go home up next day all chipper now it's totally the opposite!, also I can't and don't drink in the day as it really messes my head up it has a totally different effect so I just don't do it, if you watch east enders they seem to live in a pub day or night no wonder their all grim and violent on there.
do not drink much at all but when do takes so much longer to recover now i 50 lol
This is second only to publicans and bar staff.
Makes you think, doesn't it :?:
