Alcoholic needs booze at 5 am to stop withdrawel symptoms, how would they detox and get to rehab?

Posted by admin in Drug & Alcohol Laws on October 22, 2011

Question by Sweetness: Alcoholic needs booze at 5 am to stop withdrawel symptoms, how would they detox and get to rehab?
Just curious. My sister-in-law Deanna is the mother of 4 kids, two adults, two minors. Her alcoholism has progressed a lot in the past 3 years since I first met her until now. The kids tell me that now she is having to get up and drink early in the morning to manage all of her withdrawel symptoms. I don’t think she is going to get help, but i’m curious about how would someone this advanced detox and get help? Please share a story, or any information that you know about this. Thanks in advance.
just looking for answers to the question, not so much for my sis-in-law as she will never get treatment – intervention won’t work, long family history, gets drunk daily with hubby, kids, and her mother. Yes, I’ve called everyone under the sun about protection for kids – no response. I’ve been told being an alcoholic isn’t a crime by childrens protective services and law enforcement. Just curious if she did get help, the medical side of what would be necessary to get her detoxed and into a rehab. Thanks much for all the answers!

the best way to get help for her would be to contact a rehab facility. First your sister in law needs to realize and want help. If you don’t know where you can find the nearest or best rehab facility, i’m sure you can contact a doctor or hospital and get references. I hope your sister in law gets help soon.

How can I stop my ex from moving my child across the country?

Posted by admin in Court Ordered Rehabilitation on January 25, 2011

Question by stephanie l: How can I stop my ex from moving my child across the country?
I am an addict in recovery with 19 months clean time. My ex-husband divorced me and got sole custody of my daughter three years ago while I was in jail for drug related offenses. (She will be 9 yrs old in March 2007) He has blocked every attempt at contact. Recently, the court has ordered visitation. I the first visitation was supervised by my daughter’s court appointed Guardian Ad Litem, and after a few minutes of hesitancy, it was like we had never been apart. The second time was unsupervised at my elder daughter’s house. When he dropped her off, she acted scared to be left with me until he left. Then she was affectionate, loving, and we had a great time together. She was also extremely happy to see her siblings, whom he has cut her off from also. When it was time for him to pick her up, she again acted fearful of us, and refused to take with her the gifts we had given her. Now he has filed with the court to move to Arizona. Just getting visitation has already drained me financially.

Get off Yahoo answers and get to an attorney. That person is in a position to help you. I am sure there is legal aid in your state based on the income.
That is your best recourse.

% of alcoholism in NJ? How to stop it?

Posted by admin in Drug & Alcohol Laws on December 8, 2010

Question by LungCancerAssociation: % of alcoholism in NJ? How to stop it?
Curiously, I just wanted to know what is the % of alcholism within adults in the state of New Jersey, USA.

Also, just wondering, what steps can someone take to completely change the state law and render alcohol as an Illegal drug?

All answers, even with little information, are appreciated.
Point to NOTE: I did not ask for a Constitutional amendment in the entire United States. Just like they have different driving ages, can’t we simply ban it in one state, New Jersey in this case.

Answer by Eiliat
Alcohol will never again be an illegal drug in the US. Prohibition was tried,it failed so incredibly horribly that it was the only constitutional amendment to ever be repealed. If you insist on trying, you just have to lobby Congress for a new amendment.

No, there is no way to ban alcohol in one state. It would be an abridgement of personal rights. Even if it were technically possible to outlaw alcohol, doing so in one state would be disastrous. Riots would be everywhere.

Give your answer to this question below!

How can I stop acting cold to my parents because of their son who is an bad drunk ?

Posted by admin in Uncategorized on May 6, 2010

My brother has a drinking problem, he is 33 yrs old…He went to rehab for 35 days (court ordered)…He came home 3 weeks ago and started drinking again (that night). He is now in a hospital since he tried to take his own life the other day, which I have no sympathy for since it’s all for attention… Drinking issue affects everyone…That is what some people don’t realize…This has been going on for 15 years in my life..I’m the youngest and boy was it a tough life with him…My parents want the best for him but how some parents react is to hide and baby their kids…He is 33 but when he needs something he is 12 again…My brother lost his family…3 beautiful kids and his wife and he is only an inch a way from losing me…I have his kids pretty much every weekend and love them with all my heart…their mom is really the same as my brother with drinking except she isn’t violent but she is not a good role model at all… but according to social services she is great..I refuse to mess with the system cause I couldn’t bear it to backfire and me to never see the kids or even not see them for 2 weeks…My problem is I get angry and fight with my parents over him all the time..I get pissed at the mention of his name..even though I do care I refuse to admit it to them..:example: I live 45min from my family because of my brother… I just called my mom for something totally unrelated to my brother and within 3 seconds of “Hello” she was telling me about my brother…(same story over and over again) I cut it off and say “I can’t do this, I don’t care”..she gets upset and says…I’ll talk to you later…I’m at a loss how to handle myself…IDEAS???

Am I right to stop visitations and wait for him to take me to court?

Posted by admin in Uncategorized on May 1, 2010

I have been court ordered to give visitations to my children’s father. He is a recovering addict. (Hooked to drugs) He is currently in a half-way house to sober up for the time being. This is his 4th trip to a rehab type program.

I have reason to believe from my daughters mouth that he has touched her.
He doesn’t plan his visitations until the day before visitation so I can’t plan anything for my day until the day of.
He has made me late for work 3 times for not showing up on time for pick up.
He has a violent past against me. I have a restraining order against him.
According to the parenting guidelines in my state he is legally suppose to give me his address and refuses to.
He has taken the kids over to a womans house that we both know has done and sold drugs before.
(His brother took them over there today)
He was suppose to take the kids to church to observe Easter Sunday and did not take them as he promised he would.
He has also admitted that he calls the kids for an excuse to talk to me.
I have spoken with an attorney and he said I could stop visitations but i could get caught with contempt although every thing I have it should get thrown out.

I am trying to protect my kids and the courts here aren’t helping.
