Alcohol Abuse Advice

Posts Tagged ‘possible’

Question by cupidgirl: Is it possible?
I have a very difficult background- My “family” is filled with mentally ill (some more severly than others) people who abuse eachother & use drugs and alcohol. I grew up in a very dysfunctional household & left when I was about 15 years old because I knew even then that I was in an abusive & unhealthy environment & wanted a better life for myself. With the support of friends I managed to get through school & have always lived my life respectably. When I was 19 I had my daughter & her father was killed in a car accident when she was two. I have raised her alone ever since. I am very healthy, do not use drugs or smoke (I have an occasional glass of wine), workout, educate myself on new subjects constantly, involve myself in empathetic programs for others, and have been in a few relationships. Until this day I choose not to interact with my family including my parents because I just dont see the point in forcing myself to interact with people who have always been… awful to me
I also do not trust these people to be normal around my daughter. I truly want a relationship with a man who is healthy, educated, & prosperous. Someone who comes from a good family & who will know how to be a good husband & father. My question is, will such a man even consider being with me since I have such an unpleasant story behind me?

Is It Possible To Relieve My Husband’s Discomfort?

Question:

Please help my 42-year-old husband, who is being slowly driven mad by an extremely itchy scrotum. He has consulted his GP often and been prescribed many types of topical creams including hydrocortisone, all to no avail. The only temporary relief is a topical anti-itch cream from the chemist. His underwear is hand-washed in non-bio powder and well rinsed. There’s no rash, no infestation. Could it be diet? We are prepared to try anything !

Answer:

The most common cause of scrotal itch is skin lesions such as psoriasis and eczema, when people can scratch so intensely that they make the skin bleed. But these conditions are of course visible and you say there is no rash, so we must think again. One possibility is nervous itching which is not uncommon, especially as the scrotum is an erogenous zone where the nerves are very sensitive. The scrotum can itch with or without any skin lesions, as can the scalp, back, legs, arms and buttocks. All you need to do is scratch once and the urge to continue to do so is uncontrollable.

Recovering from an Alcohol Addiction is possible at Alcohol rehab centers

The most important part of overcoming alcohol addiction wants to have a different life. Not everyone actually wants to quit drinking when they make the decision to overcome their addiction; many times it is more about wanting a different life than wanting not to drink.

Twelve Step programs in alcohol rehab centers are very successful at helping people change their lives and overcome alcohol dependence, and many people find these groups invaluable in overcoming their addiction to alcohol and moving on with a more productive and useful, not to mention much happier, life.

In recent years the FDA has approved a medication for use in the United States by people seeking to overcome alcohol dependence. Campral is a prescription drug, and you will need to talk with your doctor about whether this medication is appropriate for you.

Life with an Alcoholic May Not be Possible

If you have lived with an alcoholic for years and feel despair, you may need a change. No one should live without love and happiness. Sometimes it is not possible to stay with the alcoholic because you feel alone and helpless. You need something more in your life and the person is not able to give you what you need. Everyone needs to feel love and sometimes the person that you thought was the love of your life turns out to be your worst nightmare, literally. Sometimes life with an alcoholic is not possible and you may have to leave.

Question by guynspeedos: Is there a name for a possible psychological condition for men who like to wear speedos and “skimpy” attire?
This has nothing to do with homosexuality or exhibitionism. I am completely hetero and do not desire to show my privates, I just find wearing “speedos”, squarecuts, nylon-tricot jogging shorts and shorts with a 3 to 4 inch inseam to be far more comfortable than what is now “in style” for men these days. Unlike addictions such as alcoholism, narcotics, gambling and pornography, I see no harm except for the negative social side effects of wearing these items. Can’t publically wear these items without the half-hidden giggles, scowls and cat calls so it has turned me into something of a recluse. Just wondering if there was an actual name to this “condition”. Seems like woman can devulge in this with no problem, an entire section in Wal-Mart is devoted to this and there’s Victorias Secret – it’s just a big faux pas for straight men.
Just have to add this has nothing do with cross-dressing, transvestitism or any of that. I’m a man and not ashamed of it. I just wish I could wear a little less when swimming and around the yard without all the negative vibes. Not sure but I may have an OCD.
