Question by Rebecca K: Can my P.O. make me do a rehab/couseling program if it was not stated in the terms of probation?

Question by MissJones: Can someone explain to me the difference between Type 1 and Type 2 Diabetes? (In “lay” terms, please!)
I think I’ve been exhibiting some of symptoms of diabetes (examples: extreme thirst, frequent urination, headaches, etc.) and when I mentioned it to a friend (who is obv. not a doctor) she didn’t seem to think I had diabetes. She has a friend who does and he exhibits the classic symptoms everyone thinks of associated with diabetes: typically a “drunk”, woozy and lethargic feeling when the blood sugar is low. Now, I do NOT have symptoms like THAT, however after doing research there are those that I do have — actually what seems like quite a large majority.

Are there any doctors out there who might be able to answer my question? I hate going to the doctor’s with a list of symptoms, ready to produce my own diagnosis.

The above definition sounds perplexing and confusing.; and may leave one with no concrete definition as to who’s mentally healthy and who’s not.

Achieving sobriety and growing in recovery is a progressive, developmental process. There are phases of recovery which are moved through, each with its unique tasks, lessons and skills to be acquired. The first building block of sobriety, the cornerstone in fact, is achieving abstinence. Here is what is meant by abstinence:
