Question by This girl: Confession: I am an alcoholic, I have been very good at hiding it, how do I assure them, that I need help?
I drink as much as I can, I am a young mother, my children our young, I have found a treatment facility that includes your children in your recovery, but since I have been AMAZING at hiding my alcoholism, all of my family and friends keep telling me that I could probably stop with “outpatients” or “you do not need to stop drinking entirely, you are fun to drink with”, the catch 22 is these are the same people who tell me, when I am openly drunk around them, that I “shouldnt drink so much” or
“you cant handle your alcohol” or you are a “mean drunk”, I know what they say is true, but the thing is, I CANNOT STOP DRINKING! even when I try, I cannot, I feel that. for my children, I should get help, and not to feel ashamed, since in the long run, they are going to be much happier, but I have everyone around me, in a sense, criticizing me for wanting to get this help! I am confused, I know I do not tell them all, but I still feel that they should see I am asking for help, and embrace it, ??

Question by Rachel: After suicide attempt my brother is very reckless?
My younger brother is 22. He has severe social anxiety disorder and depression. 1 month ago he became heavily intoxicated and took an entire bottle of a prescription barbiturate which he got illegally somehow (the same drug that is used to put down large dogs at the vet). He was found unconscious at a stop light with barely any pulse at all. He was rushed to the ER by a state police officer and survived almost with no ill effects except some minor amnesia that will go away with time. I lost my license because I had forgotten to get a ticket so the other night I asked my brother if he could pick me up from my friend Amanda’s house and he showed up HEAVILY intoxicated. I walked out to the car and he was sitting in his car popping Ativan and Klonopin by the handfuls. He was not trying to kill himself he just quote “wanted to relax and take the edge off a little” he also drives very recklessly (Which is unlike him…..btw i DID NOT let him drive home that night even though i didn’t have a license I drove because he was obviously in no shape to drive) I keep asking him why he does this and he says to me he will not die and he likes the feeling of alcohol mixed with dangerously large amounts of benzodiazapines. He is living with me now under my care but he somehow manages to find drugs and alcohol even when i dispose of them (give them to the police). What can i do? An why is my brother acting this way? He NEVER abused drugs or alcohol before his suicide attempt. He refuses to see a doctor. Can i force him to see a doctor?
Please help me. I don’t know what to do and I’m only 27. My brother is the world to me, I love him with every inch of my heart. I just want my brother back. I want him to enjoy life. I want us to be happy again. I’m so sorry for this long message but I NEED someones help. Thank you so much everyone, I will choose a best answer. -Rachel
He is kinda my responsibility. Our parents are no longer living. I have done ALOT of reading and so far I think it would be safe to say he has SEVERE social anxiety disorder, depression, and possibly PTSD from when he was in the USMC. He is currently on paid administrative leave from the USMC until they determine if he is fit to go back to combat or not. Which I personally think thats the LAST thing he needs to do.

Schools Get Very Serious About Alcohol Testing

The first and the foremost step are taken by the parents and teachers together. Faculty and parents are not trying to be hard about students. It’s more of a matter of life and death. One preventable drunk driving accident isn’t worth not doing it. Some student balk at the intrusiveness of the tests, claiming that there must be another way to take preventable action. Others claim that while testing at the dance is a good idea but what about the rest of the school year?

How do we test perhaps the students who don’t attend dances or other events? Alcohol Testing Devices should be implicated at High School.

Question by Ever Hopeful!: How early is “very early” in symptoms?
I read about when pregnancy symptoms are supposed to start all the time, and they almost always simply say something usually happens “very early” in the pregnancy. Just how early is that? What have you heard? What have you experienced? Any websites with actual timelines? Thanks! (By the way, I’m in my 2ww, so I’m obsessing about what my body could be doing).
