How Is It Possible to Absolutely Categorize Alcoholim as a Disease and Not an Illness?

Question by denveryay: How is it possible to absolutely categorize Alcoholim as a disease and not an illness?
“Disease” is a very loosely defined term in many respects. There are multiple disorders, infenctions, and symptoms that can be typical of a definable disease. Also, a disease must have specific and constant cause(s), which in the case of Alcoholism is the CHOICE to drink ethyl-alcohol. The cause of the “disease” is the recurring and disregarding CHOICE to drink. A choice, however pathological or illogical, doesn’t seem to be appropriate as a cause or a condition of any disease. Despite the negative psychological, physiological, and other results of long-term alcohol abuse, it seems that it shouldn’t be classified as anything more than a treatable mental disorder.

I Want to Start My Own “Support Group”…(read On)?

Question by Joy Borrows: I want to start my own “support group”…(read on)?
I know what it’s like being on my own, feeling severely depressed and whatnot. And, I know lots of people who have been in the same boat as well. Thankfully, I’ve since got my life back on track 🙂 I guess, this has made me wonder…is there a way I can help others out? I’d love to start a little group where people can just come and go to support one another through the though times. It’d be about identifying oneself, knowing what makes them (the people who come to these “support one another” groups) happy and self-satisfied. You wouldn’t have to spill all of your problems of course- it’s more for being able to feel confident that you can cope with how things are going in your life (does that make any sense?) The group would be targeted at high school students (I’m in my last year of high school). I guess it’d be something of a “youth group” minus the religious parts. Do you think I could make this? And if so, how would I do it?

What is the drug policy for the NFL?

Best answer:

Answer by kathy k
Just say no! drug free.

Answer by ???
The NFL has toughened up its drug policy, adding amphetamines to the list of banned performance-enhancers starting this season.

Amphetamines were previously listed as a “substance-abuse drug,” but are now in the same category as steroids and other enhancers that carry much stronger penalties. This season will serve as a transition year, where a first positive test would bring a warning and put a player into the drug program.
