Is cirrhosis of the liver ever caused by anything other than alcoholism or drug addiction?
Question by KISS MY ASSATAR FF: Is cirrhosis of the liver ever caused by anything other than alcoholism or drug addiction?
a foster sister of mine died of this Monday and she was only 48. I asked my foster mom if she was an alcoholic and she didn’t answer me, not that it matters, I’m in recovery… I just wondered. I didn’t know her that well, she went to live with my foster parents after I had graduated and moved on. But 48, it’s still so sad.

child abuse reporting?
Question by Freeport77541: child abuse reporting?
I called in to provide information about a neighbor who is quite abusive to his child and has many domestic disputes almost on a daily basis last month. The local children and youth never investigated. I called in yesterday about the father was outside smoking what appeared to be illegal drugs with some of his friends. I called in again and a person from children and youth went to the house yesterday and spent about 5 minutes outside talking with just the mother and then drove directly over to my home and was very abusive with me and told me she was going to have the district attorney file charges against me for a false report. This is not right and i will never ever call in anything again.
i called the local office like many of you suggested but the supervisor was only a voice mail. I kept leaving messages and then was able to catch her late on friday but she was also very rude and had a “careless” attitude. What is wrong with people and where do i go from here ? I even called the tv news station but they were not interested in any information i have

You have pointed out one of the main things that needs to be there “willingness” good job!
I’m an addict in recovery (5yrs) and I know each person is different. some just quit,others use AA/NA, and then some need a combo of the AA and therapy… One thing that all addicts lack is the ability to cope with life on life’s terms. If an addict doesn’t learn to cope then they tend to just switch addictions… from drugs to others i.e. eating, gambleing, workaholic, thank you guys for your answers and I’ll give this question till the end of the day..

Answer by debb_michele
I had gotten into drugs and alcohol for a while, and I’m only 15. The fact is I didn’t want to stop, no matter who said what I just didn’t. So I found out the hard way, that you cannot quite unless you really [[100%]] want to. It took someone special leaving me for me to quite. But I have alot of friends into drugs and they give up alot for drugs… I haven’t seen any of the therapy things working for them, because they didn’t want to quit. Hope that answers your question, just my opinion.
Answer by lotus4yoga
Well, I don’t like the AA thing about “I’m powerless.” Plus they seem sort of cult-like. Most people quit drugs on their own when they’ve just had enough of it. But they never show up in statistics cause nobody knows – they don’t go to a hospital or AA or anything – they just quit. (My husband was a heroin addict for years before I knew him and then he was in a methadone program but he quit on his own. No NA or anything. I mean, he went to therapy for over a year but he’s really healthy now. Seriously healthy.)
Your last detail with the coping ability is absolutely the answer. Any addiction to anything came from not looking honestly, openly, at life because you’re scared or you want things to be different from what they actually are. You just don’t feel good enough the way you are. Some people come to the realization that they are good enough, that things are just as they are supposed to be, through therapy or some people have these really dramatic “quantum changes.” I’ve heard it described as feeling something physically pulling on you or like a bolt of lightning – and suddenly you’re different.
