What Is a Good Book to Read While Going Through a Hard Breakup?

Question by Vik: What is a good book to read while going through a hard breakup?
I want an actual story line, nothing like “He’s just not that into you” or “It’s called a breakup because it’s broken”

Maybe a story that i can relate to, a break up because of a drug addiction(his not mine).

Thanks for any help!

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.

How Can I Stop My Family From Abusing Me?

Question by Terese: How can I stop my family from abusing me?
I’m over 50 years old. My brothers are younger than me. My sister is a year older than me. They’re interfering with my life. They’re trying to tell me I shouldn’t see my male friend because he has a “past.” Yes, he HAD a problem with prescription drug addiction. It was over two years ago. He’s been in a program, has been in counseling with me, we’re working things out, we’re practicing Catholics, and his problems stem from a very personal issue in his past having to do with a member of the clergy and abuse. None of my family members know this and it’s NONE of their business. My brothers insist that they don’t want him around the family and that he’s not welcome at any family functions. The ironic thing is that ALL THREE of my siblings have used illegal drugs in their past. I’m the only one who has never touched an illegal substance. What a bunch of hipocrites! My siblings all claim to be CHRISTIANS. Where’s the forgiveness? At what point do you move on–if ever? My boyfriend is devastated by their behavior and extremely angry. I’ve been forced to choose between my family and him, and I’ve chosen him. My mother is the only neutral one, and she’s torn because she feels threatened by my brothers and bullied by my sister, who is her caregiver. What am I to do? I’ve never felt so low, helpless, and hopeless in my life.

Would You Consider Addiction Treatment as One of the Ways by Which We Can Foster a Healthy Society?

Question by alani s: Would you consider addiction treatment as one of the ways by which we can foster a healthy society?
I want to get your opinions. How can addiction treatment benefit society as a whole and not just the patient? I’m planning on doing a paper on this to get extra credit for a class of mine. I just want to see what other people think. Thanks.
