The DSM manual suggests thatsubstance abuse there are differences in the definition of drug and alcohol use. To confusematters worse the law has its own version of who is an alcoholic or drug addict.

If a person drinks everyday of the week and relies on alcohol, then you are probably dealingwith an alcoholic. There are philosophers who claim if a person needs a drink at breakfast, thathe or she is an alcohol. Some philosophers claim that if you drink more than six-pack weeksthen you are an alcoholic.The fact is, most of the people nagging or evaluating alcohol and drugs has a problem them selfor has gotten help someone in their lifetime to treat their own problems. Therefore, as you cansee addictions, dependant alcoholics, and other types of alcoholics and drug addicts may alter.First all, any chemical that causes harm is a potential danger to your being.In other words if you start out drinking when you are fourteen and continue through yourlifetime without alcohol causing you trouble, or else landing you a spot in jail, then you areprobably not an alcoholic according to few. The fact is the ones that are drinking and drivingand getting caught are alcoholics according to the system although the level of alcohol in theblood plays a role in the determination.The truth is the law sometimes over dramatizes and the system is out to make all the moneythey can, so we all might be alcoholics by the time they are done with us. Alcoholism and drugaddictions are complex, in the sense there are too many misconstrued inputs and often the labelis placed on individuals according to culture and history. If you parents drank alcohol then thesystem sometimes will claim you as an alcoholic.The fact is, Jesus drink wine in moderation, so drinking in moderation is not a bad thing. Theproblem becomes a problem when the person has difficulty putting down the bottle and/orincreases their intake as well as combining drugs with the alcohol to get an affect they was had.If someone will steal or lie to get alcohol or drugs then you know they have a real problem.However, most alcoholics and drug addicts have bigger problems than addictions and this isoften ignored. For example, people with mental illnesses often resort to alcohol and/or drugs tofind relief of their symptoms. Now if a professional is treating this person for his or herdiagnose and progress is moving along the person often feels healthy and the alcohol and drugsare out the door.In my studies and opinions, I disagree with alcoholism and drug addictions if the person is ableto stop once the mental illness is treated. This means that the person was suffering and thesubstances was a mechanism to help them cope.On the other hand, if the person is treated for mental illnesses and his or her drug and alcohol憃habits continue, then I think you had better get out the chair and start talking ne day at a揇time.?Alcohol was once known as the evils Drink.?The White men are the originator of thesource, and since its beginning it has caused serious complications, including death, abuse, andother related crimes.Drugs are optional since the system often makes them available by teaching individuals whatthe drugs contain. The root of all-evil is money, and if a person sees that he or she can gain,they may take advantage, but fall into a snare in between. The system is overwrought, sincethey put alcoholics and drugs addicts in jail and not seeking help for them.抯 抰The solution to humankind problem is helping and not hurting or promoting. If we can

get along now, what makes you think you are going to heaven?抯In today world it is difficult to ignore all of the pressure that the media puts on us to look ourbest. With all of the airbrushing and photoshopping, no one looks real anymore and the effectsof this more-perfect-than-human advertising are even showing themselves in men!Most of us do not have a team of stylists helping us do our hair and makeup in the morning.Most of us have to rely upon a reasonably priced and easy to do beauty routine. We buy whatwe can afford, what does not make us break out, and we do our best. I think that there are only afew areas that must get attention and the most important is your skin.Having healthy skin tells others that you take care of yourself. This is very attractive to everytype of person. No one wants to be with someone who does not know how to wash their face orsomeone that simply refuses to do so. Healthy skin can be difficult for some people to obtainbut dedication usually is the key.It is not impossible to have great looking, healthy skin. Washing everyday with an effective yetmild soap is very important. There are many soaps out there that swear they will give youyounger looking, healthy skin but they mostly irritate and damage the skin. Be wary of anyproducts that have laundry lists of chemicals. Your skin is a living thing and having healthyskin usually requires that you feed it healthy things.Drinking lots of water goes a long way when it comes to having healthy skin. Water helps toflush out the pores and leave your skin softer and brighter. Working out on at least asemi-regular schedule will also help your skin clear itself of dirt and impurities. The sweatmoves dirt and oil out of the pores and can help cut down on breakouts.Your diet can affect your skin a great deal. Speak with your dermatologist or regular doctor抰about which foods you may want to avoid in order to keep your skin looking and feeling great.Don give up no matter what. All of us at one point or another had to deal with breakouts andhorrible-looking skin. For the vast majority of us, it went away on its own once we reached acertain age. You may have to work on it or do a bit of waiting, but just know that it will getbetter.Pet Health Insurance in the USAPet health insurance companies are hoping that someday pet owners in the United States willcatch up with European pet owners. A recent poll taken of American pet owners suggested thatapproximately three percent of American pet owners had purchased pet health insurance fortheir family pet. A veterinarian who was interviewed after the survey was stunned by the results.She felt that the survey was generous. She believes that less then one percent of her patientshave any health care insurance.In Europe approximately twenty-five percent of all pet owners have some sort of pet healthinsurance on their pets. The numbers are even higher in Sweden where approximately fifty

抯percent of all pet owners rely on pet health insurance to help pay their pet medical expenses.Some experts believe that the reason so many pet owners in the United Kingdom have pethealth care insurance is because of an act passed in 1971. In the United Kingdom dog ownersare liable for any accident that their pet is found responsible for. This means that if a dog darts抯out into traffic and causes a seven car pile up the dog owner is responsible for paying all the抯damages. Unwilling to dip into their own pickets to cover their pet misadventures pet ownersin the United Kingdom purchase something called third party insurance. Third party insuranceis a simply a liability insurance specifically geared to pet owners.抰Many American pet owners don realize that there are similar pet liability insurance plansavailable in the United States. Pet owners who would like to purchase pet liability insurance tocover any damages their pets might be responsible rather should be aware that certain breeds ofdogs are listed as high risk insurance cases and the owners will be required to pay extra highinsurance policies.抰It is unclear why more pet owners in the United States don purchase pet health insurance.抰One possibility is that pet owners simply don understand exactly how expensive pet health抯care is. Fifteen minutes spent in a veterinarian office can sometimes cost as much as ahundred dollars. When a pet owner finds themselves facing the cost of an emergency surgery orhas to take their family pet to a university hospital to have an illness treated they quickly findthemselves whishing they had something to help cover the enormous vet bill. All too often petowners who find themselves in an emergency situation are forced to euthanize their beloved petfor economic reasons.抰Pet owners who are city dwellers probably feel that they don need to worry about something抰like pet health insurance because they can possibly for see when they would need it. Their抰pets live inside, what could possibly happen to them. What these pet owners don realize is抰that illness can sometimes affect house pets the hardest because their immune systems havenhad a chance to build up any resistance.Farmers and ranchers have a very clear cut idea of how fast and accident and how expensive vet抰care is. Most of them would like to insure the health of their pets but there simply isn enoughextra money to afford the monthly premiums. Ranchers and farmers also tend to have a workingknowledge of illnesses and injuries that lets them treat their pets on their own.
