Article: Written by Renee L Richardsonr The Root of the Misinterpretation: What we say versus what we think As I sat down pondering the confusing intimate relationships of which I have endured, I was led to the dictionary. I began by looking up the definition of the word change. I chose to define the word change because I have all too many times heard men use the statement: “But baby I’ve changed” within our disagreements within our intimate dealings. When one uses the word

When sex comes to my mind, I think about two individuals/consenting individ

Every family has a complex emotional history. When alcohol abuse is involved, that emotional history can be tinged with extra pain and bitterness, and these feelings are liable to rise to the surface in any confrontational situation. This is part of what makes an alcohol intervention so difficult.

We need to send a message to the world. Let it be known that the people in our penal institutions are not invisible; they are not to be thrown away.

Intervention and Intervention Services Intervention and Family intervention is often an essential part of the recovery process. Denial is an ever-present partner with drug addiction. Just because an individual's life has become unmanageable as a result of drug addiction and/or alcoholism, no matter what the drug being abused, along with the abuse comes a lack of willingness and/or ability to confront the true nature of one's own problem with drugs and alcohol and to take any kind of action to better their lives.

“Before I came to Amistad, nobody ever took time to teach me how to do something. I just had to figure it out on my own. Now I have mentors who are like me. They have been drug addicts and they have been incarcerated but they are doing something different with their life today. I could relate. I started to open up, build my confidence, and pay attention to what people were saying. I used to say I don’t need help… I know what I’m doing. Now when someone opens a door for me I accept it.

Experience of Workplace Bullying Since leaving employment to run my own business, I have discovered the real benefits of being my own boss. When in employment, I was confronted by three workplace bullies, in three separate organisations and job roles, all of which were my managers. At the time, it was very distressing; it shattered my confidence, and gave me a feeling of inadequacy. I felt I had to work twice as hard to achieve just a smidgeon of what was demanded because of the dysfunction in management.

The treatment of alcoholism is a complex and difficult process for the alcoholic to undergo. Most people now have heard that the treatment of alcoholism cannot begin until the alcoholic admits himself to be helpless in his ability to control his drinking. All of the major forms of treatment of alcoholism begin with this premise. Some put it in the terms of needing to acknowledge God as a higher power who can help. Others put it in terms of simply admitting helplessness and se
