  A New Direction for Rehabology

  01.31.07 | Permalink | Comment?

  Well it’s been a fairly wild ride since we started this site and to be honest, the response to it has been fantastic.

  We’ve seen some great posts from new bloggers and started more than our fair share of debates, arguments and rants. The traffic has grown steadily and the site seems to be on the radar of a few prominent people in the debate.

  But to be honest, Luke and I burnt ourselves out with our hectic schedule of writing in the first few months of the site. So much so that for the last month or two we have selfishly relied on Steve Strommer to update a lot of the content (for which we are eternally grateful).

  Bi polar, alcohol, drug & pot addiction

  *sigh* I have been addicted to painkillers for over 25 years. I’m also a pot smoker (luv the stuff) & raving alcoholic. None of these admitted to until 8 months ago. After many times of trying to detox and stay clean and sober, treatment saved me, then a recovery house. I am just going into
  addiction housing this week, and scared sh*tless. I want to drink, I want to smoke. I want to have good mind blowing sex. I am bi polar, and guess what? I am a 52 yr old female who hates living alone and being lonely. What to do?

  Qat’s out of the bag

  01.26.07 | Permalink | Comment?

  It was with some dismay yet no surprise that I started to stumble across more and more news articles (Just Google and see) that yet another immigrant culture was starting to clash with good old American principals yet again. This time it wasn’t what has become the steady daily news making issue of Islamic immigrants assimilating into mainstream America, but this time it was about a cultural habit. An ancient habit common to East Africa and the Arabian Peninsula. Qat chewing. Not unlike the good old boys of rural America chewing tobacco (and for lots of the same reasons) this activity has all manner of social and physiologic roles it plays in it’s respective societies. While embraced by some and reviled by others its use has been anchored by more than one culture. My own theory about the recent Ethiopian invasion of Somalia is that it had more to do with the Islamists banning qat usage thereby interrupting the plants flow than it did about personal freedoms and the threat of fundamental Islam. Call me crazy, it’s ok, I can take it.
