Do You Need Alcohal and Drug Treatment?

Tuesday, November 7th, 2006

Do you enjoy an occasional beer, or perhaps a sip of wine? It is no huge deal in moderation. Many of us like to kick back with a fine wine or frosty brew. However, too many individuals take this perk to a whole new level. How much alcohol is too much? Well, if you do not know, then you might want to do a reality check. Do not make the mistake of becoming complacent with your social life. Too many college kids do this with drinking and partying. Suddenly they are downing a case a night just to stay satisfied. It is time to be aware, people. You have to control how much you drink and how often. If you do not, then you just may end up in an alcohol and drug treatment program. Sound good? I doubt it.

Back in high school I watched a number of kids drink like it was no huge thing. Where were they getting all those booze? I mean come on; someone had to be supplying it to them. They were clearly underage at the time. Regardless of their source, they were chugging like there was no tomorrow. Some teens just think this is the single way to have fun. It works as an escapism I guess. It is their vehicle to a less stressful realm. Unfortunately it is not healthy. People need to focus their energy on more legal and safer routes to a good time. No one wishes to end up in an alcohol and drug treatment program. Speaking of alcohol and drug treatment programs, a close friend of mine was in one. I met him about seven years back, while working at a video store. It took me a while to realize that he was only 20 years old. This shocked me when I found out because he was always carrying cases of beer in his car. He told me once that he drinks around 20 beers each night. I thought to myself, “God, this kid is an alcoholic, and he is not even old enough to buy it!” That is crazy! However, there are actually many people out there in the same condition. Eventually he acquired the assistance of an alcohol and drug treatment program. These days he is alcohol free.

Do You Need an Air Purification System?

Tuesday, November 7th, 2006

At the start of spring this year my daughter was experiencing cold symptoms. She would wake up feeling terrible. Her eyes were red and tearing and her nose was running all the time. It was the end of the school year so she wanted to go to school so that she would make sure that she passed her classes. She would come home from school and report that she had not felt sick during the day, however by dinner time she was sneezing and her eyes were watering again. People that I work with told me that this sounded like allergies. One of my co-workers that has allergies said that her symptoms were particularly bad this spring. This surprised me because she did not appear to have any of the visible symptoms which my daughter did. My co-worker said that her symptoms were under control through medication as well as the air purification system that we have in our office building. I have never been bothered by allergies so I had not paid to much attention when the company announced 18 months ago that they were installing an air purification system. My co-worker said that this was great relief for her. She said that there was so much relief that she had one installed in her home.


I decided this sounded like a good way of giving my daughter some relief as well. I made a doctors appointment for her and also went to my co-workers home to note the size and type of air purification system that she had purchased. I was surprised to see that the air purification system stood in the corner of their living room. If I had not come over specifically to look at it, I would not have noticed it in the room. The air purification system was not very big and it was very quiet. My co-worker said that she had looked at several systems before purchasing the one she had in her home. She stated that she decided on this particular air purification system because it was so quiet and that the filters were inexpensive to change.

I picked my daughter up from school to go to the doctor’s appointment that I had made for her. When I checked in at the school office to sign her out I mentioned to the secretary where we were going. She said that she also had allergies and that the air purification system which the school had installed kept her comfortable during the day. This explained why my daughter was not as bothered with her symptoms while at school! The doctor confirmed that my daughter did have allergies. I asked his opinion about the purchase of an air purification system. He stated that in conjunction with medication the air purification system would greatly reduce my daughter’s symptoms. So, there you have it. I certainly was surprised!
