To a smaller degree, yes. Japan already has rehab for people who suffer from addiction to web games. This is a sign that yes, it can be controling. How many times have you waited to go to the bathroom cause your on it? How many times have you been on it and not wanted to eat? I could go on, but I think you get my point.

I'm glad you're in good health. I wonder if you still have any rehab to go through. It took me a while to recover after a problem a few years back. MADD would probably be glad for you to briefly tell your story at one of their meetings. Maybe high school Driver's Ed. classes could use a word from you as well.

If your trying to get off opiates like heroin or pain pills methodone is reccomended. I was on it for 6 months and kicked a 5 year habit, the only problem i ran into was that the clinic i went to which you have to go to every morning and earn "take home" privleges didn't seem to want to let me get off. Everytime I asked to drop my dose they told me it was bad and if I dropped more than 2mg a week they would take my take home privleges away I had earned weekends and Wed. My councelor was real with me and explained like I will explain to you, methodone is no fuckin' joke. Its real deal. You have to be serious and I know that sometimes you feel like your on a one way street. Hey you may relapse 20 times but when the time is right you will know and get clean. I detoxed off the methodone on father's day weekend without the help of the clinic, but the much needed support of my husband. I felt kind of crappy for about 2 days like there were bugs under my skin and now I have no tolerance to pain but being able to mark off a day clean everyday for about a year is the best high i've had. Keep Your Head Up, Your in my prayers.  check your local clinic in yellow pages under:substance abuse/recovery

No amount of Rehab will help unless she is willing to make a change. Addiction is a tough thing to go through, there are a lot of underlying issues that cause her to use. I've been clean for three years now, meth and crack cocaine being my drugs of choice. It took a lot of losing to get me back onto my feet. She'll hit bottom and hopefully realize meth is not the way to live. Some of us are not that lucky. I'm here if she ever wants to talk.

You may be looking for Nar-Anon. It's basically an extension of NA (Narcotics Annonymous). It is a support for family and friends of addicts. It teaches you that you are powerless of your loved ones addiction and not responsible for their actions. I've been in the same boat as you. Good luck. \nI don't know about talking with recovered addicts. Most NA meetings are closed, which means it's for addicts only. You could contact your local NA and ask when they have open meetings.

Recovery is a long and ongoing process. Here are some tips from one who has been there: support, patience, time and the understanding that it is never really over. For me, I could never do it alone. I know that I'm just ONE AWAY! My recovery and my salvation are one and the same. I am also faithful in the delivering power of Christ. He is always there when nobody else can be found. Remember you can do all things through Christ Jesus! \nMatt.\n\nP.S. Feel free to E-mail me at any time, or go to my 360   page. I will keep you in prayer!!

This problem has more than one dimension. It is a spiritual as well as a physical problem. The fact that you are reaching out to get help is encouraging. If your situation was hopeless or near hopeless you would be asking where you could score instead of how you can stop relapseing.\n\nDefinitely get into a drug treatment problem. The physical part of your problem demands a physical solution. This is most likely the strongest addiction you could have. In some cases a sudden withdrawal from drugs is in and of itself life threatening. This is not to say you should hurry out and get more cocaine. The problems with that approach are that it is not legal and there is no way to monitor the dose.You must get help and stop immediately because the purity and strength of what you are taking cannot be easily determined. \n\nIn no way does does addressing the physical aspect of the problem indicate you are spiritually weak . God is interested in results and there are effective treatments available.  \n\nMake your request known to God (even though He already knows) and then expect positive results. He is certainly willing and you are willing. What a powerful combination but you must not be double minded. Believe immediately that you have received your request and then don't waver. Wavering is when the trouble begins. \n\nGod bless you . You can see that there are people all over the place that are concerned. You have my prayers.

You are wise to try and regain your brain power. All drugs should be weaned slowly even cigarettes. If you feel good go faster. Recovery from mental illness is not heard of very much because of the stigma.

alanon is for the family members of alcoholics.  they could help you.  but i believe there is also a group called narcanon for family members of drug addicts.  \n\ni would imagine they'd be exactly what you need.  search on the net to find either one in your area.

In my opinion the answer is "no".  \n\nI don't believe rehabilitation is something you can make happen to another person.  In alcohol addition, admitting the problem is the first step.  Unfortunately, the admission can only be made by the addict.\n\nThe exact same is true for prisons.  All the tools in world, when left unused by the convict, are useless.  A prison is essentially a human warehouse.  The very best a prison can do is offer the time and support for convicts who want to rehabilitate themselves.
