Cures for Hangover
Hangovers can completely ruin your day. A bad hangover can make suicide seem like a reasonable treatment. Dizziness, severe nausea, throbbing headache, fatigue, weakness, sensitivity to light and noise, and just overall polluted and unhealthy feelings are the markers of a bad hangover. Even milder hangovers can be pretty miserable and debilitating. Finding a good cure for a hangover has therefore been a quest for regular drinkers for hundreds of years.

Stop Smoking Cigarettes
Health experts everywhere agree that the best thing a smoker can do is to stop smoking cigarettes. When I was thirteen, I began smoking. It was at a concert with a friend and his older sister, and we both asked her for a smoke. I guess she though it was cute – her little brother and his friend trying to act so grown-up and cool – and over the course of the evening, she let us both have several cigarettes.

12 Step Program
I have never had to go through the agony and struggle of a 12 step recovery program, but I have seen first hand what it is like, and have marveled at the strength of someone close to me to overcome addiction. You see, my brother had to go through a 12 step program. He started off the way the rest of us did – binge drinking on the weekends in college, partying, and having a good time. When you are young, this is simply enjoying life, and most of us move beyond it eventually and never look back. Unfortunately, my brother was not so lucky. Before his 12 step program, his life fell into a shambles and he hit bottom.

Drug and Alcohol Treatment Plans
Drug and alcohol treatment is something I have become familiar with over the last ten years of my life. Not only have I spent some years training and working in the field, but I myself have been through the gauntlet of drug and alcohol treatments more than once. While its certainly not a pleasurable experience, going through different forms of drug and alcohol treatment can teach you a lot about yourself. At almost five years of sobriety now, I feel almost grateful for the opportunity for personal growth.

Alcoholics Anonymous
Alcoholics Anonymous is the first and the largest of the 12 step programs. Designed for the treatment of alcoholism, it has helped millions of people around the world to find and maintain sobriety from alcohol. It is now present in dozens of countries around the world, and has many millions of members. It is hard to accurately gauge exactly how big Alcoholics Anonymous is, probably because of the word ‘anonymous’ in the organizations name, but if you are living in an even moderately industrialized nation that uses alcohol in a large scale, chances are there are some AA meetings near you.

Alcoholics Meeting
Growing up, the only alcoholics meetings that I regularly attended were at the bar. Well, those, and before that the ones in the dorm rooms, and before that, the ones behind the school building. Alcoholism is not a new problem for me, and sometimes I wish that I had discovered Alcoholics Anonymous local meetings a long time ago or attend and join christian youth group, instead of spending years of my life a virtual slave to the drink. But then I remember my alcoholics meetings and what they told me. “You get no where, by regretting the past,” my alcoholics meetings counselors used to always say, “instead, you have to embrace the future.” Thanks to my alcoholics meetings, I am learning to do just that, and I have been a recovering alcoholic who has not had a drink for going on ten years.
