My brother recently died of a drug overdose.
before that i always wanted to find out about volunteering at places that help drug addicts, as i saw what he was going through. since he died its spurred me on a lot more to want to help people in his situation.
was wondering if anyone knew where to get information about volunteering in such places or whether it is even possible.
thanks for any info.
p.s. i have been searching round london as this is where i am living at the moment.

get in touch with the volenteer beuroe in your area and explain what you would like to do
go to the citezens advice or the job centre for details too
good luck many of us have been afftected by drugs i have worked at homeless units and have been appauled at how badly they are treated , they need people like you who will have some understanding of their needs

Do you know what it is like to be there and understand what these people truely go through?

When I was growing up, alot of my friends did/sold heroin and crack and everything else under the sun. Many of them have since died and/or gone to jail, that happens. My friend Jeff went from rolling people for crack money, living like scum, to realizing he had to make a change, getting off his lazy ass and bettering himself. He got his degree and is a regional manager for a retail chain. Only 4 out of about 25 of us ended up being anything but scumbags, and one is still in the balance. People have every right to look down on odds like that. I never tell people I meet about my past because it's so embarrassing. Empathy just romanticizes their failures.

I want to quit sugar, so when I stop eating it, will I still crave it?

well this question is very tricky i personnaly have not consumed alchahol but my dad has and you will probly crave it for the first week or so, then craving will drop down after the first week, after that about the fist month, then you most likely after the first year (or 4 months depending on how well you can resist) you will not feel like drinking anymore and beer will NOT cause any type of diseeze only smoking will people that die because of alchahol consumption die of drinking and driving mainly on country roads because of the thin roads (o and your body will always crave sugar it is a natural occourance) i hope this helped...

intervention.

you get all of the alcoholic's friends and family in a room, and each of them tells the alcoholic that they've noticed the alcohol abuse, that they're sad and ashamed for the alcoholic, but that they still love the alcoholic and want him/her to get help.

this procedure is designed to break through the alcoholic's self-lies and self-delusions and make the alcoholic realize that there is no way to continue to hide from the fact that he/she has a problem.

How does an Alcoholic person cause problem to his family, what wiil b his children's reactions when he is drunk, What will be his wife's reactions and responces? Could a alcholistic parent affect the future of his children..... Please answer.

he is the only person who affects the life of his children
his children live in utter poverty and they don't have access to good education
wife begins to hate her husband as he is unable to provide luxuries to her
rather than giving her comforts he is giving her troubles as generally,there is a shortage of money in these families
