Resolved Question: I have been out of work for a while, And would like to return to work as I am sick of “Dossing about” BUT?

I lost my last TWO jobs because I stole money from my employer to fund my Gambling addiction (I was till skimming) Not ringing items into the cash register and pocketing the cash to gamble with. I DON’T need anyone to tell me that was wrong (That is a no-brainer I already know that)
My question is this…. How difficult will it be for me to find new work having being sacked from my last Two jobs for theft.
Thank you for your answers
Have a great day.
P.S Gambling is evil and it is easy to let it slip out of control when you can gamble 24/7/365 online. Also I am addicted to FOBT (Fixed Odds Betting Terminals) In betting shops. I have heard people describe them as the Crack cocaine of Gambling.
Kind regards

Two worlds of Drug Consumption in Late Modern Societies

Europeans belong to the largest consumers of illicit drugs, absorbing about one fifth of the global heroin, cocaine and cannabis supply, as well as one third of ecstasy production (UNODC World Drug report, 2008). However, the vast majority of Europeans have never tried any illicit substance. Continue reading

Resolved Question: Post-race depression!?

I don’t know whats wrong. At my last xc race, I ran more than a minute faster going from 20:56 to 19:28, but about a day after the race I started to feel depressed. This has been happening after all my indoor meets too, know matter how well I do. After my previous race on Friday I got depressed and its lasted about a week. The only time I actually feel happy is when I’m at practice. Am I going through some kind of running addiction? Is running my version of cocaine? Help!

Resolved Question: SOMEONE PLEASE HELP COCAINE ADDICTION SUICIDE?

I am 26 and I am addicted to cocaine. My best friend died 2 days ago from an overdose, and I have done as much (if not more) as him. I decided to stop cold turkey earlier today. I haven’t had any today and my head feels like its going to explode. My entire body is burning and I am in extreme physical pain. I don’t know what to do. I have a gun next to me and I really want to just end it because I can’t take this pain anymore. I can’t even explain how much pain I am enduring, it’s like being cooked alive is the best I can describe. PLEASE HELP ME. SLEEPING PILLS DON’T DO ANYTHING

Resolved Question: any advice for my mum’s drug and alcohol addiction?

My mum has been a long time sufferer of mental illness. From diagnosed obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) to anxiety and depression. She’s always well presented, eats well (although small amounts) and exercises regularly. She has worked hard for most of her life, however she is currently not working. She is the perfect housewife, always putting a cooked meal on the table and making sure the house is tidy. She has dealt with some serious life altering issues, such as sexual abuse but has always managed to stay strong and put on a brave front. For as long as I can remember mum has been on some form of anti-depressant. Currently mum has a prescription for Avanza, she also has xanax and valium on hand. For the last few years she has had a few glasses of wine at night to relax but always defended this by saying it helped her relax and unwind and dr’s have told her it’s nothing to be overly concerned about. However, lately I have caught her taking xanax whilst she’s been drinking. On top of this, she is also addicted to sugar free energy drinks and has no doze in her handbag. Mind you she was hospitalized a couple of years ago with insomnia, which she claims is why she takes the avanza..to help her sleep! She is also a heavy smoker. Recently a very close family member confided in me that she caught mum buying cocaine and if I monitor her closely I would pick up on when she’d used it. I can’t believe I’d been so silly as to not notice in the past the way she licks her gums, is completely off the planet and has sinus problems (which she’d never had in the past) I always put her state down to the effects of alcohol mixed with avanza…especially considering she has such a petite frame. I’m so scared for her well-being and would really value some advice about how to deal with my mum. Thanks

Resolved Question: Getting involved with a drug addict…advice please?

I have been chatting to his guy for few months now. He was interested in me and he kinda told me about his drug addictions, amongst gambling etc…we used to text each other, he asked me on a date and i said no it will be as friends. Yes i was stupid, we went to the movies etc and the “date” was wierd. Nyways he opens up to me a lot and i see how deep his addiction is “(to cocaine, alcohol and gambling) so I decided to just be his friend and nothing more. We would chat for hours texting everyday and things and he asked me to be his gf i said no. And i was honest to why etc…i would like to know him better but i know i can’t get involved, his nice but the drugs messed his mind up and i know it’s wrong. But now i’m scared to bump into him on campus and it was his b’day so i texted him, is that okay? I been chatting to him and he tells me he wants to get help etc and i always encourage but i know i can’t ‘save’ him…i don’t mind the texting and things but i really know how messed up he is cos he get into money problems and asked me for money i said i don’t have. I thought that was wrong but i can’t cut him off cos he might feel rejected and get deeper into these things but at the same time i am a little scared. I didn’t show my anger, i was nuetral cos i know you can never tell if he’s a bad guy or not cos he isn’t thinking right but i just don’t know now…i’m scared to see him even. We chat less now a days and his moods alternate…he told my friend his willing to try still…i can’t but now miy minds in a mess!!!
8 minutes ago – 4 days left to answer.
Additional Details
i won’t go out with him cos it will be bad for me and him and i told him that but i don’t know why this whole thing is just bothering me now. Nd sometimes he wants to change and then he doesn’t. I can force him to do nything but i try to support him to do right. I accept that he has to be ready to change to change

Resolved Question: My best friend is addicted to cocaine, someone help me !?

My best friend is addicted to cocaine, and I want him to stop before something bad happens to him. My Best friend Benny has a savior addiction to cocaine, and it kills me everytime I see him do it. Now ever since he’s discovered cocaine its been like watching a train wreck. I cant stop him, even though he’s my best friend. I am afraid if I tell him to stop then we wont be friends anymore. He really has done so much for me that I can’t thank him enough for doing the things that he has done for me. He really is a true friend, and I am afraid that cocaine will ruin his life.

I have seen what cocaine can do to people, and I dont want Benny to end up in jail or even dead. Cocaine is more dependant then weed, antidepressants, and LSD. Please i am afraid for this guys life, i don’t want to lose him as my best friend, but I dont want him to fall deeper into addiction.

Please help me
