		<description>I&#039;m passing this on &#039;cause it has made a huge difference for lots of people. When you meditate, you find peace and answers.

Intended both for people who do not currently practice meditation and for people who want to improve their skills and experience several forms of meditation.

		<description>Hi Bill, 
I have been a long time reader of your site and wanted to thank you for all of your information that you provide. I think it is great that you are trying to help addicts, their families, and anyone else trying to educate themselves about addiction. I have recently launched a website also aimed at helping addicts find the best treatment through rehab reviews. I invite anyone who has been to treatment and would like to leave a review, or those who would just like to check it out, to come to the site. www.rehabreviewguide.com
Thanks again Bill and everyone else who is trying to help those in need, its so great to see!</description>

		<description>Hi Jennett, I&#039;m a mental health Nurse Practitioner and I work with in patient chemical dependency clients.  You are in a very difficult position.  There is not much you can do for someone unwilling to stop using.  I strongly recommend that your mother stop bailing him out of jail.  You must show tough love in order for him to find his own will to overcome his use which often means allowing him to hit rock bottom.  Until he decides that he wants to quite using because things have gotten so bad, nothing will change and your mother, even though her hearts in the right place, is enabling him to continue down this road.  If you want something to change, you must do something different.  Set strong boundaries, let him know that you love him but will no longer support his addiction financially.  You are in a really difficult position and I would recommend a support group for yourself and your family.  It sounds like you are doing everything you can to help him by caring for his children.  

I am very passionate about helping those afflicted with addiction and am starting a long term care treatment center.  I would greatly appreciate your feedback on a quick survey (www.northwesttreatmentcenter.wordpress.com)  so I am better equipped to help those in need.  If you have any further questions, feel free to leave a comment on the survey.</description>

		<description>Ok so I am not sure where to start, I have a few issues...... my brother is a meth addict and my mom ( whom I live with) keeps bailing him out of jail when at this point of time we are raising two of his childen. I am tired of watching money we need for the kids and for the bills go out the door to him. I am to the point were I feel like walking away but hate to do that and leave my mom in a tough position but I cannot stand knowing that the money we need keeps going on him and keeps letting him get away with using instead of him getting help. He refuses to go into a treatment program. Please help I am lost in mixed emotions.</description>

		<description>Thanks for sharing these blogs... There is a group of parents who blog about the challenges of their teen and adult children&#039;s addictions. I don&#039;t mean to promote my blog here, except that it has a links to many of these blogs.  If we all work together... 

Thanks for what you do,
