Recently found on twitter by suusieh (Suzanne Lindenburg) – @Ian42486 its a clinic for people who have a drugs or alcohol addiction!!
This was one of the least helpful videos on addiction that I have ever seen. It’s incredible that it came from PBS. Did either of the persons interviewed actually say anything of substance? If so, I missed it. “I am… in recovery from a disease that has no cure but does have a solution, and the solution is recovery.” What completely meaningless blather!
If addiction is a disease, why is it that treatment mostly involves support group attendance or counseling by addiction professionals who have no training in medicine or psychology? The only bona fide medical treatment involves detox for withdrawal symptoms or hospitalization for organ damage but not for the addictive behavior itself.
why are there never anti alcohol commericals which take place in the bush– is reality to scary ???
Not a bad depiction of being really really drunk at a club, or rather how you remember it.
lawl warning: not for ppl with a history with epilepsy or seizures

And with that, I wish you all the best and suggest checking Wiki for some practical tips on clamping down on urges to drink.
Orange juice, for example, is a good substitute for alcohol cravings.
Yes I agree but there’s still the addiction thing that millions have to deal with and stoping can lead to seisures etc. including myself
The consumption of alcohol does not kill brain cells but rather damages dendrites, the branched ends of nerve cells that bring messages into the cell.
Alcohol dilates the channels in the cellular structure that regulates the flow of calcium, causing more calcium than normal to flow into the cells and stimulating increased activity. This does not kill the whole cell, but causes a loss of the end segments, leading to the loss of incoming signals and therefore a change in brain function.
Oh?

Replace the * with a period and read those few paragraphs. THEN think about what you just said and make an educated opinion.

How often do you brain cells get replaced? Do you know? NEVER. That’s right – you drink alcohol, your brain cells go bye-bye, Kansas. Tells you something about people who drink a lot, don’t it?
Good to see another Boynton on You-Tube
