Question 2

i am worried about my children.  are there good ways to raise them so they will avoid addiction?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Love them unconditionally. Be honest with them, encourage them to share with you. Play with them. Have boundries with them. Encourage extracirricular actives such as sports, music, the arts. Let them know certain things you will not tolerate in your house such as underage drinking or drug use. Take a good look at your own "habits". Know their friends, dont be afraid to be nosey. And pray like heck.

Question 3

are sexually suppressed children more prone to develop abnormal sexual behavior (sex addiction, asexual etc)?

Accepted Answer

Maybe: It depends on what you mean by sexually suppressed. If you mean children raised in conservative homes that discourage early sexual experiences but don't teach that sex is bad, probably not. If you mean children raised in homes that have negative or punitive views of sex, probably yes.

Question 4

can children learn addiction from their parents?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely: Chilldren learn by modeling the behavior of those around them. Living with parents whom are addicted; this is what they see and know. They see how their parents cope with life, deal with feelings and deal with others, which are all usually dysfunctional in someone with an addiction. There is also a genetic component to addiction as well. These children may take on unhealthy roles, can't be "kids".

Question 5

are fetal alcohol syndrome children more susceptible to addiction?

Accepted Answer

It depends...: Alcoholism may run in families.  If a baby was exposed to alcohol because his/her mom was an alcoholic, then that child may have an increased risk of addiction.  However, if the baby was exposed to alcohol because his/her mom drank several times at parties, for instance, but does not struggle with addiction, then the baby should have no increased risk of addiction.

Accepted Answer

A lot: You sound correctly concerned.Now let's confer with an excellent psychiatrist . For you! for the kids !

Question 7

what causes addiction to buying lottery tickets?

Accepted Answer

Gambler's fallacy: The "gambler's fallacy" is the belief that "this time i'll win it big." for some folks, this is an irresistable urge that drives them to spend all of their money, whether it be on lotto tickets, at the craps table, slot machines or on sporting events. Groups like celebrate recovery and gambler's anonymous are very important to overcoming this. If this is you, seek help and support today.

Question 8

i went to see my aunt today so wonderin what alcohol/drugs cause squirmin n lot more gigglin to she has history of alcohol n dtug addiction please hel?

Accepted Answer

Could be anything: Getting "high" usually includes a sense of euphoria and decreased inhibition. The symptoms you describe could be from abuse of almost anything or even represent an underlying medical or psychological condition. Have you talked to her about getting help? Also, not to be judgemental, but i hope you are not on all 3 of the medications on your profile at the same time. Opiates can be addictive.

Question 9

can i cure my addiction?

Accepted Answer

Not by yourself: Addiction is a problem that is treated best with the help of a support group. I would recommend you seek out a group like celebrate recovery, which provides help and support for folks dealing with a wide variety of addictions. Other, more focused groups include alcoholics anonymous (aa) and narcotics anonymous (na). The important first step is to admit that you have a problem and need help.

Question 10

what medications treat addiction?

Accepted Answer

Addiction: Depends on the substance the person is addicted to, for example Antabuse (disulfiram) or Campral for alcohol addiction.
