who should we tell about our addiction, and who are we accountable to.

i saw this question below, asking do we or should we tell
our husbands and wives about our useing.
should we tell our children, and freinds.
i myself have told my wife everything then agian she is a recoverind addict for 18 years and has a better understanding then most wives.
my children know i am a recovering addict, but i do not go into detail with them.
It has been my experence that we need to be accountable to someone.accountabilty is a big issue, involving honesty.
most of us have lived this secret life hideing pills spending ungodly amounts of money and sometimes even to the point
of destroying our money situation.
being honest is very important but i think we have to have caution in this area, there are lot of people who think
once and addict always an addict.
one thing i found , once we have found someone we can trust we need to let them know when we relapse.
peace!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ultram gets a bad rap from addicts and I agree that the addict should avoid using them if possible. The fact remain that repeated follow up studies indicate that ultram has a very low addiction profile. More than 97% of those reporting addiction to ultram are former addicts. I think when taken as directed this is a very safe medication. The last thing we need is another drug schedualed by the FDA. Doctors not politicans should decide who gets what drug.

Come on... Masturbate once a week or even once a day should not harm you in anyway. There are people out there that masturbate excessively such as three to five times a day. They don't know that kind of frequency would harm. So after couple years later. Their penis got limp. And they have to seek help from experts from HerboLove.com website. It's so pathetic. If one can just control the urge or be inform about the consequences of "EXCESSIVE" masturbations can do to them.
I have stupid friends that got so horny that they masterbate daily. Before they reach 30, they have impotence and premature ejaculation altogether. Their girlfriends left them because they are Losers on BED.
Men! Just don't over-masturbate!
God Bless you!
the problem is not the act but what you think about,
like thinksing about someone famley member or something in that vain, . i must say i find the whole post quiet imature.
so could you let me know how it fits into this fourm and it point.
I don't know about your friends Jason but the idea that masturbation leads to impotence is extremely hard (no pun intended) for me to believe. I suspect that someone is pulling your leg.
i missed the point.
must of went over my dull brain.
so could you clue me in.

ther e is a rehab for teen the bridge , in my area and they charge 250.000.ooo a year. i found this out when i was speaking there and chairing an h and i .monthly meeting for na, and some of the kids there like our speakes from na so much that they decided to leave and just go to na. the rehab proceded to kick us out of the place and canceled any further na meetings.
tey lost 15 kids to us that month and lost millions of dollars
they would have gotten from the goverment and ins. companys.
that 21 years ago and 12 of those 15 kids are all still clean and going to meetings they are all from the phila area. i know all of them, and have been to most of there weddings. over the years. 2 died of od's and one died clean in a drive by taking a wedding invtation to his father in south philly.
Anyway, thanks so much for always listening and answering my posts. I wish everyone else here would do the same. I try to help as much as I can, and I know there are alot of good people here who help, but sometimes only the same FEW listen and answer
