My Love Affair with Cocaine and My Recovery

PDF Print E-mail

By Kristi M.

My name is Kristi and I am a very grateful recovering addict.032010krisit

It wasn’t always this way, though. I was born to parents who loved me but couldn’t love each other. They divorced when I was two, and my dad got custody.

When I was seven my mom regained custody, and I moved back in with her and my new step-father. At age 10 I began skipping school. My behavior didn’t improve so I was put in a behavioral program for children. I did well there and after five weeks I returned home.

My neighbor's son died the other day

PDF Print E-mail

By Steve Straessle

1209requiemwebMy neighbor’s son died the other day.  He was a beautiful kid only 21 years into this world.  Police and ambulance sirens blared as they raced up our street in an effort to revive him, but the sirens served only as an alarm that a life had been extinguished much too soon.

The boy’s parents are constantly soggy-eyed now, and they busy themselves in the yard in the hope that physical exhaustion will somehow exorcise the pain in their souls.

The boy’s father was mowing the yard when I pulled up next to him.  I was backing out of my driveway, and the car was filled to the brim with my five kids and their mother.  I almost felt guilty as he peered in the back window and caught a glimpse of the activity and promise belted into the seats.

I told him how sorry I was for his loss.  My wife quietly began sobbing when she saw my neighbor’s face.  My neighbor said simply, “He was a good boy, he just had a problem.”

If you are pregnant don't drink.

If you are drinking don't get pregnant

By Cynthia Crone

Don’t drink if you are pregnant or may become pregnant. Period. It sounds harsh, doesn’t it?  It may to some, but not to those who are paying the price.

Like this family.

Ginny’s mother and father are having marital problems.  And parenting problems.  And school problems.  It seems that all the problems have something in common: Ginny.

Faith keeps family together after tragedy

My husband and I are actively involved in several ministries in our church, and we were absorbed in planning for Christmas events including planning meals, making all kinds of lists and cleaning and decorating our house.

In the midst of these thoughts the phone rang.  When I answered, an unfamiliar male voice said, “Is this Jared’s mother?”  I answered yes, trying to remember if I had ever heard the voice before.  He continued, “This is Mary’s father, have you seen her or Jared?  They seem to be missing or at least we haven’t been able to reach them.”

Over 60? Maybe it's time to skip the drink.

PDF Print E-mail

When you get to be over 60, it’s probably best to skip the cocktails and other alcoholic beverages.

To some this may sound grim, but embrace it, says Dr. David Lipschitz. The benefits can be huge.

1209elderlywebDr. Lipschitz, now with St. Vincents Hospital in Little Rock and a noted author and former chairman of the geriatrics department at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences College of Medicine (UAMS), makes a good case.

“Substance-related disorders of all types remain overlooked in geriatric patients,” Dr. Lipschitz says, and by that he means overlooked by both the patients and the doctors who aren’t dealing with it as effectively as they might.
