Health Care Ministry-Alcoholism and Drug Addiction MonthPhilippians 4:13"
I can do all this through him who gives me strength". AlcoholismAdmitting that you or someone you care about has a chemical dependency problem isn't easy. Alcoholism can be one such problem when drinking or drug use gets out of hand. It often interferes with family, social life, work, health, emotional stability and/or spiritual life.
Alcoholism is the inability to control drinking due to both physical and emotional dependence on alcohol. Withdrawal symptoms can include: Anxiety, Confusion, Tremors, Racing Heart, Sleeplessness and many other discomforts. Don't ignore these symptoms or regard them as temporary occurrences, thinking that you can control this illness on your own. Talk with your Primary Care Provider, Family even a Trusted Friend. Other sources are; www.mayoclinic.org, my.clevelandclinic.org, www.aacle.com (alcohol anonymous Cleveland: 216-241-7387 or 800-835-1935. Drug AddictionDrug addiction also called substance use disorder, is a disease that affects a person's brain and behavior and leads to an inability to control the use of legal or illegal drugs or medicine. The reasons why people use drugs can vary greatly for every individual:
Ref: www.my.clevelandcliinic.org Intervention abd treatment available for Alcoholism and Drug Addiction While everyone is different with what they need, interventions can and do play a major part in recovery and treatment. Family TherapyAddiction can effect every aspect of one's interpersonal relationships. Most addiction experts agree that addiction is a family disease. Each member plays a role in maintaining and potentially reinforcing the ongoing problem. In family therapy, the addicted client is not the scapegoat for the family's issues. It's not about placing blame or asserting who's responsible for what problem. Remember this is your family member and you want to help as much as you can,given any other sickness or disease. Therapists are willing to work with the client and family in creating sustainable and meaningful changes for the good of all Group TherapyGroup Therapy provides a powerful opportunity for people with drug addiction to learn that they are not alone in their struggles. Professional facilitators run these groups and they ensure group safety and comfort. Providing useful education while encouraging members to share and discuss relevant issues can be very helpful. Today their are other extensions of AA (Alcohol Anonymous) worldwide such as Narcotics Anonymous, Cocaine Anonymous, Heroin Anonymous, and Pills Anonymous. 12-Step Programs are free, anonymous and widely accessible without any age,education or socioeconomic requirements. The only requirement is a desire to stop drinking and a strong will to give up drugs. Ref: www.recoveryconnecton.com 
Food for Thought LET’S TALK ABOUT GOOD AND BAD FATS
Low levels of BAD” cholesterol, also known as low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and High levels of “GOOD cholesterol, also known as high-density lipoprotein (HDL) POLYUNSATURATED FATS Polyunsaturated fats are generally heart healthy. There are two groups : 1. Omega-3 these are in oily fish, such as salmon, herring, mackerel, and trout. These fats are also in fish oil supplements. A certain type of omega-3 fat is also in plant foods, like walnuts, canola oil, soybean oil, hemp, chia, and flaxseed. 2. And Omega-6 these are in safflower, sunflower, and corn oils. MONOUNSATURATED FATS There are two groups of monounsaturated fats: • Plant-based monounsaturated fats: These heart-healthy fats can be found in olive oil, nuts, nut butters/avocados. They protect against heart disease since they decrease bad cholesterol / triglycerides, but maintain or/even increase good cholesterol. • Animal-based monounsaturated fats: These fats come from red meat / dairy. Studies have shown that this type of fat does less protective heart. This may be because these foods also contain saturated fat. SATURATED FATS Saturated fats are naturally present in animal products, meat, butter/cheese. But there are different families of saturated fats found in different foods. And they have different effects on cholesterol and triglyceride levels: • Saturated fat in red meat and dairy products like butter increase bad cholesterol. • Saturated fats in plant sources, such as coconut oil may improve the cholesterol ratio by lowering LDL and increasing HDL. But it’s still unclear if coconut oil should be recommended for heart health. The general recommendation is to use it sparingly. TRANS FATS Trans fats are considered to be the most harmful for our health. They can be found naturally in some foods. But the main source of trans fats in foods is through the partial hydrogenation of saturated fats. This happens during the industrial processing of food. TRANS FATS also called PARTIALLY HYDROGENATED OILS. Trans fats have harmful cardiovascular effects. They raise bad cholesterol and lower good cholesterol. If you want to lower your risk for heart disease, try eating more Polyunsaturated fats and monounsaaturated fats. AVOID: Saturated and trans fats.
