John, 28, was a drug addict, with a habit that was costing him more than just the thousands he'd spent. His liver was dying, his heart weakening, yet regardless of how hard he tried he just couldn't get out of his rut.

Drug addiction is compulsive use of a substance despite negative consequences which can be severe; drug abuse is simply excessive use of a drug or use of a drug for purposes for which it was not medically intended. Dependence on a substance is not necessary or sufficient to define addiction, there are some substances that don't cause addiction but do cause dependence (for example, some blood pressure medications) and substances that cause addiction but not dependence. by Harry Henshaw

Many if not most of the individuals who are addicted to drugs and alcohol are not happy with their lives and experience emotional disorders such as depression. Furthermore, many of those who suffer from drug and alcohol dependency say that they are not doing what they really want to do with their life. Learning and applying effective goal setting strategies from the field of Neuro Linguistic Programming can help to reduce drug and alcohol dependency and improve recovery rates by increasing the possibility of a person getting what they truly want from life and as a result being able to experience authentic happiness. Assisting a person in achieving what he or she really wants in life as well as in recovery is about a three stage process, effective planning, doing and accountability.

He simply could not muster enough trained western medicine cadre, and so he organised and trained a cadre of “barefoot doctors” with enough western and traditional technique to provide at least provide adegree of preventive and interventive care to the collectives. The problem of delivering healthcare in the west is also persistant and thorny. degree of preventive and interventive care to the collectives. by Mike Rad

When my grandfather was about 11 or 12 years old, growing up in the Caribbean, he picked up this nasty habit of smoking. He started smoking with friends as it was something that almost everybody did. I don't think there was any law regarding the sale of cigarettes to children. As a matter of fact, the way these boys picked up smoking was from going to the stores to buy cigarettes for their uncles or stepdads. by
