This document discusses alcoholism and its impacts. It describes alcoholism as a chronic disease where drinking is used to cope with stress and problems. Alcoholism harms individuals physically, mentally, and spiritually. It also greatly impacts families of alcoholics, often causing children issues. The best treatment is Alcoholics Anonymous, a 12-step program founded in 1935 to help alcoholics maintain sobriety. It focuses on admitting powerlessness over alcohol and trusting a higher power to aid in recovery.
The document defines alcoholism as a chronic, progressive disease where a person has lost control over their drinking to the point where it is interfering with important areas of their life like family, friends, work, school, or health. Alcoholism is described as a disease because it has predictable stages of progression, is considered permanent once control over drinking is lost, and is treatable through abstinence and long-term support. While physical addiction occurs in a small percentage of alcoholics, the definition is based on the consequences of drinking rather than physical addiction.
This document discusses a study on the quality of life of adolescent children of alcoholics. It provides background information on alcohol consumption rates in India and Tamil Nadu. The abstract indicates that alcoholism and its effects on family members, including children, are quite problematic and can affect their quality of life. The document then reviews literature on factors that can influence the quality of life of children of alcoholics, such as parental relationships, social support, and whether the children themselves develop alcohol problems. It finds that while parental alcoholism may negatively impact children's development, outcomes are diverse and not all children of alcoholics struggle socially or with substance abuse issues themselves.
Alcohol consumption and driving among teens894341767
The document summarizes research on alcohol consumption among teens. It finds that most teens who drink do so about once a week, and on average drinking nights they consume 7 or more drinks. While most teens reported never driving drunk, some admitted to driving after 1-2 drinks. Reports of experiencing alcohol poisoning symptoms were highest among grade 12 students, with slurred speech, confusion and unconsciousness as common symptoms.
There are lots of reasons why you might want to stop drinking alcohol. For some people, it’s a lifestyle change - to say goodbye to hangovers, sleep better, lose excess weight and have more energy. It might even be for a challenge, to buddy someone else who is giving up alcohol, or to raise money for charity.
For other people, stopping drinking can be essential for medical reasons. Perhaps because of an alcohol-related medical condition like liver disease, or because they start taking medication that reacts badly with alcohol.
Whatever your reason, the good news is that anyone can stop drinking. And if you’re thinking about removing alcohol from your life, you’re not alone.
The document discusses several models for treating substance abuse: the disease model, medical model, behavior modification model, and biophysical model. It proposes utilizing all four models in a comprehensive treatment program for a 34-year-old woman with a three-year history of heroin use. This combined approach would treat the disease itself, address any physical issues, modify drug-using behaviors, and help the client avoid needing to use replacement drugs or fear losing her job due to treatment.

일상적으로 지나다니는 공간. 치열했던 일상에서 보금자리로 돌아가기 전에 잠시 머무는 공간. 혹은 치열했던 일상에 들어가기 전에 잠시 쉬었다 가는 공간. 이곳은 사람들이 가장 많이 지나치는 곳이면서 한걸음만 들어오면, 자연과 인공이 만들어낸 현실과 유리된 환상의 공간이다. 빛, 나무, 등나무, 천막, 벽돌, 나무벤치가 어우려져 일상과 이질적인 공간을 만들어낸다.
가장 일상적인 물건이지만 자연과 가장 이질적인 pet, 캠퍼스에 일상적이지만 한편으로 가장 이질적인 술. 그것들이 엮여서 춤추는 벽을 만들어낸다. 그것이 앙리 마티스의 '춤'이 될 수도 다른 것이 될 수도 있다. 춤추는 벽은 일상과 이질적 공간을 춤추게 만들고 일상을 춤추게 만든다.

Dewey Sasser discusses maintaining operational sanity in a cloudy DevOps world for a major gaming company that has transitioned all its services to public clouds like AWS. The company aims for 100% uptime and no maintenance downtime using a model where development teams are responsible for their services and a central cloud team provides shared tools and best practices. Key aspects are automated user access control using rules and workflows, tagging for cost control, and putting power in developers' hands while keeping responsibility with their teams.
