Prescription Addiction – Opiates

Thursday, November 29th, 2007

There are different kinds of addiction. One can be addicted to drugs, alcohol, sex while others can be addicted to food, power, cigarette smoking or even power. The most popular addiction is addiction to prohibited drugs. However, do you know you can get addicted to prescription medication as well? Yes you can!

The most common presciption medicine that can be abused are opiates. That is because one can get addicted without him or her knowing they are becoming addicted. These medicines are powerful narcotics that can relieve pain. Doctors who have special licenses to prescribe them are the only ones who can order them to a patient. Plus, this type of medication because they activate “pleasure” centers that create euphoria while also reducing “pain” centers in the brain. So as you can see, anybody who is not really emotionally or physically stable will want it more.

There are treatment programs for that kind of addiction. The suboxone detox is part of the new and unique outpatient program called the Meditox Method. This is a six week program wherein patients undergo rehab without having the need to have himself admitted to the rehab center. With the suboxone detox treatment, patients are detoxified using another drug called buprenorphineAlso called “bupe,” the drug is sold under the trade names Temgesic, Buprenex, Subutex, and of course, Suboxone. This type of medicine actually fools the brain that opiates are there, making brain centers activate pleasure centers without having the need for opiates. That way, patients can get detoxified.

Im sure it won’t be mine this Christmas though, maybe next year I can get lucky :)

A must-have would be this: a 500GB external hard drive. I might buy this for myself:

Playing Slot Machines

Thursday, November 29th, 2007

Have you ever experienced playing on a slot machine? Unfortunately, I haven’t – in real life that is. The first and last time I went to Vegas I was underage and prohibited to even step foot into casinos, so I can only look at the slot machines from afar. But I get to play slots online :D I get to play at Sloterix.com. It is the oldest slots site over the net and has a growing membership of 100,000 regular members already! The site is secure as well. I love playing there because their site design is clean and not cluttered and their slot machines really look like the real thing.

Shutterfly Calendars in Process.

Thursday, November 29th, 2007

Yay!

My laziness has now been kept in check! I finally ordered the free 11×14 poster I got from Shutterfly for free – shipping was only $3.00.

Then I am done with three months of the Shutterfly Calendar. I would have done more, but I fell asleep and Edil didn’t wake me up! Drats. I plan to have them done by tonight because my free coupon expires on November 30.

Want a sneak peek?! :)

Engagement Rings

Thursday, November 29th, 2007

Women love diamonds, who doesn’t? That is why engagement proposals ads usually have diamond engagement rings. Women find it hard to say no to diamonds. I would love to have one someday. I would prefer diamond stud earrings than wedding rings made of diamonds, because I am afraid it will get lost. If I will have the money to buy one, Ill make sure to buy from JamesAllen.com. He is a professional jeweller and his site has the most amazing styles of diamond jewelry. You are also sure you going to buy authentic diamonds, even have them customized! His site is secure and hacker-safe.

My Love for Alicia Keys.

Wednesday, November 28th, 2007

Alicia KeysLet me give me a brief background why I love Alicia Keys. She was the first international singer I have ever seen perform, with her going on a World Tour once and she had our country on schedule. I was mesmerized by the sheer power of her voice, so very soulful. She had a hiatus after that world tour but now she is back and I couldn’t be any happier. According to reports, “Nine-time Grammy Award winner Alicia Keys returns with her long-awaited third studio album “As I Am” set for release on November 13″, and you bet I had the album on the day itself. I love the single ‘No One’! UK residents who are fans of Alicia will be delighted to know she will have concerts in UK come 2008! She will be in Glasgow, Manchester, Birmingham and London from February 25-29 performing! She will have a total of four concerts which I am sure will be jampacked and sold out! Can you tell I’m kind of jealous?! :)

I read this piece of good news here.

Christmas Traditions

Tuesday, November 27th, 2007

Ali Edwards has such inspiration from her blog. She referred us to this blog from people who do not have a winter-y Christmas.

Ideas for a Summer Christmas:
I actually like these ideas:

Take a drive to enjoy the Christmas lights

See if there’s a midnight service you can attend on Christmas Eve – there’s something especially magic about them

And these are the ones we actually do every year :)

What are your holiday traditions?

Shutterfly Madness

Tuesday, November 27th, 2007

So Shutterfly decides to send in awesome offers (like get an 8×8 and 8.5 x 11 classic book free when you place ANY order) three days before they expire. WOW. *sounding sarcastic*.

So tonight, I need to finish the calendar, get cards done (least priority – if all else fails, I will print pictures that are favorites), and choose a picture for the 11×14 collage I won
