Being an Adult Child of an Alcoholic I have to endure a lot of ups and downs in my life. One of my dreams as a child was that my family member affected by drug and alcohol abuse with for them to enter an Alcohol Rehab Program. My brother is the only member of my family that’s successfully completed an Alcohol Rehabilitation program. He said that it has changed his life. He’s had to change a lot of his habits in his life. He now lives and breathes the water. He goes fishing constantly. My Mom and I joked that he should have fins instead of feet. Actually, both of my brother love to go fishing in the Gulf of Mexico. The Rehab place he went to was a lot like the Cliffside Malibu Rehab where they treat people affected by a large variety of Addictions. They have one on one therapy and group therapy and treatment for depression. I am happy my brother was able clean up his life at an Alcohol Rehabs to get my brother on his feet. He has now had a legitimate job for over a year, which by the way is building boats. I guess I could say that he can not get enough of the boats and the oceans.

Hi!
I saw your poll and I wondered what your intension is with it?
There are auto immune disorders which pose no risk for other people at all, and auto immune disorders which are a bottom for contagious diseases.
Hi,
Thank you for the comment. The reason you may have had low energy when you were a vegetarian may be because you weren’t getting enough calories. Try eating more protein rich foods like soy, beans, and nuts. Raw foods (versus cooked) like fruits and vegetables provide a lot of energy. And as long as you’re eating a varied diet rich in nutritious foods you should not need to take any supplements- unless you want to take a B12 supplement as it’s only found in red meat. Drink lots of water and another thing you could try is eating small, “mini” meals throughout the day. That way you will be getting a constant, healthy intake of calories.
I hope that helped! Good luck.

I love to hear success stories like this. So many times I hear the opposite and I am very saddened. I know many individuals with addictions that will not seek help and it plays havoc with their families. Always be thankful that you have your brother back. Thanks!
