I say ''Today is a good day some, are just better than others.'' 'NEXT" Some people can't stand that you have overcome many difficulties in your life to become a person who once again, not only likes himself but contributes so much to others. More...

Montreal - If laws were enforced, fewer young Quebecers would face the crippling prospect of becoming pathological gamblers, experts said yesterday in the wake of another study chronicling the spread of youth gambling.

It could be because children with the disorder -- called ADHD -- have trouble paying attention, have problems at school and difficulty with relationships with friends and family. This, in turn, could make them susceptible to abusing drugs and alcohol, the researchers said.

It also shows it is important to diagnose and treat ADHD early, the researchers write in the August issue of the Journal of Abnormal Psychology. More...

Greece to fine, jail bawdy Britons for beach binges

VOODOO DRUG ADDICTION RECOVERY

By Mark Elliot

Imagine being addicted to a drug like heroin and trying to find an effective remedy that works fast and keeps you from going back again.

How about Spit- therapy? That’s one where other addicts in treatment spit on you as a punishment for wrong-thinking. Never heard of it?
