How do I become a guest blogger?
Simple – come up with a suggestion or a full blog post and email it to y_answrs_team_uk@yahoo.co.uk
However, there are a few tips and rules we’d like you to follow:
1) What should you write about?
Focus on what would interest the Answers Community. We are open to any subject area, even if only slightly related to Answers. This could include educational, instructional or informative topics. Some examples are as follows:
-
- Subjects that you may have professional or personal experience in, for example if you have recently planned a wedding, you may want to pitch a topic on “How to organize a wedding?”
- Ideas based on your personal experience on Answers, such as tips on getting the most out of Answers, things that could be improved, and anything that you would like to share with the Answers community.
2) Use correct spelling and grammar. The more understandable your suggestion is, the higher the chance it has to be used or chosen as a possible blog topic.
3) If you use any Answers content in your blog posts, it should adhere to the Community Guidelines
Finally, the legal bit – your blog will be featured on the site in accordance with our Terms of Service. We reserve the right to translate and make editorial changes to your blog if selected.
We look forward to hearing from you – y_answrs_team_uk@yahoo.co.uk

The Harsh Reality of Drug Addiction

Next we have a woman named Lisa she has been on all the current Harm reduction program’s available in Vancouver’s Downtown eastside
this is a sad sad story this poor woman only has her addiction to look forward to in her life
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OuNWCPDrJsM
Last but not least we interviewed more woman who talk about the pro’s and con’s of Heroin vs. Methadone

You be the judge the whole reason for these videos is to bring some truth out about the addiction support services that are in use here in Vancouver. My research has been on a personal level for over twenty five years in addiction as well as these and many more video interviews. Thank you recovered addict
Vancouver’s downtown east side is a strange neighborhood, full of chemical drug addicts who use drugs openly on the street. The addicts often feel like “cleaning up” but these feelings quickly pass. For some unknown reason, the municipal and provincial governments do not provide enough treatment beds. The waiting list is several months long. Here is the most important issue of all. Why so few treatment beds? I guess our governments feel that these people are not worth spending any money on. Why else would there be no available treatment beds? When an addict says “Hey, I want to get clean!” there should be a bed available THAT SAME DAY for them to go to. These moments of grace are few and far between. It’s a passing, fleeting moment of self-healing which can’t wait several months. Of course with no treatment bed available, an addict will quickly forget their moment of grace and start using again. This is a completely shameful situation. British Columbia and Vancouver in particular have a serious problem with devaluing life. If you want to see the evidence of this awful, shameful attitude towards human life just go to the downtown east side where addicts who really need help are simply left to die. I am embarassed to be living in this city.
I am a nicotine addict. It was with great difficulty that I weaned myself from cigarettes, pipe and cigar smoking, and after a year of being “clean”, took one cigarette- “because I can handle it now”- and was instantly re-addicted. It took a further 5 years before I came off nicotine habit. I have not smoked for 10 years, and have never felt better.
1) all addicts of any drug must want to stop.
2) they must accept their addiction is permanent
3) they have to have extraordinary will power not to take the drug, in any form, once treatment finished.
4) meeting with other reformed addicts may help
5) a supportive friend / family is really good
how about a blog where teenagers like us can tell the world how all our dreams and fancies are being devastated by all the exams and education and stuff? and all the other problems we are facing.
I have to agree with Trevor. I am an alcoholic and been dry for almost 2 years. I have been aware of having a drink problem. for many years and on numerous occasions I have tried to give up. My big draw back was actually changing myself. In the past I would dry out go out and prove that I can drink orange. Hang round with my old mates and still go into the pubs and clubs. The booze won every time. Then after being pointed in the right direction I realised I had to stay away from the booze. I’ve never seen a vegetarian shopping in the butchers. I wish I could take all the credit but being honest I have had a lot of people giving me a lot of support. Do not be afraid to ask for help no matter what your addiction is.
