Robert Nixon used to consume alcoholic drinks once in a while. Slowly, he started to drink each day more and things got worse. His behavior was becoming unpredictable. He tells of one incident in a club on a Sunday afternoon when a fight broke out and he and his friends were involved. Minutes later he was outside being questioned by the police and spent several hours at the police station. He was released but in spite of this, the next day he was drinking at his favorite bar again. What kind of person goes everyday desperate for a drink everyday?. Now he is alone, a desperate alcoholic.
Discussion questions for your comment:
What is the difference between a habit and an alcoholic?
Which types of addictions are most socially acceptable than others? Why?
Do you think that they are certain types of personality who are more likely to become addicts?
How can a person who is addicted be treated by his/family, friends, co-workers or partners? Give possible solutions.
I think that the big difference is the addicted person who consumes many drugs and becomes dependent on them. The people it starts have problems with: family, friends and all around people. It’s amazing the socially agree the cigarette and alcoholic drinks and it’s too bad for the body but are common nowadays. The people have problems, it’s very stressful, do not have persons who help him, and has “bad” friends; It’s probably to become addict. I think a possible solution it’s looking for professional help; the family took with him about this problem, and very important it’s not to move away from him in this period; to be joined with him and to be a friend.
ResponderEliminarI think the difference between a habit and an alcoholic is the alcoholic seeks to repress his feelings across this service, without realizing the great damage that is causing it.
ResponderEliminarOtherwise a habit is something that is done routinely, almost without realizing it, but it is still just as damaging.
There are addictions of various kinds, there are some quiet, there are some also very evident. We all have addictions, from addiction to the mobile or TV, even addiction to drugs, smoking and alcohol in this case. I feel that acceptance by society is too much hand given the mentality of society. Perhaps to some addictions are more accepted than others because they are made common. You mediocrity ignorance and society by making the now have a vice or addiction is a cause for satisfaction and pride.
If, above all, a strong personality makes your security is increased and so have a clearer vision of what it really wants in life, we must be strong to the problems we are in life and not take the cheaper option as it is easy to become addicted as many do to "feel better".
The best way forward is to first accept the problem. To be clear that the family and friends will never leave them alone. It should seek assistance centers to move forward, there is no addiction that cannot be overcome with the love of his people, the readiness and desire to regain a normal life are key.
I think the difference is that a habit is something you do frequently but is not harmful to yourself and a alcoholic is someone who depends on it for survival. Addictions depend on the person, his attitude and his person, perhaps that's why alcoholism is normal because it is something that exists in many ages and is presented as common as it accepts the idea that most people affects them without realizing it, see it as a simple daily habit, otherwise drugs are otherwise traffic because they are not common among people and are not legal ... is not something you can do it because it is freely eahi preference. If I think that personality is a serious matter that influences our actions fully in our consciousness as handles and says that is bad and good, but the values that an individual treatment from small influence even more because it builds character and a similarity search with other people who submit things to be doing well and finally to overcome the discernment of the person. The addicted person is fully aljeda because society does not live and has the same conditions to properly vivior and social development since the collapse or fall into a habit or addiction your mind just takes care of that and will not live only for that. .. your work is minimal worse your performance and your emotional situation down completely lost people of great support for the first time you decide to try something you know is not good and it will take to bottom out ... the solution is personal for every individual chooses the path by which to go and develop as a person.
ResponderEliminarI think that we should not eat any kind of drugs as it can go from being a simple habit (a habit is when one has a psychic but not physical dependence), to be an addiction (an addiction is also a psychic and physical dependence of the effects of the drug.) when the situation creates an addiction is going to be sorry for the consequences.
ResponderEliminarUnfortunately, in society there are addictions that are accepted as alcohol and cigarettes or snuff because it is legal for adults and are naturally this leads many people to be addicted to these drugs and have serious problems. I think if it is true that some personality types are more likely to become addicted because people with low self-esteem, poor security, lack of personality that may be accepted started to get involved in drugs just because these people called "friends" eat them and if they do not will not be their friends they are not true friends.
People who are addicted are not going to have a good relationship with your family, friends, coworkers or associates because addicts have an unpredictable and inappropriate behavior and in most cases aggressive if not have the drug they need. Addicts can only leave his addiction has a problem accepting that drug addicts who are also leaning on God, asking for help your problem usually those who give them help addicts are their families or close friends and that addicts for their behavior alienate everyone around him because he wants to be with an addict problematic? nobody can withstand these things at the end there are only people who really love the person and really want help.The most important solution is to avoid addiction drug testing simply does not, value ourselves and love ourselves and must always remember that we do not need any drugs for accept us or think we are great, just be ourselves and so be unique and special.
The different between a habit and alcoholism is a habit may refer to a positive and daily action while alcoholism is an addiction to a bad a habit.
ResponderEliminarI think alcohol is more accepted than drugs or smoking because this people are more socially accepted.
In my opinion anyone might be alcoholic regardless of his personality that every person is different.
This type of people can be rejected by own du family, friends and acquaintances. As a possible serious solutions that these people are looking for help to get out of the addiction.
A habit is something that you do regularly that does not significantly impact your life in a negative way.Like walking the dog in the arly morning or bitting your nails,An addiction is doing something to the frequency and extent that it negatively impacts your life or relationships,like alcohol adiction,drugs or smoking
ResponderEliminar-Maybe there are some personalities that can be influence by society much eaiser than others.
People shouldn't treat them as ''freaks'' because they are not,they just have problems with controling stress or anxiety..
-Unless that people have the willpower to quit on their own,using external help will be extremly useful.
I think that between the habit and addiction there's a lot of difference, an habit is something that you made for a long time and your body and mind make them because there is already in your subconscious and an addiction is something that you do because you need to, because your body asking for more like drugs. In society the most common drugs and the more "acceptable" are like alcohol and cigarets, and that is too bad because they're the most common drugs and they really make a big damage in the body. People thing that they're not bad because the publicity that they receive, they make them look good. But when you start in that you can't stop, you need help for stop. I think that if a person have a low self-esteem the chances of become addict of something are higher than a person that have his personality defined that has no need of consuming drugs, sometimes it happens with some people that they consume drugs because their friends oblige them, and if the person does not have a good family relation it can be the start for that person in drugs. I also believe that a person can get a "cure" if their family and friends really help him to get out of that situation, is very important to be with the person when it is recovering of their drug adiction, they need to feel loved and that their family and friends are there for him.
ResponderEliminarBad habits can FEEL compulsive, but there is no brain chemical change associated with it and, while annoying, they do not interfere substantially in any life function and a addiction is a condition in which the body must have a drug to avoid physical and psychological withdrawal symptoms. Addiction’s first stage is dependence, during which the search for a drug dominates an individual’s life. An addict eventually develops tolerance, which forces the person to consume larger and larger doses of the drug to get the same effect.
ResponderEliminarSome addictions appear to be more ‘socially acceptable’ than others, for example alcohol. Many people enjoy a drink and are able to control how much they consume. But there others who find that alcohol becomes more than a pleasant social activity or biting your nails.there are some addictions less acceptable like drugs or peolple who are obssesd with physical activity.I think that any kind of addiction are not more or less ''acceptable'' than others.
-(Do you think that they are certain types of personality who are more likely to become addicts?)Yes and no.
There are different kinds of addiction. There is physical, chemical dependency, and that seems to have nothing to do with your personality.But there are other, psychological types of addiction that certain personality types might be more prone to. Those people might have more difficulty soothing or reassuring themselves, so they are more likely to seek it in substance abuse.
The solution is in every person,if they are interested in changing their lifestyle,they are going to find the courage to do it,by themselves or with external help.
Hi, teacher.It's me William Espinoza Ramírez. I know that my blog should have my name, but I had already created this one, so I found it easier. If you wonder what Internecine means, it's a place from a game called Armored Core(which is the topic of my blog).
ResponderEliminarWell, the real comment starts here. A habit is something that is very similar to an addiction, but in differs in that you can control it to a certain point, preventing it from affecting your life in a destructive way. It is also enjoyed in a true way, and not through an artificial effect, like in drugs.
An addiction, in this case, alcoholism, affects parts of our brain that we can’t control, therefore making us unable to notice it (and that’s why addicts never acknowledge their problem)
Now, alcoholism and smoking are accepted by people because they are related with parties and good mood, so they are seen as something good.
Personality? I don’t think so. But I know that your DNA can make you vulnerable to certain drugs. There’s actually an alcoholism gene, called CREB, which is also related to anxiety. It is in charge of alcohol tolerance, dependence, and withdrawal symptoms.
The first step is the hardest: making the person admit its problem. After this, treatment can be started. The most important part is making the person quit the drug and staying away from it until the wish for the drug disappears. Finally, the person may be faced with the drug to see if he or she rejects it. If so, then the treatment has been successful.
I think he started to drink liquor because of gaps in his heart to see that it worked him for a while but only started to consume more and more and more to spend a few drinks to be an alcoholic which is the difference between habit to be addicted.
ResponderEliminaralso see that in our society does not look bad now and drinking liquor for youth 12 or 13 is normal to consume liquor, I think many people seek to fill gaps in your heart in places where it is not the solution in this case alcohol and also to look good with the "Friends" which I think is stupid to me the only way out of this problem is with the help of God because He is the only one who fills our hearts in spite of all our mistakes God forgives and makes us a new person
I think that is a big difference, the people says that an alcoholic habit is good but that no be fine, the name of this is an addiction, a habit is normal to see but when this habit becomes an addiction that be worse. The difference is that the habit is a thing that you do every day and don’t be worst while the addiction is a thing that you do every day but compulsively that you don’t live fine without this.
ResponderEliminarThe addictions that are more socially acceptable are smoking, drugs and the liquor because now in the society if you don’t smoking or drink this products don’t be famous or cool in the society.
I think that the people more aggressive have more probabilities to be addicts because this people are more emotional and live the life more concentrated on that they do, but don‘t mean that the other people don’t be an addict.
The people treated you worst because my family thinks that the addictions are bad and reject you, the solutions are enter in a group like “alcoholicos anonimos “ or “hogares crea”, here you meet persons with the same problem and clean your body of this bad product, don’t leave that you habit becomes an addiction because you have serious problems.
I think that difference between a habitat and an alcoholic is that the alcoholic just think about drink ,this kind of people dont care their family , them just want go out and pay a lot of money in bars or parties.
ResponderEliminarThe alcoholic persones need help because they have a problem, but in alot of cases they can´t see that this kind of
behavior just sends them to own destrution.
the most popular addictions are smok cigarretes , drink alcohol ,and some drugs. Because the persons think in diferrents ways now.
Maybe, the friends are a big influence in a person , the family , and the media ,too.
Sometimes the family want to help , but in another cases don´t care it about their son and leave him do whatever he wants.
I think that the difference is in that a habit is that a few days a person could confuse but not take every day, already the alcoholic one has to do it necessarily every day, feels that it is something with what nesecita to live.
ResponderEliminarProbably to smoke, aunq equally produces hurt podria the mas acceptado considers.
If clear.
I believe that the best way is to have a certain comprencion and mas fondness, and him it helps if without having to conceal his addiccion
I think the difference is that a habit is to do the same thing all the time without effort, is a behavior that is repeated regularly, and alcoholism is a person who cannot stop drinking affects lifestyle, as well as the people around them, to become dependent on alcohol. For me, the less acceptable addiction is drug addiction and alcoholism and addictions that are fatal. They can make people with these addictions miss everything from the material to the family and friends. I believe that those who are most at risk from Covert in addicts are people with a tolerable personality, you cannot say no to be swayed by the "friends", or the situation around them. I believe that one possible solution is to seek professional help, where you advise and help you deal with people around him as family and friends should seek help before they can no longer fix things and lose the family.
ResponderEliminarA habit is something you can do without any harm, something you have fun with and that you can tell everyone about it. And addiction hurts you and everyone around you, you don’t have fun with it, the “joy’ you feel is chemical, not true joy. And you always have to be hiding it from people, at least with most addictions.
ResponderEliminarPeople accept drinking and smoking because they are seen as “symbols” of parties and being “cool”. Also, they cause people to loosen up, making them “funnier”.
I think that people who are insecure or want to be accepted by people are vulnerable to addictions. They are so eager for being accepted that they are willing to do everything, even sacrificing their lives, in exchange for acceptance.
Their family and friends need to make the person admit that he or she has a problem. Then, that person has to get some kind of treatment, to solve the problem.
1.the difference is that a habit is one thing that you don’t do every day and every moment, the alcoholic have to drink on every time on every minute, like a drug.
ResponderEliminar2. one of a type of addiction is the cigarette and the beer, the people think that this addictions are more low or something like that, because so much persons use this addictions.
3. yes, because some people likes this life with addictions or drugs, or they are insecure and they want to be cool.
First the person have the courage for leave the addiction because this is not easy, and the person have to talk with the family and have their support
For don’t fall…
An addiction is a physical illness is a dependence on a substance, activity or relationship, without a defined control the desires consume the thoughts and behaviors of the person. A habit is something you repeat on your own, without any kind of danger.
ResponderEliminarAddictions are harmful to the addict and directly and indirectly to their families or to close friends and the people around you. You can lose the ability to identify good and bad decisions, sometimes you don´t realize when you hurt your family and friends, and in most cases you tend to be very violent.
People who are unsupported and feel like no one loves them, tend to have low self-esteem are the most vulnerable to addictions, because they deceive themselves into believing that these substances will be the solution to their problems.
The most frequent addictions that are accepted by society are those related with alcohol and other drug types. People around the addicted prerson can provide help, support him in his bad times, increasing their faith, showing them how important they are and how much they are worth. People of weak character are influenced more by many factors such as society and bad friends.
People who are addicted need attention and understanding I think I should do more recreational activities with my family, have more communication with them and havemore confidence in myself.
I think that a habit can be whatever you do constantly but, an alcoholic person does this because it feels that is the best for him so. He keeps it doing it. These alcoholic in many cases fell along or reject from the society because they are not accepted, and what we doesn’t know is that each time that we reject these persons, we make them fell awful because when they are going through this they need our help and how do we receive them?? With an absolute no. when these things happen what we should to think is that at some point we were like them and that if we were in that position don’t would like to be trade on that way. I think that the alcoholic is on that situation because maybe he or she decide to, but the most alcoholic persons are on that because they had a problem with his family or are broken so they think that the best way to resolve the problems is drinking and here is where you most to begin to think in to help this persons
ResponderEliminarThe habit of drinking is very usual in Costa Rica, when familiar parties come out or during events from the university or from work. The habit is something that you do often due to a social behavior, however been a alcoholic is a person who have a specific addiction, and he or she can not be a rol model.
ResponderEliminarSome of the most acceptable addictions in society are: Smoking & Drinking. Those are accepted by law because those are less dangerous than other drugs in short terms, however every single addiction provide a negative effect in the human being.
People that become from a family exposed to theses kind of addictions or people who have a childhood mixed with other persons who use these kind of products are more likely to become addicts.
The only way out from addictions are the interior strength and the support from family and friends, besides the coursing of special programs with others addicted people and the faith in god.
I think that everything in excess is bad and harms our body. Every addiction bring consequences in the life of people.In most of times these people try to feel better doing this without to think that this bring serious problems
ResponderEliminarMany times this happend for the influence of friends,family problems and nowadays is very common to find young people with such addictions, and we must help them so that they got out of it.
A habit is something that we always do every day without causing damage and an alcoholic is drinking liquor.
Addicts need professional help and support from their families so they can continue a normal life
well, i think that the difference between a habit an alcoholic id that some people are confused and dont think all the bad things that are done and not only to themselves but also to the persons who sorround them with this bad addiction.
ResponderEliminarthe most socially acceptable addictions i think that are the smoking and drinking because some people think that this addictions are not bad completley.
yes, because some persons prefer this life because they are confused and the solution fot that they look is this.
people like that are not very well treated because sometimes is not suitable that the people this one with persons like that and actually wath they need help and attencion to solution this problems.
i think that the difference between a habit and a alcoholic is that the habit is something that we do always and we are used to do. An alcoholic is the adicction of drinking alcohol a lot, which cause a serious body and mental problems. The person who is alcoholic think that he is doing is the best for himself.
ResponderEliminarThe most aceptables adicctions in the society nowadays are the drinking and somking additions. But even in somes places the drugs are aceptables and legal, like marijuana in netherlands.
The personality can influence but no so much, because people can be adicted, no matter their social class,economic class,education. I think that the people who haves problems in their lifes and has a empty taht they need complete with something, like drugs.
The person can be treated in rehabilitation clinic, with help of their family and recibe advice from friends and people who wanna help this person to be fine.
Thanks to all for your active participation on blog 1!! :-D. Feedback will be given on the following weeks :-)
ResponderEliminarContamination is a process or act that causes materials or surfaces to be soiled with
ResponderEliminarcontaminating substances. There are two broad categories of surface contaminants: film
type and particulates. These contaminants can produce a killer defect in a miniature
circuit. Film contaminants of only one little help can drastically reduce coating
adhesion on a wafer or chip. It is widely accepted that particles of 0.5 microns or larger are
the target. However, some industries are now targeting smaller particles.
A partial list of contaminants is found below. Any of these can be the source for killing a
circuit. Preventing these contaminants from entering the cleanroom environment is the
objective. It requires a commitment by everyone entering the cleanroom to make it
happen. Professional cleaning personnel need to be aware of the importance of controlling
contaminants. Strict procedures should be followed whenever entering or cleaning a
cleanroom. Compromise is not acceptable when cleaning in a cleanroom.
Contamination refers to the procedure of contaminating something, or the
condition of getting contaminated. It is the act of making something injurious
or inappropriate. It may also refer to someone that contaminates.
Foodstuff and drink that are made unsuitable for consumption by man or
animals due to harmful chemicals, radioactive substances, etc being there
, are contaminated. Basically, any unwanted substance that is present in a
food item, is a contamination of the same.
i think alcoholism is a disease that involves having a strong need for alcohol and alcoholic beverages, so that there is a physical dependence on it, expressed through some withdrawal symptoms when intake is not possible. The alcoholic has no control over the limits of its consumption and is often increasing over time the degree of tolerance to alcohol.
ResponderEliminarthe alcoholism is a addiction becuase the person need to drink but he can´t.
when a person is addicted to alcohol sometimes the family gets all the support, but in other cases the opposite is true but I think he should have all the support possible thanks ..!
The difference between an alcoholic and a habit is an alcoholic over the limit, goes to have a habit, to be an addict. Generally, an addict (alcohol) has a chaotic life than other people. For example, a person like this is so problematic, that sometimes his family with him is in crisis (emotional crisis, economic crisis, etc.).
ResponderEliminarThere are solutions to these "disease" of addiction, one of them is to join a rehabilitation group, in which the person feels identified, but most important is to have an attitude of change, wanting to progress in solving this difficult problem .
