Alcohol and Drugs

Health Tip Week October 4-9, 2010

Sorry Family for the delay I have been on travel speaking and promoting Health and Wellness.

This week lets talk about something we dance around but never address. Each one of us know someone (maybe us) who is addicted or have used alcohol or drugs.

This will be a two part Tip because I believe we should start with simple definitions:


Addiction is a treatable brain disease expressed by compulsive behavior






Types of Substance Addictions:
  • Alcohol
  • Anabolic Steroids
  • Cigarettes (nicotine)
  • Club drugs
  • Cocaine (crack cocaine)
  • Ecstacy
  • Hallucinogens
  • Inhalants (solvents-paint thinners, gasoline)
  • LSD (acid)
  • Prescription drugs ()
  • Heroin (opioid)
  • Marijuana
  • Methamphetamine
  • Oxycodene (oxycontin)
  • PCP (phencyclidine)
  • Prescription Drugs (prescribed or over the counter)
  • Sedatives
  • Tobacco
  • Tranquilizers
Let us know if there are any substances on this list that you would like further information on.

Live well
