Need Help With This Situation… Please Help… Points Anyone?

Question by : Need help with this situation… Please help… Points anyone?
Okay so, to give you a little bit of history. I’ve been abandoned all my life practically from my mother. I’m living on my own now and she’s living with a druggie. She says her life is terrible and complains to my brother in Alberta all the time. And he’s on the other side of Canada. Now, she said a few weeks ago she’s going to a women’s shelter and she’s moving. Just a few days ago I hear she didn’t end up moving cause she has no money for movers… Last time I checked, if she’s being “abused” and a shelter has a room for her they pay for everything to get moved if I’m not wrong…. I absolutely refuse her living with me and I will nottake her abouse myself and I don’t want drugs in my apartment. And I absolutely can’t put up with her daily drama…. Anyways back to the topic, wouldn’t the women’s shelter pay for her move?

A Telling Sign of Alcoholism and Drug Addiction

If you want to know if you or a loved-one is indeed an alcoholic or drug addict – it’s important that you know what the drug addiction signs and alcoholism symptoms are.

Now I could give you a whole list of bulleted signs here, but I’m not going to do that (if you want that feel free to visit my website) – because rather than give you a whole bunch of symptoms, I want to give you what I believe is the most telling one.

Most people think alcoholism or drug addiction is a function of how much you drink or how often you use drugs. I don’t think that’s the case however.

It will of course be obvious to you at certain times that a person is suffering from alcoholism or drug addiction. A drug addict for example will be so advanced in their addiction that their life simply revolves around their habit and doing anything else is almost impossible.
