Miss Benning was a health instructor at the most popular parochial high school in the local community. Even though she had been teaching for only two or three years, she had already acquired a reputation as a teacher with educational techniques that inspired and encouraged her students to think and to learn.

For instance, one Monday morning at 9:30 she addressed the students in her classroom and articulated the following: “For the next week we are going to learn about some basic alcoholism facts from a general viewpoint and we are also going to learn about a number of the most basic signs of alcoholism from a more specific perspective.”

“Not all of these alcoholism signs will beyond doubt reveal that a drinker with a drinking problem is an alcoholic, but the more signs that a drinker exhibits, the greater the probability that he or she is a person who is alcohol dependent.”

Miss Benning then told the students in the class that each student would be responsible for researching four alcohol dependence signs and then presenting his or her findings to the class via a seven minute oral presentation.

The Students are Keyed Up About Giving A Broad-Based Presentation to Their Fellow Classmates About Alcohol Dependency Signs

After learning about the different alcohol dependency signs for a number of days, the time had come for the individual presentations. It was instantly apparent that the students in her class were wound up about the topic because the material that they presented was excellent. To say that Miss Benning was pleasantly surprised with the excitement displayed by the pupils in her classroom concerning this subject could not be overstated.

The day after all of the pupils completed their presentations, Miss Benning passed out a sheet of paper with a list of all the alcohol addiction signs that were discussed and presented in class and in the presentations. Miss Benning then asked the pupils in her classroom to go over the list and rank the top six alcohol addiction signs that were most indicative of alcohol dependency. After around ten minutes, Miss Benning collected the pieces of paper and explained to the pupils in her classroom that after she evaluates the results, she will discuss her findings the next school day.

There was some real anticipation by the students while they were walking out of Miss Benning’s classroom. One could swear that her students couldn’t wait for the next day to arrive so that they could learn about the outcome of their in-class research.

The Students Contrast Their Answers With the Evaluations From A Group of Substance Abuse Authorities

When the next school day came, Miss Benning handed out a piece of paper that listed the top three alcohol dependency signs as per the students’ rankings. To the right of these results, she included another column that was labeled “correct response.” She then explained to the students in her classroom that the numbers in the new column she added represented the answers that were constructed by a board of alcohol addiction authorities.

Miss Benning asked the students in her classroom to look over the data on the sheet of paper she handed out and then to raise their hand if they had any issues, concerns, or questions. Within 20 or 30 seconds, almost every pupil in the class raised his or her hand. It was evident that the pupils had some concerns, issues, or questions about their results versus the answers given by the specialists. For instance, just about every individual in the classroom disagreed with the highest ranked answer given by the professionals, that is, “Do you feel unusually nauseous when you quit drinking?”

The Key Difference Between Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism is the Physical Addiction That is Experienced With Alcohol Dependency and Not With Alcohol Abuse

Miss Benning then explained to the students in her class why this answer was the most precise indicator of alcohol dependency. She underlined the fact that the most important difference between alcohol abuse and alcohol addiction is the physical dependency that is experienced with alcohol addiction and not with alcohol abuse.

In effect this means that when an alcohol addicted individual all of a sudden quits drinking, he or she will experience alcohol withdrawal symptoms.

Miss Benning then told the students in her classroom that alcohol withdrawal symptoms are responses by the brain and by the body to the deprivation of alcohol to which they had become accustomed. Stated another way, alcohol withdrawal symptoms are messages from the brain and from the body telling an alcohol addicted individual that something is exceedingly out of kilter and needs to be rectified. These signals consist of a number of uncomfortable, dangerous, and painful withdrawal symptoms that can potentially lead to a person’s death if the proper treatment is not immediately received.

Miss Benning then went over the multitude of alcohol withdrawal symptoms that can be experienced when an individual who is addicted to alcohol abruptly quits drinking.

The point that Miss Benning tried to stress was this: an alcohol abuser can experience almost any and every one of the alcoholism signs that the students had ranked, but the one sign or symptom that few, if any, people who engage in alcohol abuse ever experience is alcohol withdrawal symptoms.

To explain this as plainly as possible, Miss Benning emphasized the point that alcohol abusers, unlike alcohol dependent individuals, are not alcohol dependent and as a consequence, when they quit drinking, they almost never experience alcohol withdrawal symptoms.

The Students Think They Have Uncovered An Inconsistency With the Findings From The Panel of Substance Abuse Authorities

The pupils also disagreed with the second ranked answer given by the alcoholism authorities, that is, “Have you ever had a drink the first thing in the morning to get rid of a hangover or to steady your nerves?”

Miss Benning explained to the students in her classroom that this sign does not inevitably imply that the problem is alcohol dependency, but that it does underscore the need that individuals who are addicted to alcohol have to drink in order to keep away from alcohol withdrawals.

After Miss Benning explained the relevance of alcohol withdrawal symptoms in the life of the individual who is addicted to alcohol, the students started to recognize the main difference between alcohol abuse and alcoholism.

To add a sense of closure to the subject, Miss Benning asked her pupils to take out a sheet of paper and answer the following question: “if every person who is addicted to alcohol knew about every one of the alcoholism signs and alcohol withdrawal symptoms we have studied, what percentage of them do you think would seek alcoholism rehabilitation?”

After roughly four or five minutes, Miss Benning asked for the pupils’ predictions. While many students believed that around 80 to 90 percent of alcohol dependent individuals would get alcohol rehab if they knew about the facts related to alcohol addiction signs and alcohol withdrawal symptoms, most of the pupils believed that this number would not be less than 60 percent.

The Pupils Were Shocked to Learn That Only 25% of People Who are Alcohol Dependent in the U.S. Ask For Alcohol Dependency Rehabilitation

To the astonishment of most of the students, Miss Benning stated that according to different scientific studies, only 25% of the people who are addicted to alcohol in the U.S. get alcohol addiction treatment. This shocked most of the pupils because they reasoned that first-hand knowledge of the disgusting facts and statistics linked to alcohol addiction would motivate the majority of the people who are alcohol dependent to get alcohol dependency rehab.

Miss Benning then stated that alcohol dependent people not only need alcohol on an everyday basis in order to function but they also require alcohol on an everyday basis so they can keep away from possible alcohol withdrawal symptoms. Evidently, the alcohol addicted individual’s need to drink on a daily basis is stronger than logic or facts. Certainly, due to the fact that the need for alcohol is “reality” to the alcohol addicted individual, this is a thorny issue that is difficult to overcome.

The Pupils are Motivated to Learn About Alcohol Dependency Symptoms and Signs in Today’s Society

A few minutes later the bell rang, indicating the end of the class. Based on the excitement exhibited by the pupils when they were leaving the room, Miss Benning recognized that she had encouraged and inspired her students to stop and think about a critical health and social problem that exists in our culture.

Men and women are so different and have such different tastes, it’s amazing that they can live together at all. When there are so many differences, how can they be reconciled?

Producers of TV shows understand these differences well and are very adept at making shows that both men and women can enjoy. They create characters who have personality traits that appeal to men and other traits that appeal to women. While a man might admire a leading man for his bravery, a woman may be looking at his vulnerable characteristics. In many ways, when men and women are watching the same show, they are reacting to very different dimensions of it.

In their daily lives, however, it’s not as simple as that. Often it’s a matter of give and take. Men have to tolerate women’s quirks and women have to tolerate those of men. For example, there aren’t many men who are overjoyed to see an expensive new vase on the living room shelf. Home decor accents just don’t do much for most men.

Women find it equally frustrating when their husband wastes the household money she’s been so carefully saving. A tree in the backyard has one dead branch on it. Instead of cutting it off with a hand saw, he goes out and buys a homelite chainsaw for the job. After that, it just sits in the garage. The man’s ‘inner woodsman’ overrides his better judgment.

It’s all kind of a comedy, really and that’s part of the reason why men and women can’t live without each other. Life would be pretty bland if women and men had the same kinds of desires. Opposites attract because they complete each other, not because they repel each other.

Of course, there are many areas in which men and women are in complete agreement. An outdoor loving couple will readily agree on buying a Schwinn mountain bike, for instance. Their matching bikes afford them the opportunity to explore the great outdoors together.

They may enjoy different things about the outdoors. A man might see every downhill slope as an opportunity to risk his life while his wife or girlfriend stops to enjoy the view or pick some flowers. But when they reach the end of the trail, they share a bottle of water and stories about their ride.

To complicate things further, men have a feminine side and women have a masculine side, too. Sometimes it’s the girl who feels the need for speed while her partner enjoys a more leisurely pace, stopping from time to time to photograph the scenery. All of these differences make life the rich experience that it is.

This land is your land, this land is my land… Until your lender forecloses. Vacant homes, playmates going to other schools, and empty seats at church are signs that lives are being changed by a wicked economy. Yet there is proof that diamonds are created under tremendous pressure.

Many of our friends have their children moving back to live in their homes. We found are proof that it is not just twenty-somethings moving home. My wife and I went to live with her parents along with two of our kids. We put our home with a vacation rental company when we realized we not be able to sell it or make the mortgage payments much longer.

We moved in to my parents retirement home with two children of our own. Although much of our belongings went into storage we still had some of our important items. There was no way I was leaving my dreadnought acoustic guitar in storage. My wife had me put her fitness equipment in the unused room above the garage. She carried her kindle reader all by herself.

Our financial difficulties led us home. Not our home but our family’s home. I was not prepared for the surprises. I came home from work and Pop was playing a popular guitar video game with the kids. He was totally jamming and the kids were grinning. Was it possible that we were all changing or just revealing what was already inside us?

My Mom has a page on a social site and now has over 100 friends. My daughter is helping my Mom’s social group with a quilt to raise money to fulfill critically ill children wishes. I actually caught my son playing cribbage with my Dad. I can still see the sheepish look on my Dad’s face when I caught him reading and e-book.

My father-in-law and I have become friends. That is different from being related by marriage. It’s much better. We share a passion for old airplanes and have traveled as far as 300 miles to attend an airshow with the tribe. We spend time together fishing and he finally asked me to show him how some of my exercise gear works.

Wrapping up a day of chasing fish my Pop asked me if I thought the kids might like spending some weekends at their house after we move back to our home next year. He said he was also wondering if we might be able to get together for a couple out of state fishing trips next summer.

It was in those moments that I knew a cold hard fact. As destructive as our economy had become it was also the reason our home and our family had benefited. I also knew I was going to have a terrific trophy fish hanging on the wall before next winter.

Opposites attract. That is, if you are a magnet. However, in terms of relationships, only as far as sexual orientation is concerned. Other than that, the rule hardly applies.

Here and there, we hear of couples who are having problems because of differences. He loves the night life; she prefers watching her favorite late night show. He is not fond of kids; she wants twins nine months after they get married.

When John and Victoria were introduced at a party, they were immediately attracted to each other. Soon after exchanging phone numbers, they started dating. Victoria was fascinated that John was so good with computers; and totally unlike her. He was often late; but this did not bother her. Her focus was on learning new things about him. However, as expected, the initial high of courtship eventually began to subside. Ms. Punctuality to her friends, Victoria started noticing Johns disrespect for time.

John, no longer star struck, started noticing how Victoria nagged him about time. On top of this, Victoria loved the greens and enjoyed to collect golf gifts. She always wondered why John never bothered to give her one. How could he? He never enjoyed sports. How could he possibly relate to the joy of collecting things connected to your sport? Realizing all this, Victoria wonders if they will ever get to the point where he gives her a beautiful solitaire engagement ring and asks her to marry him.

During the same party, Christine and Jason also met. Unlike the previous couple, the meeting ended at that. It was in a bowling tournament that they both joined that they linked up again. Having the same set of friends, they would at times have coffee before heading out their own ways. Soon, they began having warm up bowling games together. Not long after, Jason grew a liking for Christine’s company, even while their conversations grew longer. Unlike his ex, Christine is very much into the sport, and who better to understand his spending much time and money on it, than her.

Given the above scenario, do you think Mike and Kay will get to the point where they decide to marry and rejoice over early pregnancy signs together? Having mutual attraction in the early part of courtship is a big help. However, unless supported by compatible character, it is doubtful that it will go any further; and even more doubtful that it should.

In any given relationship, the key is spending time together. One needs to know that he or she is appreciated, at the same time he or she should also return this favor. My two cents on this is that Jason and Christine’s relationship would fare better in the long run.

Everything starts with chemistry. If this chemistry is the initial physical attraction between two people, it must be sustained by common principles and common character traits. Otherwise, it will eventually fade away.

It is possible that you can’t get your ex back because you really don’t want to. It might sound harsh, as the truth can, but we often do things that cause us our own dissatisfaction and pain because we believe it is the lesser of the two possible painful scenarios. We often forget to look at the possible positive outcome of extending ourselves. Whether it’s to get ex back or find someone new, self awareness can go a long way.

It is part of the human condition to cause one’s own painful reality rather than become victim to it via someone else’s control. This is not to say that it is human nature, but a condition. One that has been taught through generations of others with the human condition. We threw out the love of our life to make sure that we were not the one that was dumped. Sounds familiar?

We scour the shelves looking for a fat loss solution when we are still clutching a bag of potato chips in our hand. We pretend we want to lose weight, but we also know that the weight keeps the guys away, and we can then remain in control. We don’t want to be a joke or experiment, and we certainly don’t want money riding on our behaviors.

We douse ourselves in beauty cosmetics yet we show the world our ugliest side. We think we are protecting ourselves, keeping everyone at bay. Yet we are the ones who go home at night and are lonely. We don’t give ourselves a chance to be loved because we don’t want the inevitable pain if it doesn’t work out. What about the chance for love if it does work out?

We do these things because we want to be the best person we can be. We tell ourselves how horrible we are because we expect it to motivate us into being better people. We lash out at ourselves, sometimes physically, because we understand that the more pain we feel now the more we will want to move away from the discomfort and change our lives.

It would be wonderful if we could all put down our weapons of choice and start to realize that there are other factors in play here. We do cause our own pain to make sure that, at the very least, we get to be in control of it. We don’t ask for help and we never look back.

The problem is that the more we protect ourselves the more we end up hurting ourselves. We believe that no one can be as good as they seem and that no one will ever want to hear everything that we’ve kept locked in our heads. We are, by all means, individuals trying to figure out how to be a community.

I want to get my ex back! Most of us will have said those same words at some point in our lives. Only a few of us will actually get what we desire.

Almost all of us will do the wrong thing at the wrong time. Making stupid moves in the hope that our ex will take pity and take us back. The majority of the time that doesn’t happen.

Moves like pleading & whining. Following them about. These things will never work. You run the risk of forcing your ex further away.
