Drug and alchohol rehab and therapy. Two books that I have recently read deserve attention today. One is My Way Out and the other is The Cure for Alcoholism. Both are great books and both detail a pharmacological cure for alcoholism. I know that if you are someone who suffers from alcoholism or some other form of addiction, you’ll be skeptical at the whole notion of cure. For decades Alcoholics Anonymous has been advising there is no cure while preaching a powerful abstinence that just doesn’t seem to work for most people unless it is reinforced by constant monitoring and control. Traditional pharmacological therapies have been equally ineffective, helping a few but leaving most out in the cold. Needless to say this is not a hopeful state of affairs.

Feeling good about things isn’t just about emotions or relationships, it is also about food and chemicals. As surprising as it might seem to you, what you put into your body effects your mind. Vitamins, minerals, preservatives, and chemicals all effect the sensitive structures of your body! If you doubt the importance of nutrition to mental health, consider alcohol. Even as little as two ounces of strong booze can impact your emotional responses! Something to consider on the road to mental health.
