Some thoughts on PTSD and our returning military personnel...

We are only beginning to discover the magnitude and many tentacled, multiple symptoms of this dis-ease. A dis-ease in the true sense of what dis ease is. An uneasiness of/within your being. Can you imagine being uncomfortable in your own skin? Can you imagine wanting to break out of it you are so uncomfortable in it? Now, imagine being uncomfortable in your mind.

Tanning addictions and things we don't normally think of as addictive...

I read an article in today's paper headlined: Tanning's Dark Secret: Study finds the facilities can become addictive. The article spoke to the point that tanning activates the same parts of the brain triggered by drug dependence. Apparently in a blind study, groups of people who tanned and then were deprived of tanning underwent a withdrawal.

Rx drugs, the State, and personal responsibility...

Illegal prescription drug use is rampant. Why wouldn't it be? Pharmaceutical companies spend millions of dollars annually to assure that our nation's physicians dole out prescription drugs on a continual basis. Stronger, longer lasting drugs are finding their way to our family medicine cabinets where smaller, inquisitive hands can easily reach out and grab them.

FRIENDS. FAMILY. CO-WORKERS. NEIGHBORS. You - or someone you know is just one degree of separation from someone who has an addiction. And this addiction, whatever it is is (prescription medication, gambling, drugs, alcohol, shopping, computer or video game addiction, workaholism, caffeine, overeating) is affecting their life and affecting yours.

You may have an addiction or addictive behavior you weren’t even aware of.

Do you dream and are you fulfilling those dreams? If not, there is an addiction to something preventing you from doing so.

Do you have a purpose in life or is your purpose to satiate your addictive or alcoholic need?

Are you willing your existence or working to achieve someone else’s ideas and goals?

PREHAB is designed to help prepare anyone for the rigors and trials of any challenge they may encounter in life, especially drug or alcohol rehabilitation and the traumas and nightmares brought on by PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder). Swift reveals that "addiction is easy, rehab is hard" and he demystifies the world of rehabilitation. Is rehab that scary, terrible place depicted in television and fan magazines, or is it an opportunity to become joyous, loving beings?

PREHAB examines the painful "rehabilitation revolving door" and the families this doorway so powerfully affects. With little being done to rectify the high recidivism rates amongst addicts and alcoholics, and a seemingly unending supply of legal and illegal addictive substances, there is an explosion of negative, addictive behaviors.

PREHAB is an effort toward expanding the way we perceive rehabilitation. Not as a bewildering, negative and terrifying experience, but an opportunity one rarely gets in life: a chance to start over, rebuild and become the joyful and hopeful human being we were all meant to be.
