There are many misconceptions surrounding post traumatic stress disorder symptoms and those who suffer from it. Briefly, I want to explain what are some of the main post traumatic stress disorder symptoms, and clarify some of the biggest myths surrounding PTSD.
The complex situation of doctors and substance abuse is nothing new, but it is persistent. It is one that leaves many people scratching their heads. How can a doctor, trained to be a problem-solver and someone who is self-sufficient, recognize and acknowledge when he or she is struggling with substance abuse? How can these brilliant minds be at the top of their field and yet the end of their rope?
Can you have a sober Halloween? The answer is yes! Halloween has grown into a holiday that is more than just kids trick-or-treating door-to-door. It has become a holiday for adults often with elaborate parties that involve alcohol and/or drug use. But it doesn’t have to be. There are plenty of ways to celebrate a sober Halloween while in recovery.
Here are some local events in Atlanta this Halloween:

The risk of breast cancer and drinking? October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and every year we like to remind our readers that there is a strong correlation between drinking and increasing one’s risk of breast cancer. Hundreds of thousands of women are diagnosed with breast cancer each year and the numbers are increasing each year. It’s important for women to know that there are behaviors that can reduce her risk as well as others that increase her risk, one being drinking.
Are certain health problems caused by drinking too much alcohol? Despite a number of recent studies that promote alcohol as “healthy,” the line between health and harm is easily crossed. Those who drink more than 2-3 glasses of alcohol a day could suffer from some pretty serious health problems.
