Drug And Alcohol Abuse

By Lawrence Jameson

Drinking and Driving in America has gotten way out of hand ! Every day there are just so many new Fatalities caused by People who Drink then get in their Cars and Drive home. Every day when you look in the paper you hear so many Horror stories and they all seem to involve the Death of a Child ! Drinking and Driving is a huge Problem and the Answer to stopping it does not seem to be forth coming.

One of the big problems seems to be the same people are getting DWI's over and over . Why is it that these people are not getting the help they need to stop them from Drinking and Driving!

Recently I unwillingly took a look into what happens after a person is convicted of a DWI. What I found out made me both very mad and also very Scared ! It seems that at many of the Drug and Alcohol treatment Centers it is all about the all mighty dollar and there is not much concern put on Treatment.

I went to Community Counseling Services of Ronkonkoma NY run by Ruth M Meyer for an Evaluation. Now as a person who Drinks very little and who's Drug use was left back in the 90's with my Old Bongs, I was not worried about the out come . I was a little Surprised when I was told I would need to start going to Community Counseling Services of Ronkonkoma NY for treatment twice a week. I was very Surprised when I heard the cost per week for this was more then half my income per week. But I had Court and I did not have a Choice but to do as they said.

I was quickly told by just about every staff Member at Community Counseling Services of Ronkonkoma to go apply for Medicaid. I was told that they can charge Medicaid allot of Money. I took the hint that it was in my best interest to apply for Medicaid, After a trip to the Department of Social Services I was given a form that said I was Medicaid Pending, This seemed to make everyone Happy.

I set up to go to Community Counseling Services of Ronkonkoma twice a week once for one on One Consoling and once for what was called the Group Class. The One on One Counseling which was planed out to be a one hour a week talk almost always seemed to be me sitting in the room for some where around 15 Minutes with a Counselor named Chris. He would ask me how my week had been and then I would sit there listening to him apologies while he did paper work that had nothing to do with me! I remember about every week he would tell me how He was over booked and then tell me that He was going to let me go early.

The Group was just a little better it was two hours long and run by a Women named Heather , The Group meeting would consist of People Complaining about their lives, Heather loved to give advice to the Group Members and She was never shy about telling you your opinion on something was wrong and of Course She was Never wrong about anything.

Now to tell the Truth at the Time I did not care at all I was just going to these meetings to look good in court for my DWI trial . Things where going fine with me at Community Counseling Services of Ronkonkoma , I was not getting any real treatment but I also did not care.

After about four Months of Treatment I found out I did not qualify for Medicaid. Well things Changed quick with the relationship between me and Community Counseling Services of Ronkonkoma , I was told by Ruth Meyer that I owed over a Thousand Dollars. I told Her I did not have the Money. I was then informed if I did not pay a huge part of the Debt off and sign a paper stating I owed the Money that Community Counseling Services of Ronkonkoma would report to the Judge in my case I was Non Compliant and ruin any chance at a plea Bargain ! All I could think was this is Blackmail, I signed the paper and gave Community Counseling Services of Ronkonkoma a Couple of Hundred Dollars!

After Court was done the Sentence I received was I had to do 50 Hours of Community Service and Attend a Meeting of Mothers Against Drunk Driving and also my License was Suspended for 90 days.

In my next one on one Counseling with Chris after my DWI case was over, I was told by Chris I no longer needed to come to Community Counseling Services of Ronkonkoma anymore. Chris looked at me laughed and said We both know you don't have a problem with Drugs or Alcohol and you don't have the Money any way.

After 40 days with no licence I received a letter from DMV saying I could get a conditional License if I attended a Seven week Drinking and Driver Program. One part of the Class is you must get an Evaluation, when I told the Teachers of the class I had taken one an attended Classes at Community Counseling Services of Ronkonkoma I was told that was fine! Around the end of the Seven weeks of Classes I received a letter from the Drinking and Driver Program saying I was going to fail the Class because I had never gone and had an Evaluation done! Confused I called the DDP and told them I had taken one at Community Counseling Services of Ronkonkoma . They told me that Community Counseling Services of Ronkonkoma told them I had never Completed the course there! When I called Community Counseling Services of Ronkonkoma and spoke with Ruth Meyer I was told that they would not consider me completed and release my info to the DDP until after I was finished paying Community Counseling Services of Ronkonkoma all the Money I owed them. Well I got very angry and I made a big Mistake I began Speaking loud to Ruth Meyer that I did not have all the Money right now and if She didn't release my info to the Drinking and Driver program I would lose my License for 90 days all over again! Ruth told me that it was a Business and she felt this was the only way to get me to pay.

I borrowed the money from a friend and paid off Community Counseling Services of Ronkonkoma figuring everything was now Finally over, I found out real fast what happens when you raise your voice to Ruth Myer. After paying Community Counseling Services of Ronkonkoma they told the Drinking and Driver Program that I had never finished the Classes at Community Counseling Services of Ronkonkoma. I called and ask to speak to Chris but was told he no longer worked for Community Counseling Services of Ronkonkoma. I of Course lost my License for another 90 days!

This is just one outpatient rehab I had to deal with, I have talked to many Poeple who have gone threw the DWI System and I found out that it is a very cut throat Business run by People who if you do not do as they say when they say it, will do what ever they can to make your life a living Hell. During this whole ordeal the only time I felt that anyone really didn't want me to drink and drive again was when I attended the Mothers Against Drunk Driving meeting and Surprise that meeting was free! The MADD meetings are run by Mothers who have lost Children to Drinking and Driving! These Women were not rude or condescending they just gave an honest heartfelt plea asking us to please not drink and drive! After hearing their Stories I know I never will again.

Drinking and Driving is a big Problem in America, But it is also a very large and Profitable Business !

This is only my opinion and how I remember the events.

How Does Someone Develop Precognition

By Kelsey Allan

The ability to foresee events that may occur in the future before there is any way possible to know about them is often called precognition. These visions are sometimes symbolic and the person that experiences it has to try to decode the message that is in the vision. Other times they are very straight forward and the person is able to look straight into the future. Many people are of the belief that time is a spiral variant, not linear. This is why they believe you can see, at times, straight into the future.

In order to completely understand what precognition is about you must be willing to understand it. Many people believe that clairvoyance is the same as precognition. Clairvoyance allows people to see problems, situations, and people that are happening in the present and precognition involves things in the future. ESP, or extra sensory perception, is used in clairvoyance and precognition is more like a paranormal experience. Knowing before is the definition of precognition.

Dreaming presents the easiest way to experience precognition. Dreaming about the future is something that most people do from time to time but they are often unable to remember their dreams. They do sometimes feel a sense of "dejavu", or that they have been in the same place once before. This nearly always comes from a precognition that they have had in a dream but were unable to remember.

Some people who are trained mystics may even be able to see the future consciously in an awakened state. However, this happens only after a lot of practice and is not as common. These kinds of seers or mystics use their conscious will to see the future.

Some professional psychics also use old techniques like crystal ball and mirrors for precognition.

Anyone can achieve precognition. Once you have sharpened your intuitive abilities you are ready. Most people do not allow their mind to think past what their five senses can tell them. Listening carefully to intuition and gut feelings is important in order to develop precognition. The subtleties in the environment are valuable to give attention to and beginning to believe in your subtle senses is also very important if you want to develop precognition.

A person is made up of much more than a simple physical body and many people are not aware of it. The energies about them and their emotions play a large role in who they are as a person. This is why it is so important to pay close attention to how you feel on a daily basis so you can get a feel for what kind of day you will have in advance. Guessing games are very helpful in developing precognition. Using a deck of playing cards you can try to guess what the next card flipped will be.

Dreams are an important instrument in the development of our precognitive abilities; Try to start recalling your dreams after you wake up. Keep a dream journal on your bedside. Record your dreams in vivid details the moment you get up. If writing is too much for you (some of us find it cumbersome), then you can try recording your dream on a small recorder immediately when you wake up. If you do this regularly, you will find that you will remember dreams which you could never remember before!

If your dream repeats then you should think hard about what the meaning is that is hidden or look for any symbols and signs in the dreams that can lead you to gaining a better understanding of what the dream means.

Other than via dreams, you can develop precognition using hypnosis and meditation. Meditation is said to be the practice of allowing your mind to fall quiet so it is open to the highest levels of consciousness in the universe. It is commonly a belief that there is a central life force that flows through each of us and that we are all connected to each other by it. As you are able to clear the chaos from your daily life from your head your mind will become quiet and you can feel the connection to supreme consciousness and you will know the past and the future.

Meditation is a method that has been around for many years. Many thinkers, seers, and sages have used this practice all over the world. There are actually several ways to meditate. One group of people prefers to have perfect quiet and solitude when they meditate while others would like to have the natural sounds of life around them. No matter what the preference is, your mind will surely wander in the beginning and you may have to fight through several thoughts. Just keep brining your mind back to the thought of making the mind still and simply observing, not wandering into, the random thoughts that are going by. You will slowly find yourself in the area that the mountain of information is stored in the universal consciousness.

One barrier that we have to overcome when we begin the quest to develop precognition is fear. Many people are very afraid of the future because the end is always death and not being around the people they love any longer. The universal information is blocked by the fear. That is why it is so important to rid your psyche of fear in order to develop precognition. It is simple to develop precognition. It simply takes continuous commitment and a lot of practice.
