    Autobiography: Chemical substances and how they affect our brains have always fascinated me.

    Substance Abuse by Fisher and Harrison, chapter 6: This chapter began with explaining the definition of use, misuse, abuse, and dependence which is very important to know since it helps mental health professionals in determining the appropriate intervention for each client. I feel this topic must be explained in a chapter alone because I also belong to a religious group and I know how these terms are confused. This chapter also focused on the assessment which is important for all mental health professionals not only to gather information, but also to avoid misdiagnosing client problems. The critical part of the assessment process is the psychosocial history which involves various areas that need to be assessed: AOD use history, family history, social history, legal history, educational history, occupational history, and medical history.…

    On March 28, 2016 I attended my first AA Meeting. Not really knowing what to expect, I found that everyone was nice and very welcoming. There were people from all walks of life, from adolescence to geriatrics. Although they were all very different, they all shared a commonality, to maintain sobriety.

    I went to an Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) meeting, held Wednesday at the 12 Step Club, located inside the Yard Birds mall, in Chehalis Washington. I had gone down the day earlier in the week to make sure I knew all the logistics, where, when and how long it would take, whether or not it was an open meeting, and so forth. The room was in a shopping complex the size of a small mall (305,00 square feet to be exact), and the room itself looks like it had retained the furniture and paint from when it was originally constructed forty-five years ago. Frankly it looked cold, old and moldy, with bleak, dirty, concrete block walls. The gentleman I talked to had long pony-tailed grey hair down his back, of an age impossible to determine, was washing dishes…

    During most of my "drinking career" I never really considered myself an alcoholic. I mean, I functioned in life normally. I had a house, a wife, kids, a job, never in trouble with the law, a faithful church goer, a youth sports coach... etc. I never showed up to functions under the influence, never missed work or important dates because of drinking, I thought I had it under control. Other than being anxious and not feeling so well physically, nobody in the outside world could even tell I had a problem.…
