Q. I have found an increase in drinking. I want to leave it as I lose a lot of money once I drink heavily. I think I am becoming an alcoholic. My drinking habit has changed and it’s increasing. I cannot stop drinking till I forget about myself. This strains me when I get involved in a fight with my friends due to over drinking. I have tried to withdraw but I cannot leave. I think I cannot leave it. Whenever I had tried to leave I have found an increase in drinking. I want to leave it as I lose a lot of money once I drink heavily. How can I get the help?

A. I know exactly what you are going through. It seems hopeless. You crave to drink to make it all feel better. But it ends up every time dragging you down the woilet even further than the last time. Its kind of an insanity. A love-hate relationship with drink. There no way to win against it by your self. You have become totally helpless against it. Sooner later its going to kill you and you know it. Its hurting you and you can't stop it.

That's the problem "YOU". You have exactly the same problem "I" have.
We think we can beat it and master it and perhaps be like those guys in the movies who can drink until the sun comes up and do it again and again, night after night. We don't want to go to heaven unless Jack Daniel's is there.

Get this! You are an alcoholic. I'm an alcoholic. Bloody drunks you and I.

Except there is "one thing" I know that you maybe don't know.

That one thing is that there is a power greater than ourselves that can save us

Q. How can I leave him here and take care of my work? Please help me out. Hi friends, I met my brother after a year and half and he behaves differently. He is just 8 years old as I am quite busy with my work I admitted him in a very distant boarding school. When I met him he was very happy and I made him to stay with me at least for those days when I am here. I am a security person and I need to travel all over the globe to provide service. The very next of my stay with him, I happened to note a change in his behavior and he gets angry for silly things and becomes very happy after some time. I am shocked with this behavior and strongly doubt whether he suffers from Schizophrenia as my uncle too had that defect. But my friend says it looks like bipolar. How can I leave him here and take care of my work? Please help me out.

A. Waylon, I would make sure that you notify the school of what has been going on. If they are spending the time with him when you are away they may have some information for you that you are unaware of. Not only that but I would work on getting him a diagnosis and some treatment. The school can ensure he is getting whatever types of meds and theropy that he needs in your absence. The first step though is getting a diagnosis so the treatment can begin. 8 years old is young but not impossible to develop symptoms, is the school a good school? Is it possible that something tramatic has happened to him there? Is he being bullied? He could be acting out for different reasons as well. Keep all possibilites in mind. I would have him evaluated because there is a history of mental health in the family. Be of support to him at this time he is obviously going through something... I hope all turns out well and things get better soon for both of you.

Q. Any ideas about why she leaves some food in her plate. Thank you for your visit. My daughter is 8 years old and she is a poor eater. She never wants to eat dinner even if it's her favorite dish. And then she picks it and an hour later she says that she feels hungry. She never completes her plate, always leaving a bit, no matter what we feed her. Should she be forced to eat dinner and if she doesn't, have only the dinner to eat later? Any ideas about why she leaves some food in her plate?

A. She trusts her mom. The most common reason to be like this is she knows that she will get something to eat later from her dear mom. While she shouldn't be forced to eat, she should learn that her main meal in the evening will be served at the dinner time.
Some other things that you might do to help deal with your picky eater include:
• Make sure that she isn't eating a big snack after school or filling up on juice, soda, or even milk before dinner.
• Offer her smaller portions so that there isn't as much left over on her plate.
• Don’t offer bribes or rewards for eating.
• Never talk about dieting, calories, and such, especially if she or other family members have problems with being overweight. Instead, talk about eating healthy.
• Consider not offering her anything else to eat if she misses dinner or just offer a small, healthy snack.

Mainly a visit to your Pediatrician to monitor her growth, development and eating habits would also be a good idea. Hug her now!
