			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong></strong>A question some alcoholics may wonder about is why they have such a hard time staying sober. Harvard medical school may have found an answer to that question. No, it isn’t the fact that they like to drink too much, it has to do with the way the brain reacts when someone has abused alcohol over a long period of time. The areas of the brain that is needed to maintain abstinence are areas that researchers were able to pinpoint when they did an imaging of the brain that revealed as being the most damaged from alcohol abuse. The study was done with a group of alcohol abusers verses a group of non-alcohol abusers.</p>
<p>The study found that brain images of those with high levels of alcohol consumption showed brain atrophy in areas of the brain which are the very areas that control the behaviour of the mind, such as controlling the amount of alcohol that is consumed by an individual. The images of the brain atrophy that showed damage can cause memory loss and speaking problems, along with other issues that are closely related to signs of drunkenness. These results are possible facts as to why alcoholism is so difficult to treat. Getting alcohol abuse treatment is the only way that many people can deal with the addiction. Alcoholism help is one of the most difficult things a person can ask for in their life, but without it they may never be able to fully function in everyday activities such as work and family life.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If anyone needs an excuse to stop using cocaine this one might be the best. You could possibly lose your eyesight due to the abuse of this illegal drug. Researchers have found a possible link between the use of cocaine and an elevated risk of developing glaucoma. The raised risk level jumps by an amazing 45% and increases the risk by about 20 years. So if you are 25 years old and using cocaine on a regular basis, then your risk of developing glaucoma is almost doubled that of someone who is 45 years of age!</p>
<p>Looking at some data that was available to the Veterans Health Administration, they were able to determine key factors when looking into a person’s history when it came to the past and present use of cocaine. While continuing research is still being conducted to see what other variants are involved, it is a very strong relation between cocaine use and high risk factors for developing glaucoma earlier in life rather than later.</p>
<p>While cocaine use can be very addictive, the cycle of use can also be broken. There are many <a title="ubstance abuse treatment centres" href="http://www.serenity.org.uk">substance abuse treatment centres</a> that can offer professional help and advice for anyone who is struggling with cocaine abuse. <a title="Drug abuse" href="http://www.serenity.org.uk">Drug abuse</a> is very prevalent in our society today, which is why it is so difficult to admit that there is a problem going on, even though all the signs are there. Get the help needed now before it is too late.</p>
