...NA meeting Radford Hall * Codependents Anonymous 6/16/2015 Tues 7:30 pm CODA Women’s Meeting Granada Hills 6/18/2015 Thurs. 7:30 pm CODA Tarzana Group Thursday Alcoholics Anonymous came into being in June 1935.The fundamentals of the 12 step programs has remained the same since 1935, however today the twelve steps are helping people with more than alcohol. Today many 12 step program have form and also alternative 12 step programs with more God or God being removed but at the basis level it is the twelve steps. I also believe the twelve steps are just basic tools that all people need or most people have received the basis tools when growing up in a healthy family system. The 12 steps teach humility, respect, honest, caring, and to be of service, these are the essential for all people. I always share with people who want to DO the twelve steps but don’t know which program they qualify for, I just say pick one. Find a group that works for you find your tribe like the big book says. I remember meeting someone that gave a message from Mother Theresa and she said the message was to remember “we do much bigger work that she ever did, we touch the lives of the hopeless and give them hope” Mother Theresa. That is powerful, Twelve Step programs transform lives. I have been a twelve...

...Twelve Step Program Unk Author1 1 Kaplan University Abstract This paper is about the twelve step program and the lasting affect it has on individuals who suffer from addiction. The twelve step program is a treatment program that holds people accountable for their actions to overcome their addiction and head down the road to recovery. This paper also explains an organization that I want to observe who implement the twelve step program among other things like a phase based treatment program. A phase based treatment program, is a structured program set up for individuals who recently were released from prison or jail. The program is intense and structured leaving the offenders accountable for their own actions, progress, and success. Once the offender has completed all their phases successfully they are up for graduation, where participation in their alumni is encouraged. Twelve Step Program Twelve step programs or self-help groups are designed to help in the treatment and recovery of addiction and are highly effective with a lasting success rate. The main focus of self-help groups are to bring people together who suffer from addiction and provide an emotional support system along with valuable information. Self-help groups are great for individuals to be able to relate to something or someone, because they may not get that opportunity out in their personal life. They get pressured into using, pressured into stopping, given ultimatums, etc. and all they really...

...There are times in an individual’s life when he or she may have difficulty coping with day-to-day activities. Some get through these activities and the end results turn into them being stressed. One coping mechanism that a person may resort to when stressed, angry, or just want to relax after a hard days work is drinking alcohol. This may become quiet dangerous to someone’s health because drinking can turn into a habit. People who are notorious for drinking everyday become alcoholics. A human body can become immune to the alcohol, which results into overconsumption of alcohol. In other words, the more a person drinks, the more drinks it takes for them to actually get drunk and satisfied; this person experiences alcoholism. There are specific meetings for people who know they are alcoholics and want to seek help to quit, as well as people who are mandated and ordered by the law to veer away from alcohol. On Tuesday, March 26th at 8:00pm I went to my first alcoholic anonymous meeting. The meeting name is called Wayward Open, which means the meeting type was open to anyone that cared to join. The location of the meeting is at Our Saviour Church (1234 N Arlington Hts Rd, Arlington Heights) on every Tuesday evening for an hour or less. Before the observation I felt intimidated and scared to enter the church. The reason why I was scared to enter the group was because I thought I would be looked at differently since I was not an alcoholic. I also felt like the members would gain up...

...12 step reflection paper 12 Steps to recovery is it for you? The 12 steps to recovery is used as an aid with other therapies not just by its self. It is not for everyone, every addict needs a unique/different approach to recovery, and the approach that will work best for you is dependent on your individual beliefs, needs and circumstances. In my opinion Faith in a higher power is one of the most important things needed in the traditional 12-step process. So therefore if you do not believe in any kind of higher power the 12 step programs are probably not for you. If your faith is important to you, you may need to find a program that will allow you to really embrace your beliefs. For many people, a traditional 12-step approach works for them, but others need to focus on a more tangible way of focusing on their recovery. The 12-Steps are more than just a way for some people to stay sober. They’re a map for living life as a whole being in their interpretation. They consist of the universal spiritual principles like tell the truth, treat others as you’d want to be treated, monitor your failures, apologize for them and make things amends if you can do so without hurting others. The Steps provide tools for living a full, satisfying, meaningful life. These steps mean admission of alcoholism, it’s a personality analysis and catharsis, adjustment to personal relations, dependence upon some higher power and working with other alcoholics to better themselves together. Step...

...Last night, I attended a Narcotics Anonymous meeting. This was not quite a new experience for me, be my late father was an alcoholic and narcotics addict that died of cirrhosis later on in my life this is why I identified myself with them. Narcotics Anonymous is a fraternity or association where there a recuperating addicts and their main purpose is stay clean. Consequently, the member of this fraternity were well-groomed, yesterday was ice cream sticks day where they had a keyword written on a little piece of paper, such as “perseverance”. Anyone can be a narcotics or alcohol user. Furthermore, as I stated previously Sunday night I attended was a NA meeting. This meeting included one woman and approximately eight men, all the attendees were recuperating addicts. Personally, I did not feel out place or anxious around them because, I identified myself with them by my personal experience with my father and myself being that some of the medication I take for both my emotional and physical disability are addictive as well. This experience was not any different from my experience with the Alcoholics Anonymous fraternity as well because I stayed sober or clean from my occasional drinking habits because suffer gastritis or acid reflux. . As the apostle Paul wrote inspired by God “Older men are to be quiet and to be careful how they act. They are to be the boss over their own desires. Their faith and love are to stay strong and they are not to give up; teach older women to be quiet...

...12-Step (Alcoholics Anonymous) Reflection Log • What occurred at the group? The group started with formalities that many of the persons there seemed to be familiar. There was recognition of persons at different points (anniversaries) of sobriety. The group had people of all races and ages. There was a structured “sharing” where the group leader called on different people to share. The group was open to anyone who wanted to speak and share their story, progress and goals. There were a couple of breaks where I noticed a lot of people smoking and drinking coffee. • How you felt about it? I was nervous and felt guilty about my role as “observer”. I was general in my response but had to be honest and, therefore, couldn’t make up an alcoholic identity to share. When they asked if I wanted to share, I followed some of the others and simply stated “pass”. It was a little awkward because I felt as though I should say something or felt pressure to say something. I felt as though I didn’t belong or that they were wondering why I was there. It’s funny how I was the odd one with a problem because I did not share. I felt amazed by the stories and how open some were. • What you learned from it? I learned the workings of AA and how very important it is to identify oneself to leadership in the future. I learned that this is not limited to certain ages, races or economic status. This is something that can happen to anyone at any time...

High-field magnetic resonance imaging assessment of articular cartilage before and after marathon running. The American Journal of Sports Medicine (38, 11), p. 2273-2280. doi: 10.1177/0363546510372799 2. Purpose and general rationale. What was the general purpose of the study? What questions does it raise? The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of long-distance marathon running on articular cartilage biochemical composition using high-field quantitative MRI. It raises the question of effects long-distance running has on the articular cartilage immediately and distantly after running a marathon. 3. Fit and specific rationale. How does answering the research question(s) add something new to what is already known? If the study is a replication, why is that important? The study is capable of getting better results than the previous studies in this area because the researchers had higher quality MRI’s to look at the T1 and T2 markers. 4. Participants. Who or what was studied? (Number and key characteristics) Ten marathon runners between the ages of 18-40 years old. Criteria for the runners were 1) no more than 3 marathons run previously, 2) no marathons run in the past 4 months, 3) no history of knee pain (less than 1 month of knee pain in any given year), 4) no decrease...

...Attitude and thoughts are factors on how an individual interacts on a daily basis. These ideas can be good or bad but either way it affects how we act towards people and ourselves. In some cases we have to take a step back and analyze the reasons why we act the way we do. There are ways we can do this by writing how we feel down, having someone analyze us, or taking surveys. The LSI survey is a way we can see where we fit in amongst other individuals. This survey helps assess our personality characteristics and other traits according to how we interact in society. I took the survey to see where my personality traits rate with other people. I will go over the results and how a person can learn and change from them. The LSI survey is a circle that is broken in many parts. There are 3 areas that the circle is broken into which are satisfaction needs, task orientation, and security needs. The primary part is the satisfaction needs whereas the backup tells you what causes these traits. When it comes to the scoring of the survey I had my highest in the constructive styles 1, 2, 11, and 12. These help with self-enhancing thinking and behavior that causes satisfaction. Number 1 is the humanistic encouraging The Humanistic-Encouraging scale measures our interest in people, our tendency to care about others, and our ability to encourage them to improve. Humanistic-Encouraging people are accepting of themselves, and accept others for who they are without any issues. I believe...

...Now that my group mate just explained step 1 and step 2 of building an REA diagram which include the determination of events, agents and resources respectively. Lets move on to the step 3: determination of cardinalities. Cardinalities describe the nature of the relationship between the entities and are represented by the Row'`s foot notation. Circle means 0, stroke means 1 and crow`s foot means many. 1) Step by step. For this relationship we have this cardinalities. For each inventory type, the minimum inventory order and inventory receipt is zero, because if you dont purchase there will be no inflow of inventory and the maximum is many, because it can be more than one inventory item per order. 2) The inverse relationship shows that per each inventory order and inventory received there could be a minimum of one inventory associated and a maximum of many. for obvious reasons you can buy more than one 3) Next is a bit trick. We have to remember that order inventory is a commitment event, and when commitment events are linked to other events they reflect a cause and effect relationship . In this case the order will cause the receipt to happen, thats why the maximim will be one in both sides, however the inventory receipt will be the minimum for each other because in the case of ice cream you may not receive the inventory since delivery happnes in the next day. And for each received inventory the minimum order is also zero, because in the case of ordering toppings you dont have...

...himself. The supervisor also found him work to do and did not just keep him doing odd jobs. Some of the weaknesses include that Jacob did not receive sufficient training even though the task was easy just watching him do it a couple of times does not suffice. The supervisor did not acknowledge the fact that sometimes some people take longer to learn something even if it’s an easy task. The supervisor should have had a senior employee training Jacob if he did not have enough time to do it. Also the supervisor did not check back later in the day to see if everything was going okay and if he had any questions or if he needed support. The supervisor was consistent with Step 2: Instruction, of the job instruction training, he gave Jacob the instructions of how to do the job. However the supervisor failed to do the other 3 steps including preparation, performance and follow up. The supervisor did not fully prepare Jacob to do the job even though the job was simple he did not complete a vital part of preparation and that is communication. He did not see how much Jacob already knew about the task and develop a communication strategy that fits him. The supervisor also did not provide and feedback or reinforcement while Jacob was doing the job even though he watched him do the job a couple of times instead he just left him once he thought he got the hang of it. Lastly, the supervisor failed to follow up with Jacob, he did not monitor Jacob’ performance and at the end of the shift see how it...
