Unbecoming a Nurse - Paula Davies Scimeca, RN, MS
Until now, the dilemma of chemical dependency in the nursing profession has not received the factual, unbiased and sensitive treatment that this complex issue merits. By all accounts, the most conservative estimate is that one in ten nurses will develop a problem with drugs and/or alcohol within their lifetime. Some studies suggest the prevalence is double that. Given the millions of nurses licensed in the United States alone, even the lower assessment of ten percent represents nearly five hundred thousand individuals. If one were to calculate this number on an annual basis over a seventy year span, this would mean that more than seven thousand nurses cross an invisible line into what often becomes a very visible problem each year in this country.
From Unbecoming a Nurse to Overcoming Addiction - Paula Davies Scimeca, RN, MS
From Unbecoming a Nurse to Overcoming Addiction: Candid Self-Portraits of Nurses in Recovery is the long awaited follow-up to "Unbecoming A Nurse" which will be released in June 2010. The book chronicles the recovery of twenty-nine nurses from twenty states. These men and women come from a multitude of social backgrounds, beliefs and age groups. They represent the gamut of nursing specialties and various addictive disorders, including alcoholism, prescription drugs, illicit drugs and nicotine. Some nurses have also profiled in their story process addictions, such as compulsive gambling, eating disorders and codependency.
Addict Nation - Jane Velez Mitchell
Americans are being lured into a slew of addictions. And what we are addicted to isn’t necessarily illegal or even hard to come by. Prescription medications are making us high. Fast food is making us fat. The Internet keeps us constantly distracted with everything from porn to gambling to compulsive social networking. Television bombards us with violent scenarios. From billboards, to online pop ups to commercials, we’re seduced into buying more stuff we don’t need while we drown in growing debt. Massive profits fill the pockets of a handful of “pushers” at the expense of everyone else.
Sadly, what’s happening is the exact opposite of what our founding fathers had in mind. The United States of America was created to precisely to celebrate“life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.”
This book is designed to be a blueprint for change. But, first, we need to wake up to what’s happening.
This….is an intervention!

Attracted to Addicts - Trina Hayes
From the author of Just Love Her: A Mother’s Journey of Healing Through Her Daughter’s Drug Addiction comes a new concept. Trina Hayes calls it ATA3—attraction to addicts, addiction and addictive behavior. Attracted to Addicts? It’s Your Time for Healthy, Happy Relationships is a timely book that will speak to those who have thought they were alone in choosing the same kind of relationship time after time.
Attracted to Addicts? is dedicated to those who are struggling to learn to love and forgive themselves. The author gently guides readers to review the patterns in their relationships. If you have ever found yourself in another relationship with an addict and wondered, How did this happen … again? this book is for you.
“Sometimes,” says Hayes, “the only way to identify why these unhealthy attractions are in your life is to recognize that the common denominator of all your past, troubled relationships has been you.” She adds that with that realization, you can take back your power and create peace in your life. “By understanding why you have attracted certain people into your life,” the author asserts, “you can let go of unhealthy relationships and learn how to attract and build new, healthy relationships.”
Hayes is a gift to those who know her. She connects with people heart-to-heart, and because of her experience and desire to live a healthy, happy life and create intimate, reciprocal relationships, she is able to encourage others to do the same

It could be your doctor, lawyer, postal worker, or the little old lady that lives next door. Incomprehensible Demoralization drew me in and held me captive.

Through the Lord, his Church, the support of his family and AA, he has become a recovering addict. Combs seizes every opportunity to help others. Share his witness.

Drugs and Death at Bagram - Flamingo Productions
On July 12, 2004 Army Specialist John Torres was found dead in a latrine at Bagram Airfield Afghanistan. His death was ruled a suicide, but members of his unit and family believed he was murdered. Initial information received by the family led them to believe that U.S. military personnel in Afghanistan may have killed John for talking openly about heroin use. We would prove John’s claims about heroin use to be true, but the information would not lead to answers in his case. Fifteen months after John’s death the family was sent a copy of the Army’s Criminal Investigative Division report. The report was heavily redacted and missing dozens of pages, and stated John’s death was a suicide resulting from “anxiety and unresolved somatic pain.” But the truth was written in the pages of the document the CID did not send, and in 2007 we obtained nine redaction free pages previously pulled from the report. The nine pages were an evaluation written postmortem by an Army psychiatrist, whose findings would shock and anger the family.
The psychiatrist states that John’s “somatic-anxiety symptoms were not sufficiently severe, based on objective findings, to precipitate such an extreme [suicide] response.” He goes on to say that John’s “psychological stressors were likewise mild, especially in contrast to the very promising future that [he] would have begun in earnest in just two months.” But the psychiatrist agrees John fired the weapon that took his life, and the answer to why lies in what caused his anxiety and unresolved somatic pain. The psychiatrist points to another factor, the anti-malaria drug Lariam, which the Army has claimed is safe, and is not linked to any military suicides. But the psychiatrist’s report proves otherwise, and suggests the Department of Defense has been misleading military personnel, and the public, for years.
Dead Meat - Steven Ferry
If what is going on in the world today frightens you, then Dead Meat, How to Deep6 the Darth Vaders in Your Life Without Breaking a Sweat is your way out of the mess. It finds bottom on why things just seem to keep getting worse. When enough people wake up to this information and say “That’s it, no more of this!” we’ll have hope again, instead of vague feelings of hopelessness.
Think of this book as the Fifth Cavalry, bringing hope just when things are looking pretty bad. The simple truth is that every bad condition in any civilization has been made that way by bad people— Darth Vader Wannabes— who are bad not because they believe in something you don’t, but because they are driven deep inside by the need to do bad. Nobody said it made sense, but that’s the way it is.
Dead Meat answers, finally, the question of “How can you know who the bad guys are when they don’t wear black hats or black suits of armor?” If you feel your life could do better if you knew who in your life, close or far, felt it should go worse, then read the book.
