The Regret of Honesty: A Policy of Truth? | Brent Weyhrauch | LinkedIn - 0 views

  • "I’m an airline pilot-turned “alcoholic.”
  • I made an unusually ‘non-alcoholic’ decision.
  • The airline industry is quite literally awash in shameless, alcohol-fueled antics, some of which would rival most college campuses.
  • ...5 more annotations...
  • Employee Assistance Program (EAP) called HIMS (Human Intervention Motivation Study)
  • I made the decision to ‘pick the phone up,’ not fly intoxicated, and exchange my intact career for a chance at what was described by HIMS as,”…the right thing to do to salvage your career…,” not knowing then, what I know now, was a decision I would come to regret with increasing frequency.
  • I was terminated by my airline in September of 2013.
  • Should I have told the truth? Should others now tell the truth (at this airline, and industry wide) knowing that they could be destroying (and not ostensibly saving) their own careers?
  • Unemployed (and now, unemployable)

What if We Really Treated Addiction Like the Disease It Is? | The Fix - 0 views

  • Dr. Howard Wetsman argues that most addiction treatment has been misguided and ineffective but that we are finally able to "throw away the cookie cutter" and "treat addiction like the disease it is."...Richard Juman, PsyD
  • We don’t really believe that addiction is a disease!
  • in spite of the language that we use in describing addiction as a disease, we don’t actually treat it like it is a disease
  • ...8 more annotations...
  • That’s because with every other chronic disease we look at data. With addiction, we believe.
  • As long as we think of addiction as something a “normal person” has done to himself by using a drug, we will only see it as a temporary abnormality brought on by bad behavior.
  • The mindset behind this advice is that addiction is really just a long-lasting intoxication that will eventually go away, leaving the person normal again; this is not a true understanding of addiction as a disease.
  • I found that she had a polymorphism of Methylenetetrahydrofolate Reductase (MTHFR), an enzyme that turns folic acid from our diet into L-methylfolate, the only form that our brains can use. One use for L-methylfolate is as a co-enzyme in two stages of the production of dopamine.
  • based in biology and developed from essential principles.
  • “Addiction is a primary, chronic disease of brain reward, motivation, memory and related circuitry. Dysfunction in these circuits leads to characteristic biological, psychological, social and spiritual manifestations. This is reflected in an individual pathologically pursuing reward and/or relief by substance use and other behaviors.”
  • We can finally treat addiction like the disease it is in nature.
