Don’t you hate waking up in the morning to congestion, runny noses, and such? I do too. Most likely it’s allergies that are causing this problem. Sometimes, though, it’s not. It might get blamed on allergies, but sometimes it’s something much closer to home. Dust and particles floating around your house could be the real culprit.

If you’re not keeping your windows thrown wide open all year long, you’re house has buildup that can cause particles which irritate your sinuses. These constant barrage of particles and junk floating in the air takes its toll on your sinuses, especially during the deep breathing of sleep.

So how do you prevent this? Home air filters are the easiest way and can be quite effective if used properly. These great little machines will pull air into them, filter out the bad stuff, and emit only clean, breathable air afterwards. They’re great!

Not only do they clean the air, purifying it and clearing most of the particles and ugliness out of it, but they also clear a lot of the floating dust particles from the air too. This means your furniture and house will look much cleaner with less effort from you. Added bonus!

You, your pets, and your family are all shedding skin, hair, and more all day every day. Sounds ugly, but it’s true. These tiny flakes of skin fall to the ground, onto furniture, etc. and worse, make a place for “dust mites” to live. Many people are allergic to dust mites and don’t even know it. Nor are they aware that the mites live in their homes.

Air filters won’t cure this, but they sure will cut down on it. Vacuuming and cleaning or using hepa filters regularly will do the rest. While you can’t eliminate dust mites from your home one hundred percent, you can cut them down to numbers so small they’re insignificant.

As soon as you start using an air filter, you’ll see results that will make you feel better about your home. In a few days, your sinus problems will be gone for good and you’ll feel healthier and happier. Over time, you’ll also see that your dust is lower, requiring less cleaning from you, and more!

Air filters are a great addition and no home should be without one.

Alcoholism involves every member of the family; how else do you explain the fact that children who come into Alateen rooms generally report that they have more problems dealing with the non-drinking parent than they do the alcoholic.

What? But I don’t have a problem! He… him… he’s the alcoholic! He’s the one who causes all the problems! He’s the one in trouble all the time …

True, but he’s also predictable. Kids can read the alcoholic like a book. They know exactly when it’s the right time to ask for extra money, or to go somewhere with their friends, and also know when it’s time to make themselves scarce and get out of the way. They know the routine as far as the alcoholic is concerned. But they never know where the bedraggled non-drinking parent is coming from next.

One minute the non-drinking parent is screaming at the alcoholic and the next minute she may be compassionately rescuing him from the consequences of his latest episode, i.e. dutifully cleaning up his messes, making excuses for him and accepting an increasing degree of unacceptable behavior.

The reality of alcoholism changes the life of the entire family, the attitudes and thinking of everyone changes perhaps more dramatically than it does for the drinking spouse and is often hard to recognize. Why? Because it creeps up slowly.

Frog in the Water I was sitting in my AA meeting when I heard a story about a frog in the water. The story goes went this:

If you put a frog into a pan of boiling water, it will jump out faster than the eye can see. But if you put the frog into a pan of water that is the frog’s body temperature and then slowly turn up the heat the frog will stay in the water — even to the point of boiling alive. Why? Because the frog does not notice the gradual change in temperature.

Alcoholism works the same way… the heat is slowly and continuously turned up but nobody notices the temperature change. Cunning and baffling! It’s an ongoing, insidious disease. It normally begins with the casual acceptance of what would otherwise be considered unacceptable behavior. As time passes the behavior slowly grows more and more unbearable, but it is still being accepted and soon becomes the “norm.”

What you finally end up with is chaos that a few short years ago would have been unthinkable. If you looked out the window and saw the same kind of things taking place across the street at the neighbor’s house, you undoubtedly would pick up the phone and call 9-1-1 to get those people some help!

An Insidious Disease As the behavior becomes routine, the last thing that occurs to us is to pick up the telephone and get help. We are slowly drawn into the thinking that the alcoholic should be protected. We learn to cover for him, lie for him and hide the truth. We learn to keep secrets, no matter how bad the chaos and insanity all around us has become.

Few realize that by “protecting” the alcoholic with little lies and deceptions to the outside world we are in fact creating a situation that makes it easier for him to continue in his downward spiral. Rather than help the alcoholic we actually enable him to get worse.

The heat increased so slowly, over such an extended period of time, nobody realized the water was beginning to boil and it was time to jump out of the pan.

The disease will continue to progress for the alcoholic until he is ready to reach out and get help for himself. Waiting for that to happen is not her only choice.

Other family members can begin to recover whether the alcoholic is still drinking or not. But it can’t happen until somebody picks up the telephone and asks for help. There is hope and help out there.
