I know that I drink on a regular basis, and sometimes get drunk on the weekends like a fool like everyone else. I am an avid cook, and love to have wine tastings at my house and explore that part of the whole culinary experience (pairing wine with foods), but I think because I cook every night practically or have friends over, that I end up drinking like, 3 glasses of wine 4 nights a week and then have a blowout weekend just for fun. I told myself I would stop for a while, and I did, but then I'd cut into my celibacy against wine a few days early because i thought "oh who gives a ****"... etc etc. So I am thinking, maybe I am excusing myself from having a real drinking problem because I am hiding it behind the mask of it being a "culinary thing". I've been thinking about going to AA a lot but I am not sure if I want to pledge complete abstinence from alcohol, just control. Serious control. And perspective too.. Is this making sense? I would love serious thoughts only pls.

I have to write an essay for my economics class based on how much population, growth, and advances in health/medicine will impact the U.S. economy in the future. Any ideas? Or any sources that would help me?

When I was younger, I had such a bright and outgoing personality. I was cheerful, sweet, ready to take on just about anything. Now (a few years later), I have changed for the worst. I am shy, very very low in confidence, like to keep to myself and don't even communicate with my friends that often anymore. The more I am pressured by my boyfriend to do something, the more I shy myself away from everything. I feel pressured so much, I don't even know what to do in my life anymore (I don't know what I want to become anymore as far as profession). I do not like the person I have become and I don't know how to get back that person I used to be. It hurts me a lot, I don't even know what to do with my life anymore. What am I suppose to do?

What should I conclude? Should I ask him more questions? I think maybe he's addicted to sex. He said he would never go through with anything he fantasizes about. If he's just curious, but thinking about dating me, then shouldn't he reconsider what he's doing looking at porn and in chat rooms? He asked me if I wanted to look at 'male porn' with him, and I just didn't know what to say. I really like him, and I don't want to judge him, but how is this going to affect me? I don't want to get burnt or put on the backburner due to his possible 'addiction'/curiosity.

It feels as if everyone knows I'm a bad person and did bad things in the past (which I have done), I think it effects the way certain people act around me and the way I act towards them.
How do I deal with this?
Do people really care years after the fact?

Is it right for somebody to have a never ending income from the taxpayer without making any sort of contribution? Also would it be a good idea to penalise criminals by giving food vouchers etc in place of cash?

Is my body language conveying some wrong message?

Do the girls insecure? Or do they feel some sort of guilt, knowing that Muslims approve of modesty rather than skin flashing.

I actually have to tell them to relax and "I'm not looking there" for them to feel at ease.

I'm a bearded Muslim and I look directly into people's eyes when talking.

What do you think?

Such as with insecurities, safety.... For example, I feel insecure about some things in my future. I always panic, feel overwhelmed, and sometimes become controlling. But in the end....everything works out ok. So the feelings and stress were a waste of time....So would it be better with peace of mind to feel secure and not be? What do you think?...And this can go for physical things too.
