Given the description, you could be experiencing mental dependency on narcotics. It doesn’t seem that you are physically dependent on narcotics currently. In time, if you don’t stop abusing narcotics you may develop physical dependence of the drugs. Mental and emotional dependence on drugs is defined as a need for narcotics to achieve pleasure. Physically dependent addicts require narcotics to stay alive. You can ask for expert help from a mental health doctor for drug addiction treatment. Many former addicts have also found a way to keep the "mental withdrawal" in control by joining support groups like Narcotics Anonymous, or Alcoholics Anonymous. These groups advocate complete lifestyle and belief change in order to recover from addiction. You can visit their websites at www.na.org or www.alcoholics-anonymous.org to look for a meeting near you.

I smoked weed for the first time and it has been over a week and I have lost my sense of touch, smell,and taste. I am scared that this is permanent....do you know why this is happening to me

Can you give any more information? What did the weed look like? Did anyone else smoke it with you?

Can you not feel anything? How about on your tongue? Your fingertips? Have you had someone else (friends, family) test your senses? Don't be embarrassed. How about your sense of pain? Gone entirely?

Check for touch first. Smell and taste can be too hard to discern. The brain is a funny thing, and weed definitely affects your sensory input. Part of what might be confusing is that you find equilibrium with your environment, so it's hard to test senses without large changes in their input.

How about your thinking? Besides what stresses you out about this, do you notice any very intrusive differences?

When you're affected by something, the first thought is always, "is this permanent?". That's too hard of a question to answer. Your knowledge doesn't go away, but most people don't have their lives ruined from smoking it once.

Weed is definitely more than it's made out to be. Because it was your first time, it might have upset you more than the friends who probably gave it to you. Your body knows what's best. Don't smoke any more of it, although it calls you to figure it out. That's the trap.

All the weed I smoked has done nothing special for me, by the way.

If you have decided that becoming a Yoga teacher is your passion, your next step is to create a plan of action. When doing anything that requires a major change, a call to action is one of the hardest hurdles to overcome. There are so many people who wish for goals, but do not plan to go after them. Let's look at a few ways to make your plan of action to become a Yoga teacher.

What kind of help or support system do you need to teach Yoga? Remember the saying, "no man is an island." Everyone needs encouragement, even if you are very confident in your abilities. Will you need financial help, educational resources, or to be mentored by a local Yoga teacher? Make an assessment of what you need and plan accordingly.

What should you learn about becoming a Yoga teacher? If you really want to teach Yoga, you should explore every resource, every yoga teacher training course you will get, try to expore them asmuch as you can. You should also learn about how to succeed in the Yoga teaching business. These factors will also determine how fast you progress once your Yoga teacher training course has concluded.

Where should you learn to teach Yoga? There are many options for Yoga teacher training, so let's cover a few of them. If you decide to take an on-site Yoga teacher training, please avoid the weekend certifications. These programs may teach you a few postures and breathing techniques, but you will likely know little more than the average Yoga student.

I have the same problem of not being able to get off of the medication. No one knows that I am taking the medication and when I don't take it I have severe diarrhea. I want desperately to get off the medication and live a normal life but it seem as though my whole life is crashing before my eyes and it's so hard to deal with it. I have been turning my life around for the last 3 years but since I moved to TN things have been downhill every since.

Hi,
Narcotic drug addiction is physical and mental dependence on certain kinds of drugs. Narcotics change your response to sensations. Narcotics also produce mood changes, unconsciousness, or deep sleep. Examples of narcotics are heroin, codeine, morphine, and methadone.

I have been an addict of opiates..pain killers etc.. for almost 12 years and i can tell you absolutely positively yes! When you take the pain meds you release all these feel good endorphins from the brain.
