The Power of Powerlessness – A Story of Alcoholism and Recovery

By Billy Steel

59321


At last, a book from one who has walked the walk. Billy Steel provides an insight into alcoholism rarely seen. It is the story of one man’s journey into chronic alcoholism and subsequent recovery.

The Power of Powerlessness – A Story of Alcoholism and Recovery is the true story of a man who was taken by the ravages of alcohol from the peak of an Oxford education to close to the hopelessness of the gutter but who then fought back to make a full recovery to long held abstinence.

What catastrophe are we waiting for?

Whether you call it “wild weather” or “extreme weather” or “weird weather,” this summer is providing many examples of exactly the kind of extreme weather events predicted by climate change scientists.

Some areas are experiencing drought (like the U.S. Southwest, the Russian breadbasket, and parts of Australia). Some are being deluged with so-called “500 year” rain leading to flooding (Iowa, Pakistan). Weather at the poles, where temperature increase is three or four times what is happening elsewhere on the globe, is leading to massive melting and breaking off of icebergs. That includes an iceberg the size of Massachusetts that broke off of Greenland the other day. Temperature in Moscow has broken the 100 degree mark for the first time in 130 years of recorded history.

Pakistan’s worst flooding

Published Tuesday 17th August, 2010

News Source :  The Observer

pakistan-floods-006

Two weeks into the worst natural disaster in its history, Pakistan is braced for further flooding as waters in the upper reaches of the swollen Indus river reach critical levels.

With more than 1,600 people confirmed dead and as many as 20 million made homeless, the country is reeling from the scale of the catastrophe wrought by torrential monsoon rains. The prime minister, Yousuf Raza Gilani, said Pakistan now faced challenges similar to those during the 1947 partition of the subcontinent when as many as 500,000 people were killed.

Abducted Children Forced to Fight

Published Tuesday 24th August, 2010

African Rebel Group Forces Children to Become Soldiers, Sex Slaves
The Ugandan rebel group Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA) has abducted more than 697 adults and children over the past 18 months in a largely unreported campaign, Human Rights Watch learned.

Nearly one-third of those abducted in the current campaign are children. Many are being forced to serve as soldiers, and girls are often forced to have sex with the group’s fighters. While interviewing 45 children who had been held captive by the LRA, Human Rights Watch learned of dozens of cases where the LRA forced children to kill other children and adults, often by beating them over the head with clubs.

During the abduction campaign in the Central African Republic and in the neighboring Democratic Republic of Congo, the LRA killed at least 255 adults and children. Some were killed for trying to escape, others for walking too slowly, or for being unable to bear the heavy loads they were forced to carry.

The LRA, one of Africa’s most-feared rebel groups, replenishes its ranks by brutally tearing children from their villages and forcing them to be fighters. Some villagers who were abducted, but then escaped, said the LRA questioned them about school locations indicating the rebels may have specifically targeted children.

NHS Under Threat

Published Tuesday 24th August, 2010
38 Degrees
The government wants to use the budget deficit as an excuse to make massive changes to the NHS. Experts have warned that these plans are a big threat to our services and will lead to privatisation of the NHS. Old Tory dreams of privatising the health service could finally come true.[1]

No one voted for this. During the election, David Cameron told us the NHS was “safe in his hands”.[2] But now, Cameron thinks he has the momentum to push through an extreme programme with the backing of hardliners and private health companies. Together we can make him think again.

Right now the government is weighing up how much they can get away with.  How deep can they cut? How much privatisation can they force through at the same time?  We can’t leave this debate to politicians. If thousands of us get together now and sign the pledge to stand up for the NHS, they’ll know just how many people don’t want to see our health service torn to pieces.

Sign the pledge to stand up for the NHS by clicking here:
http://www.38degrees.org.uk/protect-the-NHS

Money may be tight. But the government is still planning to find billions of pounds to fund new Trident nuclear submarines. [3] These changes to the NHS are about ideology, not saving money. Some Tories have always wanted to trash the NHS. Last year, one MEP described the NHS as a “60-year-old mistake” [4] and another MP said that the NHS “would not be out of place in Stalin’s Russia”. [5]

But these hardliners have never managed to get their way, because the NHS is popular with voters.  People power has stopped them before, and it can stop them again.

We need to show that the NHS has the support of tens of thousands of people. Everyone has been touched in some way by the NHS. It’s there at the start and end of most people’s lives. Everyone who signs the pledge will be added to a map of the UK, so politicians can see for themselves how many thousands of people want to defend the health service from political attacks. Every MP will be able to see people in their own constituency who don’t want the NHS to be destroyed.

Add your name today so politicians know how many of us are standing up for the NHS:
http://www.38degrees.org.uk/protect-the-NHS

If we celebrate what’s positive about the NHS, and fight against plans to destroy it, we can make David Cameron back off. If we prove that attacking the NHS will be unpopular across the UK, we’ll strengthen the hand of those in government who want to soften the approach.

We know that people power works. Nearly a year ago, thousands of 38 Degrees members got involved with our “Stand Up for the BBC” campaign. Since then, we’ve fought back against attacks from the BBC’s commercial enemies, seen off plans to “top-slice” the licence fee, saved 6 Music from closure and challenged Rupert Murdoch’s plans for media domination. If thousands of us working together can achieve that much for the BBC, we can do at least as much to protect the NHS.

Click here to promise to stand up for the NHS:
http://www.38degrees.org.uk/protect-the-NHS

Thanks for getting involved,

David, Hannah, Johnny and the 38 Degrees Team

PS Changes to the NHS will hit us everywhere. Already in Leicester, a children’s heart centre faces closure; in Oxford, the mental health budget is being slashed and in Berkshire, 600 NHS jobs are being cut. In Wales they’re a massive £1.9 billion of cuts over the next five years. Help prove that people are standing up for the NHS everywhere too – click here to add your name to the thousands already on the pledge: http://www.38degrees.org.uk/protect-the-NHS
