There’s all kinds of addictions, but this one takes the cake …
This past June a Swedish man, Roger Tullgren, 42, was granted supplemental income benefits by the Swedish government’s employment service.
Tullgren was granted this income based on his illness of addiction to heavy-metal music. Maybe he should have held out for a structured settlement, although I’m not sure governments do those kinds of settlements.
Tullgren stated that he’d been addicted to the music for 10 years and finally succeeded in getting three psychologists to sign papers officially calling his condition a disability.
He’s now allowed to play music while he works as a dishwasher.
Unbelievable!
It seems that we keep hearing more and more often about people having problems with drugs, alcohol and even Pain Killer Addiction, don’t we? I don’t know if the problem is becoming worse, or if people are just being more open about the fact that they have a problem and the fact that they’ve gone to rehab to get help.
What do you think?
Certainly the stars seem to be more open about going to rehab these days!
If you, or someone that you know, has a problem with alcohol, drugs or appears to be addicted to pain killers you might want to visit the Sunset Malibu rehab facility.
The residential alcohol rehab and drug treatment center is located just outside of Los Angeles. The facility specializes in substance abuse treatments, alcohol detox, and pain killer treatment, as well as combination problems including eating disorders and depression.
Sunset Malibu is a well known treatment center where those in need of treatment for addiction problems can go and stay in a lovely private location.
Visit the website to get more information about their traditional and non-traditional treatment methods, and to view photos of the accommodations and facilities.
If you or someone you care about is struggling with an addiction problem you might want to take note of this addiction treatment referral service. The site is located at 1800nodrugs.com and they are a non-profit service that takes toll free phone calls from people seeking drug rehab.
The website can also be used as a great source of information for those trying to determine if they have an addiction problem or for their loved ones to learn more about specific types of addiction such as prescription drug addiction. There’s even an online drug rehab assessment form that can be used by suffers or their friends and relatives in order to gain more information about treatment.
The service is completely free and I think that’s great because some people with little or no income might hesitate to seek information about drug rehabilitation treatment because they fear that it will cost money. Now they can call, completely free of charge, and get information about rehab services in their area.
I’ve never been much of a better but I do follow Football, baseball and hockey games and occasionally enter into friendly bets with friends. I do know a lot of people that bet seriously on games, well on just about anything really. I guess it can be addictive, and maybe I’m just lucky that it never caught on too much with me.
I did find a site that I’m told is one of the oldest sports handicapping websites online today. Jimfeist.com offers Football Picks and full game analysis on all major games and sports including basketball, football, hockey, baseball, horse racing, golf and many more. Free picks are offered daily as well in order to showcase the handicapper’s talents at calling the game’s winner.
Jimfeist.com has everything you need to stay ahead of the game. There are several sections to the site including scores and stats, Proline, Sports Picks and even contests - there are four active contests right now. You can also get workbooks and magazines, sports schedules, schedule updates, league reports, plus information from Linetracker.com and OffshoreConnection.com.
I know I’m going to have to tell a few friends about this site so they can get their sports picks. I’ll probably never see them anymore once I tell them about this site ’cause they’ll be too busy hanging out on it doing all their sports betting.
