As a family member becomes increasingly alcohol dependent, most families find themselves wishing they knew what to do. Initially we all tend to look the other way and hope that we’re wrong, but eventually most of us will start getting angry as the side effects begin to spill over into our lives. Then were also, probably, going to feel guilty about being angry. It is, after all, a disease, isn’t it? How can we be mad at someone who is ill?

Lewis Thomas, M. D., essayist and late Director of Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, once wrote that in medicine the most difficult part is knowing that “frequently the best we can do is to stand back and quietly

Perhaps the most controversial of all drug screenings is the random drug test. Employers have the legal authority to request a random drug test, whether they have a reasonable suspicion or not. Many companies have implemented a policy of completely random drug testing. This practice can be likened to that of a lottery.
