INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Amphetamine use should be treated like a medical condition or illness. If at all possible, see a doctor to discuss your amphetamine use and talk about how best to overcome it. A medical doctor can help you decide which method is best for you. A doctor can also recommend treatment centers and other resources. If you do not currently have a physician, contact your medical insurance company to find one. If you do not have medical insurance you can find a free or low-cost clinic in your area. Also, check with your local government for medical services or benefits for low-income families. If you are prescribed amphetamines by your medical doctor or psychiatrist, discuss your issue with the doctor who prescribed it. If you are using methamphetamine, an illegal substance, you can usually discuss this openly with your doctor without fear of legal issues due to doctor-patient-confidentiality laws. Make sure you ask the doctor about the limits of confidentiality (if you are a danger to yourself or others). Medications such as Naltrexone (Vivitrol), and Bupropion (Wellbutrin) have been implicated in the treatment and reduction of amphetamine use. Consult with your primary care doctor or psychiatrist. Treatment options such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) help to reduce or eliminate amphetamine use. CBT is a therapy modality that focuses on changing your thinking in order to change your feelings and behaviors. Speak to a clinical psychologist (PsyD, PhD), marriage and family therapist (MFT), or other licensed clinician. You can typically get contact information for therapists via your medical insurance company. You'll have two major options for eliminating your amphetamine use: you'll either tapper down under the direction of a doctor, or seek a detox program. It is not recommended that you quit all at once (cold turkey). Whatever you chose, you will need to have a plan or a treatment program in place to support your recovery. Think about the possibility of a detoxification program - an inpatient unit where therapist and medical professionals can evaluate you closely through the process of detoxification. Rehabilitation and detox treatment centers can be the best places to detoxify your system, but these solutions are not for everyone as they can be costly. Consider looking for a support group in your area. These groups often meet at community centers and other locations to talk and offer mutual support. Find out what is available before you start detoxing, so that you'll have a plan in place once things get tough.

SUMMARY: Talk to a medical doctor. Explore medication options for the reduction of amphetamine use. Get psychological treatment. Consider different options for recovery.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: This will be around late March. The conditions of spring weather make it the perfect time to plant anything, including guava trees. During the spring, the soil will be easier to break and dig into, rain will help water the plants, and the sun will be out enough to give your tree the necessary light it needs. The process of growing from either is roughly the same. However, while it's more common to plant guava trees by seed, cuttings are actually more optimal. Cuttings yield more fruit and fruit of better quality when compared to seeds, but seeds are cheaper. Remove rocks or other debris you come across while digging. Once you have your hole, loosen the soil a bit at the bottom with the tool you used to dig it. If using a pot, make sure it too is at least 2 feet (0.61m) feet deep. Fill the hole to about the length of your index finger to create a mound. For seeds, place them on top of this mound. For cuttings, hold it by the graft line or crown (the part of the plant where the stem meets the roots) and place it on top of the dirt, making sure that the graft line is above ground level. Then spread the roots across the hole. As the added dirt mound is created from already broken soil, it allows new roots to have an easier time penetrating the ground. If you're planting multiple trees, plant them 10 feet (3.0m) to 12 feet (3.7m) apart, so they don't cannibalize each other's water source. Don't compact the soil after you fill the hole, keep it loose. You want to make sure that your tree has room to spread its roots and grow with little resistance. For cuttings, take care that no roots are above the soil and that the graft line is. Cut off any roots above the graft line if necessary. Get low to the ground to make sure your cuttings are completely vertical once planted. Mark where you've placed seeds with little flags that can be easily removed once the seed has sprouted.

SUMMARY: Plan to plant during the spring season. Pick whether you're going to plant by cutting or seed. Dig a hole about 2 feet (0.61m) deep. Place your seed or cutting in the hole. Fill the hole around the tree or seed.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: The number one thing you can do to become more curious is to ask questions. Try to avoid taking material for granted. For example, if someone tells you, "Immigration reform is important", don't just accept that as fact. Ask questions, and figure out why. Then form your own opinion. If you are a student, you should ask questions about the material you learn in school. If your teacher says, "The Great Gatsby is the great American novel", don't be afraid to say, "Why? What makes it great?". Ask follow-up questions. Don't accept simple answers. If your landlord raises your rent, ask why. Make sure to get specifics. You'll learn more and be more informed. You can ask questions in one of two ways: begin with a broad question, and then ask gradually more specific follow-up questions. Or, do the opposite; begin with a narrow scope and gradually widen your focus. Both ways are known as "funneling" questions, and are great ways to spark new ideas and learn more about the topic. Imagine you are curious about women's rights. You could begin with a broad question, such as "When did people start thinking about equality between the sexes?" Then you could gradually get more focused, and ask something such as, "What was life like for women in Oklahoma during the 1980s?" To funnel the opposite way, you could reverse the order of those questions. Funneling is useful because it can help you brainstorm new questions to ask. Once you have a good question, figure out how to further break it down. Use your original question as a starting point, and then branch out. Thinking of new questions will encourage your creativity, because you'll be coming up with new angels from which to consider the topic. For example, you could start by asking, "Why do Americans vote along party lines?" Keep going by asking, "Does religion influence voting?" Then you could continue with, "To what extent does morality influence voting?" Each question can lead to another. The more questions you ask, the more things you will find to be curious about. One of the most important lessons to learn is that there is no shame in not knowing something. The only way to learn is by asking questions and gathering information. Don't ever be afraid to be humble and admit that you don't know something. At work, your boss might ask a question that you don't know the answer to. Instead of trying to pretend that you are knowledgeable, say, "I don't know. But let me brainstorm some ways to figure out a solution." Then let your curiosity guide you as you explore new ideas.

SUMMARY:
Question everything. Funnel your questions. Keep going. Be humble.
