Fighting Addiction with Prayer

Sunday, December 7th, 2008

Drug Abuse Focus He was a co-worker.

I didn’t understand the total scope of control that the world of drugs and the insiduous nature of addiction has over the victim.

When I  found out the rest of the story, and the plans of the company to fire this individual -everything started to make sense.

 If  his story  did not have such a heart wrenching effect- I probably would have given up.  Instead I started praying.

Everything quickly came to a conclusion without me ever saying a word. The drugs become a thing of the past. That person, from out of the blue, looked me in the eye and said “THANK YOU!”

Drug Abuse and Feeding Terrorist Networks…

Friday, December 5th, 2008

terroristsConsider this: the drugs that are bought on the street may be feeding terrorists. The very funds that the addicted person pays for his ‘score’ may have ultimately fed a terrorist network and the very attack that could show up in YOUR neighborhood could have been financed by a local addict. Scary, isn’t it? Can you imagine the ramifications of that?

I heard on the radio that many terrorist networks turn to trafficking drugs to finance their organizations and ultimately those funds could go to attacks in your neighborhood.

Yes, quitting drugs already is helpful in so many ways and this is just one more way. Maybe an addict doesn’t care about his own life anymore but what about his sister or brother or mother? Isn’t it scary? But the addict often cares for nothing but his drugs.

The terrorists win on every front. They finance their campaigns of terror and at the same time create scores of zombies who care for nothing but the drug they need to feed the monkey on their back. The terrorists get to destroy from within and without. They erode the fabric of society by feeding addicts their drug and creating new addicts whos minds can no longer function well or resist any type of terrorism.

I guess if I were a terrorist this would be my strategy too. I’d feed my terrorist attacks by turning the enemy into apathetic drug addicts and take their money to further my cause. Think it is happeing right now? Your comments below, please.

Meditation Beats Drug and Alcohol Addiction

Sunday, November 30th, 2008

maincontent1I have an acquaintance that plays drums professionally.  He plays for some pretty big time acts.  If I told you the names, you would recognize those bands immediately.

Anyway, this friend had a drug and alcohol addiction which is very common among people in his field.  He wanted to defeat this addiction. What finally worked for him was the meditation practice calledFalun Dafa.  He said this is what allowed him to beat his addiction despite constant exposure to others who lived in that fast paced world.

If you know someone who is suffering from an addiction that is super hard to shake (aren’t they all?) then maybe Falun Dafa meditation is the answer you have been looking for.  It’s just one method – different answers work for different people.  Freedom from addiction would be very much worth it.

Crack Smoker wastes my time

Saturday, November 29th, 2008

images1Anonymously submitted story. 

Went to the grocery store to get some breakfast, this guy comes up and says he broke the key to his car unlocking it.  He asked me if I could give him a ride to his house to pick up a slim jim.  He gives directions to Vine street.  He goes inside and comes out with nothing in his hands.  He gets in the car and says the guy was not home.  He starts having me drive down a bunch of side streets.

Then, he pulls out a pipe and starts smoking crack in my car.    

I told him to get out and he said, “I thought you were cooler than that” .  The whole time we were arguing he is smoking from his pipe.  After a couple of minutes of not getting out of my car  I threatened him.  He got out.  This wasted 2.5 hours of my time.   I was unhappy about the time loss. 

I would have driven him to rehab if he asked me.

The End of Drug and Alcohol Addiction

Wednesday, November 26th, 2008

davidWell, ok – that title is a bit grandiose.  But if you think about it, perhaps not so much.  The transformation occurs on an individual level. Others have beat their drug and alcohol addictions before.  Therefore it is possible!

I have many stories to share and it is my hope that others will anonymously post their stories – good and bad – about drug and alcohol use and abuse.  I hope that we can build an online storehouse of drug and alcohol related stores to serve as information, warning and a beacon of light to those who would like to escape addiction or those who love someone they want to help. 

It’s not easy to beat a strong addiction.  Perhaps a list of drug rehab centers would help.  Alcohol addicitons, while perhaps legal, are no less of a challenge. In some ways, they could be more of a challenge because of the legal status of alcohol.  Therefore, a list of alcohol rehab centers may also be useful.   You may find plenty of the same centers on both lists which serves to even further underscore that an addiction is an addiction and alcohol is simply another drug. 

Therefore, I encourage all to share their anonymous stories – please change names to protect all parties and leave out or change anything that could identify someone.  We are here to share the story, not the person behind the story.  If you are a doctor or counselor that works in the field, please feel welcome to share your stories, good or bad, about drug and alcohol abuse or anything related as well.  Everyone is welcome to post their anonymous stories about drug or alcohol abuse.
