I rememeber at 14 years old how a good friend's Dad used to buy us beer, alcohol and cigarettes. At the time we thought it was cool. His Dad's view was that it was better for us to indulge in things like that at his home other than in the streets. I don't fault him at all. We grew up rather quick. I remember smoking joints on the way to school with his dad driving the car. Needless to say, by the time I was 16 yrs old, though I didn't consider myself an addict, I'm sure if there was an test for addiction, I would have passed it with flying colors.
I stopped using drugs for one semester, my last semester in high school to make sure that I graduated. Then from there it was off to the military. Druggies paradise! More on Paradise.....Click Here!
Since 14 yrs of age, I've probably spend half my existence with impaired mental abilities due to drugs, alcohol and cigarettes. I look at the drug culture from a different perspective.
I feel that individuals who have never used drugs, alcohol or cigarettes yet condemn those who do, are candidates for mental bondage to the same vices. Those that say, "I don't smoke, don't drink, don't chew....and don't hang around with those that do", are self righteous. I believe God gives the grace to live a certain way and it's foolish to believe that our behaviors are the results of our own intentions. At the same time, I believe God can change our appetites, desires and motivations and enable us to live in ways the yield great returns both here and here after.
With this in mind I started this blog and connected it to this Self Help Group. Feel free to join and take advantage of all the Free E-Books.
Thanx and God Bless!
