Bless you and may you be uplifted and given strength to overcome the demon of addiction upon you. Until your military service has required you neutralize enemy combatants and invaders in the defense of your country, don't presume to tell us that have defended you that you don't support every shot we fired to eliminate that enemy. |

To know where your heart is, look where your mind goes when it wanders. A rock in bad hands killed Abel. A rock in good hands killed Goliath. It isn't about the rock. A true warrior fights not because he hates the one in front of him, but because he loves those behind him. INTP-A |

Second I want to do it for my brothers who are much younger than I am and used to look up to me. I will do anything to be the man they looked up to again. Quoting: detjohnkimble That’s wonderful but do it for you. You deserve to have a happy life OP. You can do this. |
detjohnkimble (OP) User ID: 77531256 United States 04/20/2019 09:26 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | You're in my prayers, OP. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 76903529 If you're withdrawing from alcohol or benzos, though, you really need to seek medical help. That shit will kill you. It may seem petty compared to things others struggle with, but its currently marijuana and laziness. Unfortunately for ease of access/use I started using dab pens about 5 months ago and quickly went deeper into addiction than smoking flowers ever took me. I don't think the weed is evil, I think my abuse of it was. There are many people who can use it in a healthy manner, I may have as well if I were smoking natural growing herbs instead of the cracked out weed they sell with ultra high thc and low cbd content, but that is still a cop out in my eyes. I did not have the self control to limit my use, and am suffering for it. I can say I would NEVER recommend the use of thc based concentrates to anybody, ever, and several of my friends who also had issues agree. More than anything I'm just so humbled and blessed that Jesus came and gave me the nudge I needed to make a huge change in my life. I don't ever want to lose my relationship with God again. |

The Lord God is your FATHER and he REALLY REALLY LOVES YOU. Everything you have been through...either self inflicted or from outside has been part of your growth process. Seems the tree is about to bloom for you OP. He has been there with you every step...every hill...every valley...he has been there monitoring his tree. Pruning here...trimming there...allowing the weeds to grow large enough to rip them out by the roots. All you have to do is be willing to be weeded. And you are now. The timing is PERFECT. Relax now into daddys arms...trust him...let him bather the dirt of years of wandering away one day at a time. Let him love on you now. He always has...its WHY you still live. He has a PLAN for you OP...a WONDERFUL MINDBLOWING PLAN...and its one he worked out JUST for you. In the days ahead MILLIONS of "prodigals"...dirty...hurt...wounded...will be coming home to dad. YOU...and others like you..KNOW WHAT THE PIGPEN IS LIKE...and more importantly...HOW to leave it behind. You will be on the forefront. Not one second...not one experience of your long long journey will be wasted. You have learnt what you have learnt for a good reason. You will help the other prodigals come home. But first...let him wash you and love you...rest awhile in his arms...talk to Him as a Friend and a dad. He loves you SOOOOO MUCH... And your destiny WILL BE FULFILLED. I look forward to meeting you fellow prodigal. Bless you...stay strong...trust..and above all..DO NOT condemn yourself. You are FORGIVEN. And loved. Welcome home Bro. Welcome HOME. |

detjohnkimble (OP) User ID: 77531256 United States 04/20/2019 10:19 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Thank you everyone. Your replies mean so much to me. I believe you're right, I can't be the only person feeling this awakening inside of me. Luckily I have sober friends to be around and just telling them my problems has lifted such a huge weight off me. I'm the kind of person who has always kept things bottled inside, I've always had a hard time trusting and confiding in others and asking for help. This outpouring of love is amazing, both from my friends and family and all of you, my extended family on this earth. |

Slapped out of dream by jesu User ID: 28823367 Canada 04/20/2019 10:42 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | " the same thing happened to me last nite..I had a dream and God SLAPPED MY FACE so wtf is going on. My girl friend and I are getting closer to God lately and he literally slapped me awake told me to surrender to her wishes which was to leave my over demanding jobs and the money tied to it and all the sick people involved. She demands we go to Costa Rica immediately where we have a place, I have used on and off for 20 years and I've decided I don't want to disappoint God and have stopped lying and deceiving and breaking all my sins and have repented sincerely for all of them and I've done alot. God has shined down on me and protected me my whole life and satan doesnt want me in gods arms it is obvious. I went from being a real tool of satan to close to gods arms with the abuse gone I should be back home with God. I know how to pray and address our lord always with father in heaven with jesus on roght side or our praying to any God. I pray daily. The demon of greed is the most dangerous next to war. And satan had me on so many levels. Now he is losing his grip and God is smacking his hands off." |

detjohnkimble (OP) User ID: 77531256 United States 04/20/2019 10:51 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I'm curious about Ibogaine, can anyone tell me more about it. I know I will get through this by the power of God being channeled inside me but I am curious. I tried mushrooms once in a tea that my friend brought, but it felt tainted to me. Still, I came out of it with the concrete knowledge of believing in infinity and that we are capable of ANYTHING we dream of. Somehow I lost that belief but am feeling it once again. |
SoberLife User ID: 77369593 United States 04/20/2019 11:27 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I worked the 12 steps, and I've been sober and happy since 2012. I noticed you mentioned "cut back". That is a delusion, impossible. The only way to recover is to never use again, so get that shit out of your head. A large number of my old friends and acquaintances are dead. This is a life or death situation, so give it the urgency it requires. Remember, you got yourself into this situation. You can't think your way out of it. You don't have the answers, otherwise you wouldn't be in this situation to begin with. Take your ass to a meeting, shut your mouth and listen. Good luck. |

Thank you for your thoughts. Reducing my usage these past two days has really helped with the withdrawal symptoms. Previously when quitting smoking flower I would experience insomnia for a couple of days, maybe being able to sleep finally at 5 or 6am until 10am. This time around my dependence on the thc is high enough that just cutting back gave me nausea yesterday and I have been using dramamine since to help with that. I'm using a cbd only extract as well to better balance myself out and to help sleep. I can only take it one step at a time but going cold turkey would be much harder than weaning myself off this time. Funny enough the last time I stopped using it wasn't for any special reason, I just wanted to take a "tolerance" break and it ended up being nearly a year without weed. Then when I came back to it this past time around I went to the thc dab cartridges. I am determined to quit and with God's will I shall. I will look up my local AA meetings as a few of you have suggested. |

The Devil tries to convince everyone he doesn't exist. The state tries to convince everyone they cannot resist. Do not go quietly into the good night. Rage Rage against the dying light! |
