As I was driving this morning Tom Ford by Jay-Z played on the radio. As I thought about the words, I don’t pop molly, my mind drifted to my pot head days. I used to smoke to cope with depression. At some point I could not enjoy anything without it. I needed it to eat, to sleep, to stop crying, to deal with stress, to celebrate, to be happy, basically to live. There was a point where I wanted to stop but it still took another year to completely quit. Now I get high off Jesus. I experience a greater high from praising. Substances poison the soul and body. It’s a temporary fix that is deadly. Praise heals the soul and body. If you suffer from substance abuse and want a way out, I challenge you to quit and try praise. If you don’t know where to begin, talk to God. He will show you how. Even if you don’t want to praise, just quit. Get help and a good support system. Don’t pop!

Funny, I was just thinking the same thing today…lol! (No, I’m just kidding). However, this is so honest! It is brave of you to share the personal note about the “trickery” which pot and other substances play on us.
I too get a much better “high” from praise to God, and encouraging others as the Lord encourages me! Super thoughts…
The True Light
Yup. I’m glad I found the best alternative to surviving this crazy world!
Yep to your “yep!” The Lord made this world and He made us. It’s just natural that He would be the best answer in a sometimes very crazy life.

I am so glad you shared that with me. I often like posts in the hopes that someone will check out Doodles and be encouraged by one of the messages on my page. I am proud of you! I am confident you will make it through many more weeks and years of sobriety. 😀
Still going strong! Thank you 🙂
That is a WONDERFUL accomplishment! I hope you will inspire others to do the same.
I hope so too. Addictions are hard to beat!
