'I have Peace knowing that I have a good friend.....He helps me get through the day..'
Why begrudge some their little friends that help them through the day, if they don't cause harm? Reminds me of the rolling stones song.
Mother's Little Helper
(Jagger/Richards)
What a drag it is getting old
"Kids are different today,"
I hear ev'ry mother say
Mother needs something today to calm her down
And though she's not really ill
There's a little yellow pill
She goes running for the shelter of a mother's little helper
And it helps her on her way, gets her through her busy day
"Things are different today,"
I hear ev'ry mother say
Cooking fresh food for a husband's just a drag
So she buys an instant cake and she burns her frozen steak
And goes running for the shelter of a mother's little helper
And two help her on her way, get her through her busy day
Doctor please, some more of these
Outside the door, she took four more
What a drag it is getting old
"Men just aren't the same today"
I hear ev'ry mother say
They just don't appreciate that you get tired
They're so hard to satisfy, You can tranquilize your mind
So go running for the shelter of a mother's little helper
And four help you through the night, help to minimize your plight
Doctor please, some more of these
Outside the door, she took four more
What a drag it is getting old
"Life's just much too hard today,"
I hear ev'ry mother say
The pusuit of happiness just seems a bore
And if you take more of those, you will get an overdose
No more running for the shelter of a mother's little helper
They just helped you on your way, through your busy dying day.

Do you "think" that JW's and Born-Agains are "addicted" to religion?

Perhaps drug addicts are people who have a deep need to experience the transcendent religious feeling that religious people are able to experience, but who are unable or have no desire to do so by engaging in religious ritual. Are the same neurotransmitters juiced by both practices? It'd be interesting to know.
I smoked mj almost every day from the time I was 17 to about 20, but I found that over time, instead of experiencing the relief from anxiety that I got the first time I smoked, the anxiety kept getting worse. When I made the decision to quit smokin' the wiid it was one of the easiest decisions I've ever made. Likewise, when I was initially studying with JW's and reading the literature, I experienced a fabulous relief from the anxiety and sadness that had been my lot for many years, but it wore off all too quickly, and after eight or nine years of involvement, I was as angry, sad, and anxious as I had ever been - a complete mess.
So, I struck out both as a lightweight THC addict and a fundy religion addict. lol. Nowadays I think I'm a bit of an internet addict. There's worse things I guess.
