Welcome
Let me take your hat,......
this is a difficult thing for me to do, i used to be a jehovahs witness 20 years service as a pioneer.. last thursday it was announced from the platform at my local kingdom hall that i was disfellowshiped.. it was a bit of a shock.
i still have a deep sence of anger at what happened to me and its so unfair.. it started 3 years ago when i began to feel ill and i missed a couple of meetings.
the elders were wonderful and came round and cheered me up.
Welcome

my anxiety and stress levels are really bad lately.
i think i'd be doing myself a favor to quit caffeine, as it has become a real catch-22 for me, where i need it to stay awake, but it causes me to lose sleep, so i need more of it to stay awake, etc.. i've learned through experience that i'm very sensitive to any sort of chemical substance that affects neurotransmitter flow, and, given my general propensity towards depression/anxiety/paranoia/add, i think that at least one thing i could do to give me a calmer, more stable neurotransmitter mix would be to eliminate caffeine.
i've tried to reduce before, and i've found that i just start making excuses to have a little more, a little more, until i'm right back where i started.. so, i'm just wondering if anybody else has had a similar experience where they felt the need to not just reduce but eliminate caffeine altogether, and if so, how did it go, did it help, how long has it been, etc.
I haven't quit entirely, but I limit myself to one cup a day and only at work first thing in the morning. The rest of the day I drink water and work and juice/V8 at home.
It wasn't that long ago I would drink coffee all day at work, hit the bar after work and usually pub crawl in the evenings. I hit the wall and quit drinking hooch for a year, during which time I switched to coffee in the evenings as well. I was pretty wired all the time but I guess it was better than being drunk. It took a toll on my body, no doubt about that.
I haven't made a pot of coffee at home in months. I don't miss it and rarely have it in the evenings or on weekends. There's nothing like a good Starbucks though,.....
generally i find that if a girl is interested in me she makes it quite obvious by her actions and words.
i'm fine with this.
however there are times when a i really can't tell and this is the problem i'm grappling with at the moment.

What a bunch of depressing, cynical, and whiny songs you fellas are listening to. Why I am not surprised?
And this statement is what exactly? ;-)
i thought of a new life slogan:.
don't end up on the wrong side of history.
die before armageddon!

...inform any mis-led watchtower member, that jesus didn't die of liver failure or lung cancer at 33 years of age.
he died, because the unloving, uncaring elders of his generation, where jealous and power hungry.
any time any watchtower idolater calls at your door, inform them that jesus did many things (john 21:25).
Welcome Jah
Good comments. Don't take no bs, eh?
