I used to be a very heavy drinker and it was causing problems in my life. Drink drink drink and always sick and miserable the next day, almost impossible to go to work. Caused problems with friendships and with family. I drank to cover over my severe social anxiety problems but of course it caused more.
When I started using MJ, I very quickly and substancially cut back on my drinking. It has helped calm my anxiety and stress more than I could put into words. I used to miss a lot of work because I would be too hungover to get to work and was always worried about losing my job, but I never miss work anymore since I started using MJ. I am a much calmer, reasonable person, have been able to overcome my social issues and make real friends (not all pot-smokers by any means) and has helped with my back and neck problems. I always got sick off of pain meds that doctors give me and know too many people addicted to painkillers and have seen them ruin their lives so I was scared of them anyway.
With MJ, I of course enjoy the feeling i get when I use it, but I don't feel a need for it like i did with drinking. I can use it every day, then just stop for a while with no withdrawal issues.
The health risks associated with MJ are incredibly lower than many other legal products. The only people I know who have gotten into trouble over MJ are people who were arrested for possesion or fired for failing a drug test, NOT because they caused any kind of harm or damage due to using. On the other hand, I cant count the number of people I have met who have injured themselves or wrecked a car due to alchohol abuse.
Sounds tough to believe, but MJ has made me a better person.

I have been in several older halls that had basements and a few of them had little kitchenetes. When I was in Bethel, my hall had a basement with a little kitchente in it that they let us use because on Sundays we would come out and have a long dayin the territory so it was a place we could relax while waiting for the meeting.

GB: "We don't know if Jehovah wants us to build new headquarters, but we're doing it anyway..."
by cedars inthe latest august 15th watchtower study edition features an interesting review of the society's annual meeting.. one comment struck me as evidence that the governing body isn't quite as "discreet" as it claims.. here is what the article said:.
"there are plans to develop a 248-acre (100 ha) property at warwick.
'although we are not yet certain of jehovahs will regarding warwick,' said brother pierce, 'we are proceeding to develop the site with the intention of relocating the world headquarters of jehovahs witnesses there.

We don't know if all the crap we write in these magazines has Jehovah's approval or not, but we are just going to go with it and take away all your family and friends if you dare question it.
amiright?

Elders probably "encouraged" them to work it out and stay together.

That was so motivational it woke my dog up and he felt the spirit! OK, he grabbed the tennis ball and ran it over to me, but I think it was still the spirit.

Hey BotR, you have shared kind words with me in the past (I recently had to switch usernames). I never knew you were in such pain with your health problems. I stopped praying long ago, but I wish you the best and hope that something can be done to help you make it through and be strong.
