My problems

[nate8469]

I have slight problems. They are not super huge bad or anything. I recently took benadryl, which in high doses can cause hallucinations. I now it is bad, but I do it from time to time. I just don't want to feel a depdency on it. I am just asking for an e-intervention, and some prayer to help me with this time. I have had some things go wrong lately, and I idiotically chose this as an answer. I have great faith that God will lead me out of this trouble.

Considerable overdosage can lead to myocardial infarction (heart attack), serious ventricular dysrhythmias, coma and death.

I would say it is more super huge bad then most drugs

Not smart to play around with drugs like that.

Said a prayer for you

Hi Nate!
Bringing things out into the open exposes the truth and there is no longer darkness in that area. God begins His work. Anything we take to try and change how we feel about ourself can turn into a problem. Even over the counter meds, and as Bellicus said Dangerous.
Where you are in life right now may be a bit confusing and need direction, stuck on something. The key is finding a healthy way to get passed and through it, with- out stuffing it.

Praying for God to lead you
Talking to your Pastor
Talking it out with a friend
Writing it down on paper, an tearing it up
Being in a quiet place with God like a nice walk
Seeing a counselor

If in anyway you are being hurt or bullied it is important to reach out for help to someone.

Praying for you

It may be out of boredom. Regardless of the reason, it needs to stop, I know. I know it isn't good for me, its just the rush I suppose. I'm sure I could eventually become dependant on the drug for sleep, and later on those horrible things could happen. Thank you so much for bringing that to my attention. I thank you so much for your help.

Any stop smoking tips? That too is something I would like to stop.

Instead of leaning on the substances lean on God as you trouble solver no the substances. Because the truth is no matter how much you use it will NEVER solve anyone of your problems. Only God can do that. Here is a quote by joyce meyer:

When you are struggling with problems/troubles you need to get your eyes off of your weakness/habit and get your mind on God. The bible says: "Walk in the spirit and you will not fulfill the lust of the flesh." What does that mean: Read the bible more, listen to good music, praising and worshipping God, less time worrying, less time trying to figure out your problems, less time struggling, less time being afraid that if you don't overcome this God will reject you and more time just Hanging on the vine. Guess what? God will give you the strength to overcome that weakness and that flaw. If you are struggling with something you don't need to put more effort in it you need to spend more time with God, you don't need to call up four friends ask them what to do you need to spend more time with God. - Joyce Meyer

Please...at least pick a different substance to mess with!!!! I am so glad you are coming for help because this is not one to deal with like that. You sound a tad like me...not a big problem, just now and then...yea, I've had my stints with stuff similar. Try to dig into the bible when you're feeling the urge to dip into some other realm. Take a walk. Get an accountability partner so you can stave this off. Keep coming back here and talking to us...we want to know how you are doing.

Thank you all so much. It is really a huge step forward knowing that so many of you care. I have not done it since I began this thread. I am feeling more connected with God than ever before. He has really brought me out of this. Thank you all for your wisdom and kindness. God bless you all.

This brought tears to my eyes. It was very moving. Thank you.

If you want alternate states of consciences but don't want addiction I would have to advice you try grass. I've been smoking gonja for a good 2 years, I still have good grades and I'm not a failure. But I am a godless heathen.... but that was before the pot.
