Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

I had had a caffeine addiction or at least withdrawal for weeks now. I have been and still am taking a vitamin with 200 MG of caffeine. I have been resorting to every non-caffeine stimulant that I can get my hands on (eg, Siberian ginseng, non-caffeinated energy drinks, Kombucha, energy gummies, even cold showers LOL). I have woken up every morning with a huge headache. I had drunk multiple energy drinks last night, but I was crying out to the Lord, and, amidst doing so, I reasoned, "Wait; He wouldn't want me to be irritable due to caffeine; He is going to take care of that." This whole day, I have not felt any need for caffeine, let alone a withdrawal headache. I was so more wide awake than Katy Perry that I pulled an all-nighter with almost no effort. GOD IS SUPER GOOD!

Praying for Such For You All As Well By Every Spiritual Blessing in Him,
Brian.

That's a good report Brian. Praise be to God. I'm a caffeine addict too but so far I am OK with that.

Amen, turning to god all in all over things that obsess us all in this world is best, to begin new in learning g from God in God's spirit and Truth, amen to you Zanzoken
This world has a bouncing ball, to get us involved in it, to hopefully upset us, and get a hold of us, that have chosen to stand to believe in the living God, at least this has been my journey.
I at one time heard, it is the coffee you drink, that brings out the sex drive in you. I heard this in me, I immediately quit coffee, then felt a little prideful over it, as the drive diminished. Then I heard from Paul in the Bible, to not let anything control you on this earth, it is not really good for you. then read Proverbs 23:1-7
I went back to drinking coffee, and am okay. I saw to let only God have God's loving way make new it new to me in that too.
Yet evil does not give up, as I am learning, learned to let go and stand in trust to God alone, who will not try to control me as I have done that to me and others and see as no-good to do that now ever.
Freed to see truth over errors in this world we are in and not a part of once belief sets in us, at least me. Oh and am not saying I have attained, only God has for us all to stand in thanksgiving and praise all sin taken away at that cross for us by Son to us
Psalms 103:12, John 19:30, Matt 5:17, Hebrews 9:14-17 Read them all in context and trust God as you have and have seen it work out in you
The entire Bible to me is from God a Gigantic love letter to us all

Feeling guilty about anything we are presently doing can be a good thing IF!!! it draws you more to our Jesus!! We all have faults of course but those faults we have drawn us always for our Lord Jesus to keep us in him! Jesus knows our weakness, but what we need to know is that through our weakness we can gain strength through our Jesus! As our brother Paul stated! (2 Cor 12:9-10!!!) Blessing all!!

Instant breakthroughs are exciting, but I’ve found that real progress often comes with time and patience. Those quick wins are nice, Whether in life, work, or personal projects, but they don’t always stick.

When I’m looking for something to help me unwind and think clearly, I like to reach for thc weed gummies. They’ve become my go-to for easing stress and allowing me to relax after a long day. Surprisingly, a little calm can lead to fresh ideas and insights. Maybe the real breakthrough is finding what works best for you.

I have found breathing deeply then holding it in naturally calms me down naturally, Yes we each are on a journey to figure out what is beneficial for us to be calm in the troubles here on earth at hand it seems always that way
When doing this breathing, I learned to sit down, breathe in through my nose and hold it for a minute at least, then let it out my mouth. there is an instant calming in this body, I do not know how or why this does that in me. It just does and I am thankful to God over it. Amazing exercise for me to be calm. thanks for your post I got reminded of this exercise

That's usually a gateway to other harder things. Just ask this Racoon that got into this guy's chocolate.

I know that some use it for medicinal purposes. That can be discussed.
However, I ask that you will refrain from posting any more links to THC products since it is also used recreationally by many and usually is. It may tempt foolish young people into experimenting, leading to drug addiction or overdose. I've seen those who suffered consequences of use that led to broken family relationships, imprisonment and many problems that could easily been avoided by never trying it.

Young people, did you know that there's a big study showing that about a third of Schizophrenics are that way because of marijuana use?

https://www.scientificamerican.com/...-to-schizophrenia-especially-among-young-men/

I had a cousin who was probably the friendliest, most likable relative. He died a few years ago far younger than he should have. He smoked pot and eventually started having hallucinations. He heard voices that weren't really there and all kinds of preventable health problems. He was diagnosed with a major brain disorder that started from smoking pot. If that wasn't bad enough, the psychiatric Drs prescribed even more dangerous drugs. He was taking drugs that would cause him to become disabled and sleep all the time amongst other serious symptoms that probably caused his ultimate death. He had a garden and a positive outlook on life, got along well with family and strangers. If it weren't for the first use of marijuana, he would probably be alive, healthy and sane today.
I miss my cousin and wish he were here today.

Did you know that marijuana has a reputation for being laced with other drugs/ chemicals? There are many who would lead us to believe that it's like vitamins.

In addition to it's inherent potential for serious health problems, some of the sellers will add fentanyl or something else to increase effects and make it more addictive. That's possibly how people are overdosing and dying from it and synthetic derivatives.


Keep in mind that some companies pharmaceuticals have factories in China. China is known for the most dangerous products. You might have read about poisons in children's toys and baby formula. Those were products from china. China sells a lot of chemical and drugs. It's usually impossible to know the sources of prepackaged products. They might go through different middle men before they get to the buyer. The first middle man who buys and repackages the product might know he's getting it from China. After that, you are rolling dice. Most products are made in China because they use cheap Communist labor that is much like legalized slavery. Life to them is cheap and the products are cheaper than American made. Communists leaders run the companies and Americans are despised. It's no wonder people get poisoned from the Chinese and the MDs / psychiatrists who prescribe heavy duty dangerous drugs.
They are doing it for the money. If you talk to people who are in the industry, you will learn that human lives are cheap and the love of money, which is the root of all evil, is what motivates them.

Hopefully you value your life, your friends lives and your families. Please avoid friends that smoke pot and protect your little brothers and sisters.
Life is precious and so are you.

To a long life of health and happiness to my little brothers and sisters here.
🍵🙂👍
