November 29 POWER IN THE PROVERB
Fearing people is a dangerous trap,
but trusting the Lord means safety.
STEP : 4 I will take a searching and fearless moral inventory of myself.
That includes me ! Back in the day when at the height of my addiction I was afraid of the man I had become and what I was capable of.How far I was willing to go to satisfy my needs.my whole life was trap , a trap that for a long time I never thought I would get out of .By the grace of GOD I barely escaped with my life.Working step 4 forced me too really look at self and how destructive I was to self.even now 13 years have passed there is still memories that haunt me. Step four forced me to forgive myself and it freed me from my own self made trap.Trusting the LORD and working the steps will release you from the fear of self.

November 28 v 14 POWER IN THE PROVERB
Blessed are those who fear to do wrong,
but the stubborn are headed for serious trouble.
STEP 3 :Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of GOD !
My middle name was trouble ! But way deep down inside my heart their was always this nagging feeling ,every time I did something wrong. My life was ruled by addiction ,pride , selfishness ,anger and hate. Nothing stood in my way from getting what I want when I wanted it.The Proverb mentions serious trouble and looking back that is the truth.Unfortunately being that stubborn will only wreck you in the long run.Steps one and two took me 16 years before I gave in and step 3 must immediately proceed the first two.At my rock bottom is when I realized I needed to look up not only for help but release from the guilt and shame that was suffocating the life from me.Broken in tears I gave all my pain and burdens too the Lord and when I did it felt as if a Volkswagen had been lifted off my chest.It took years too clean up the mess of my life ,but looking back I can honestly say the Proverb is true Blessed are those who fear to do wrong. We are GODS creation and when we live separate from HIM we will be left to our own vices.

Ibuprofen Can Reduce High From Marijuana: Mouse Study
By Join Together Staff | November 22, 2013 | Leave a comment | Filed in Drugs& Research
Anti-inflammatory drugs such as ibuprofen can reduce the high created by marijuana, a new study in mice suggests. The research could have implications for studying marijuana as a treatment for people with Alzheimer’s disease, the Los Angeles Times reports.
Marijuana can calm inflammation in the brain, a hallmark of some neurological diseases including Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s disease and multiple sclerosis, the article notes. However, the high the drug creates can have a negative effect on brain cells and memory.
The study found these unwanted side effects can be suppressed by using anti-inflammatory drugs including ibuprofen or COX-2 inhibitors such as Celebrex. Taking these drugs allowed the active ingredient in marijuana, THC, to produce anti-inflammatory effects, while extinguishing the high of the drug, as well as the lethargy and negative effects on memory.
The findings appear in the journal Cell.

November 27 v 4 POWER IN THE PROVERB
Anger is cruel, and wrath is like a flood,
but jealousy is even more dangerous.
STEP : 7. Humbly asked Him to remove our shortcomings.
Wow the Proverb nails it on the head and points out three very dangerous emotions.Triggers is what I call them ,and in my early recovery these three pushed me over the edge a few times. The step must repeated upwards of a hundred times a day in early recovery.Even now thirteen years clean I still daily wrestle with the first two .The undealt with anger can lead to a violent explosion so learning to express ourselves in a humble controlled way will help us avoid relapse.Some situations we are not going to be able change that is why we have to get GOD involved ..He can change all things but we must be patient and work the steps pray and then pray some more and wait.
