December 6 v 23 POWER IN THE PROVERB

For the commandment is a lamp,

And the law a light;

Reproofs of instruction are the way of life

STEP 6 . We are entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character.

Well are you ! Some say they are but as soon as you start to talk about stuff they need to change the wall goes up. The Proverb is right on reproofs are a way of life . My philosophy has always been Instigate , agitate , educate and liberate. If you are ready this step could sting but it will bring Liberty. Use GODS word (Bible) as a lamp to lead you out of the darkness of addiction. God will reshape your life if you will let HIM.

Slightly less than 1 percent of anesthesiology residents in the United States have a substance use disorder, according to a new study. The incidence of substance use has been increasing, and relapse rates are not improving, the researchers said.

The study followed 45,000 anesthesiology residents who began their training between 1975 and 2009, HealthDay reports. They found the overall rate of substance abuse was 0.86 percent. Rates were higher at the beginning of the study, and decreased between 1996 and 2002. They began rising again in 2003.

Twenty-eight anesthesiology residents died due to substance abuse during the study period. Among others who abused substances, 43 percent had at least one relapse over the following 30 years, and 11 percent died from a substance use disorder. The most commonly abused substances were intravenous opioids, alcohol, marijuana, cocaine and anesthetics/hypnotics.

The findings are published in the Journal of the American Medical Association.
