December 10 v 24 POWER IN THE PROVERB
 

What the wicked dread will overtake them;
what the righteous desire will be granted.
STEP 2:Came to believe that God, a Power greater than ourselves,
could restore us to sanity and stability.

The Proverb makes it simple and clear !A relationship with GOD is a two way street .He wants us to change our wicked ways and in return our desire for sobriety will be granted.Start small instead of stealing to feed your addiction try earning your money.Show him your sincere in your relationship. Somewhere deep down inside of me was a tiny desire too stop living the way I was living .That tiny desire was a seed of faith we have inside all of us. I started with telling the truth The Proverb brings it home for me ,there are a lot of brothers and sisters of mine who have been consumed by the wickedness of addiction , too many. Realizing you cant do it on your own is not weakness it is STRENGTH and COURAGE . Please make it to step 2 and put an end to the wickedness. Change your behavior show GOD your willing to put and end too the wickedness and your desire for sobriety will be granted.

New Silk Road Operator: Illegal Drug Website Has Backup Locations Worldwide
 

By Join Together Staff | December 9, 2013 | Leave a comment | Filed in Drugs & Marketing And Media

The operator of the new Silk Road website, which sells illegal drugs, says he has distributed encrypted portions of the site’s source code to 500 locations in 17 countries. He claims this will allow the site to be relaunched immediately if law enforcement shuts it down again.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation shut down Silk Road in October, and arrested the operator in San Francisco on narcotics and money-laundering charges. Silk Road could only be accessed by using encryption software called Tor, which shields computers’ IP addresses, allowing people to make purchases anonymously. Silk Road facilitated more than $30 million in sales annually. It had been online since February 2011.

In November, a new online marketplace that sells illegal drugs opened. It also calls itself Silk Road. The new website looks the same as the shuttered Silk Road. It lists hundreds of ads for drugs including marijuana, cocaine and Ecstasy, and uses bitcoins, the anonymous digital currency used by the old site.

The new site says it includes measures to keep users from losing bitcoins if the site shuts down. Like the old site, the new Silk Road can only be accessed by using Tor encryption software.

Last week, the new Silk Road operator said the new backup scheme also includes distributing portions of the site’s cryptographic keys, to decrypt pieces of the site’s source code, to locations around the globe. According to Forbes, “the backup system may be a first step towards a decentralized system without a single point of failure for law enforcement to attack.”

Senators Tell FDA They Disagree with Decision to Approve Pure Hydrocodone Drug
 
By Join Together Staff | December 9, 2013 | 2 Comments | Filed in Government & Prescription Drugs

Four U.S. senators told the Commissioner of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) they disagree with the agency’s decision to approve a pure version of the painkiller hydrocodone, Newsday reports.

Senators Kirsten Gillibrand of New York, Dianne Feinstein of California, Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota and Joe Manchin of West Virginia, wrote to FDA Commissioner Margaret Hamburg that the decision “will only contribute to the rising toll of addiction and death” caused by the prescription drug epidemic.

In October, the FDA approved the first pure hydrocodone drug in the United States. The drug, Zohydro ER (extended release), was approved for patients with pain that requires daily, around-the-clock, long-term treatment that cannot be treated with other drugs. Drugs such as Vicodin contain a combination of hydrocodone and other painkillers such as acetaminophen.

In December, a panel of experts assembled by the FDA voted against recommending approval of Zohydro ER. The panel cited concerns over the potential for addiction. In the 11-2 vote against approval, the panel said that while the drug’s maker, Zogenix, had met narrow targets for safety and efficacy, the painkiller could be used by people addicted to other opioids, including oxycodone.

The agency will require postmarketing studies of Zohydro ER to evaluate the known serious risks of misuse, abuse, increased sensitivity to pain, addiction, overdose, and death associated with long-term use beyond 12 weeks.

Zohydro is designed to be released over time, and can be crushed and snorted by people seeking a strong, quick high. The opioid drug OxyContin has been reformulated to make it harder to crush or dissolve, but Zohydro does not include similar tamper-resistant features, the newspaper notes. The senators said it was irresponsible of the FDA to approve Zohydro without similar safeguards.

In an email to the newspaper, FDA spokesman Morgan Liscinsky said “abuse-deterrent formulations” are not available for some extended-release painkillers.

Leave your simple ways behind, and begin to live ; learn to use good judgment.
STEP 3 : We made a decision to turn our wills and our lives over to the care of God.
How long is gona take to realize life was not meant to be lived this way.Looking back I was a rebel without a clue wreckless and senseless.Hopefully those of you who are still struggling listen to the Proverb and take that step before its too late.There are way too many who leave this world way too soon.

December 7 v 2 v 3 POWER IN THE PROVERB

Obey my commands and live!

Guard my instructions as you guard your own eyes.[a]

Tie them on your fingers as a reminder.

Write them deep within your heart.

STEP 11 :Sought through prayer and meditation on God's word to increase our Fellowship with Him, praying continually for the knowledge of His will for us and the power of His might to 

accomplish it.

Living sober and sane is His will for us.We were created with the ability to choose.What GOD seeks is a personal relationship with us HIS children.My choices kept me far from HIM because my choices were wrong and sinful. Some people rebel against their heavenly father like they do with their earthly father.That does not make us bad kids , it makes us human .GOD wants a real relationship with us and step eleven helps us develop that. GOD has dreams for your future and wants you to reach your maximum potential. That's why the Proverb is so important .GOD is not telling you what to do ,but showing what to do in order to reach your maximum potential. Next time you walk pass a cemetery take a moment to think that each one of those stones is a story . How many never made it to step eleven and are forever separated from HIM. GOD loves us so much not only did HE give us HIS only SON to die for us ,HE wrote us a one thousand page plus instruction manual ,now that's love.
