November 2 Chp 91 v 6 TWELVE STEPPING WITH STRENGTH FROM THE PSALMS

Do not dread the disease that stalks in darkness ,nor the disaster that strikes at midday. 

STEP 11 - Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God as we understood God, praying only for knowledge of God's will for us and the power to carry that out.

Like a shark lurking in the darkness is what my addiction was. I can never forget who I am in God and the dark waters he pulled me out of. There are days when my heart is wounded and it bleeds ,that blood causes the sharks to swarm . If I am not careful I would be devoured by a disaster that strikes at midday . That injury received is not worth jumping back into the dark waters and swimming with sharks. I can gracefully walk along the shores confident and unafraid of the those sharks stalking in the darkness as long as I keep my eyes on Him and not them.

Matthew 14 And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me come unto thee on the water. (v. 28)

And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus. (v. 29)

But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me. (v. 30)

And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt?(v. 31)

DEA Proposes to Remove Opiate-Based Medication Naloxegol from Drug Schedule

/BY JOIN TOGETHER STAFF

October 29th, 2014/

The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) is proposing to remove the opiate-based medication naloxegol from the federal drug schedule, according to The Hill. The drug is currently considered a Schedule II drug under the Controlled Substances Act because it can be derived from opium alkaloids.

Other Schedule II drugs include heroin, methamphetamine, Adderall and Ritalin.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved naloxegol (Movantik) this fall for treatment of opioid-induced constipation in adults with chronic non-cancer pain. AstraZeneca, which makes naloxegol, submitted a petition seeking the drug’s removal from the drug schedule. The company stated the drug is not prone to abuse. In its proposal, the DEA agreed.

Anyone caught illegally dealing or possessing drugs on the drug schedule faces criminal penalties. Doctors are restricted in the way they can administer the drugs.

Earlier this year, the DEA announced it will reclassify hydrocodone combination productssuch as Vicodin, in an effort to reduce prescription drug abuse. Under the new rules, patients will be able to receive the drugs for only up to 90 days without receiving a new prescription. In October 2013, the FDA recommended tighter restrictions for hydrocodone combination products.

Under the new rule, hydrocodone combination products will be classified as Schedule II drugs. Currently these products are Schedule III drugs, meaning they can be refilled up to five times, and prescriptions can cover a 180-day period. In most cases, patients who wish to refill their hydrocodone combination prescription will now have to give their pharmacy a prescription from a healthcare provider, instead of having it phoned or faxed in.
