Apostle said: Id like to add that my misery is my own fault and i consistantly ignore my subconscious and the holy spirit within me that always tries to push me in the right direction.
Im clean off of heroin for almost a week tho and have quit cigs and am starting to read the Bible again.
My friend went back to his church and saw his pastor or counsellor or whatever that he grew up with and started reading the bible again when he realized he wanted to quit and he's been off H for like 5 months now with only 1 or 2 slip ups total.
I'm not religious, but I do believe that if you feel you need God's help in quitting, you should ask for it and do what you need to. My friend says he can't remember feeling as good as he does now in a long time and I'm really happy for him. I'm sure your church has someone who's been through it all and come out the other side that you could talk to.

Moonshoe said: You really cant even remotely reduce the old testament to simply the back story of Jesus.
That is exactly the kind of misconception that is common among people who haven't actually read the bible.
Its true that Christians tried to draw support for the idea of Jesus as the Messiah by reference to certain prophecies from the old testament, but the Old Testament is much more the history and laws of the Hebrew/Israelite people, along with a creation story and wisdom teachings.
It simply cant be reduced to the backstory of Jesus.
Keep in mind that the "Old Testament" is the same thing as the Jewish Torah. Jews don't believe in Jesus as the messiah, but do hold the old testament sacred.
Clearly then, its not all about Jesus.
I was raised a Catholic have read the bible and stand by my summation.

For example, the books of Proverbs, Psalms and Ecclesiastes just cant be described as being even loosely about Jesus' back story.
Those books are books of teachings/advice/wisdom, that don't refer to Jesus but offer insight and instruction to the reader.

Religion really does help a certain percentage of people in breaking free of their addictions.
Its also interesting that statistically speaking people who attend church regularly live an average of seven years longer than people who do not.
This suggests that there is some mental/physical health benefit from organized religious participation.

Live Long and Prosper: Going to Church Increases Lifespan
"Here’s what the researchers found: compared to those who never attend religious services, people who attend church, temple, or synagogue more than once a week, have the equivalent of a 7.5-year-longer life expectancy! Those who do not attend religious services have a 1.87 times higher risk of death for most causes within eight years.
Even after controlling for various factors, such as demographics, health status, socioeconomic status, and social ties, the researchers still found a strong (1.5x) and significant (p<0.01) positive impact attending religious services had on the life expectancy of attendees."

He might actually have a point, the brain is very powerful, if i can find it later I'll post it but for example i remember reading a study years back that showed some people who knew they were being prayed for compared to a group who didnt while sick started showing slight improvement because they truly believed prayer helped because the brain/mind can be that powerful
Granted that the same study IIRC showed that people who were being prayed for and didnt know it stayed the same, its basically a type of placebo effect, if you think it works in some cases it can, so regardless of the religions validity it appears that it can still be beneficial to people if they truly believe it can be
Obviously a much larger study would have to be done to be conclusive because i believe it was a small study but considering the placebo effect is very real if people believe what theyre taking works, then i could see religion or any strong belief being beneficial to people in various ways because of a similar effect IMO

There is a book called "The Power of Belief" that covers this phenomena pretty well. Including studies and what not. I still have hope at living an athletic life despite a life of smoking and drugging. I BELIEVE in the bodies ability to heal and in making anything possible through God and as a result i seem to bounce back quite well from some heavy drug use.
As i mentioned before i've also prayed away some pretty bad pain before and i'm not one to argue with results.

It's a slow progress marred by frequent relapsing but there IS progress.
In the past i was defeated mentally and emotionally, just waiting to be taken by disease and even facilitating the process of acquiring one.
Now i've become more forgiving of myself and try to look at my inner turmoil(the addict mind) as an illness and not a moral failing.
Appreciate the kind words.

Apostle said: My favorite parts arent even the story but all the good wisdom and solid advice on how to be a good wholesome and God fearing man.
Its not easy being a Christiam. Its even harder being a Christian and a degenerate.
People can say what they will about the Bible. If you live as Jesus instructs you simply become a happier and better person.
I live in sin and i am miserable. I honestly believe that we are divine in nature and Christianity asks us to live up to that. Is it just coincidince that the most hedonistic people are the highest risk group for aids? Possibly. Everyone i know who has mocked Jesus our God is now in a very dark place. I on the other hand, while i struggle with my faith, am still in good health and std free.
I have prayed away intense withdrawls and some intense pain as well. Ive seen the word bring family back from alcoholism and more. Its just too much dor me to not believe.
That's one fucked up high horse your trying to be on. The aids crisis was perpetuated by reagan and christians using some of their favorite tools, denial of reality and science.
Im going to laugh at you if you end up with hiv from banging dope. Maybe then you might actually learn something about hiv.

I mean i've detoxed buttnaked in a very cold "suicide watch" cell for several days after getting beaten up by cops. With nothing to cover myself and a flat metal bunk(no mattress) to sleep on.
And it was a very spiritual experience that i wouldn't take back.
Of course there are different degrees of suffering but in any case, i believe the line is meant specifically for those who suffer for following their faith.
which wasn't the case for me, i deserved it all, but it was a spiritual experience nonetheless.
