I wanted to share my praise after reading the testimony about other women getting off of meds. Except, mine was what they call "self medication" I chose to drink alcohol on days when I felt sad or when I was happy after work and wanted to feel a bit better to celebrate. Now, this is a trap that the devil has set up and how quickly I forget. I haven't been drinking to the point of drunkenness or even being tipsy, but I have felt that still small voice tell me that I don't need to drink. That He is all I need! I also started vaping nicotine when my husband and I split up about six or seven months ago and that was such a hard thing to let go of! I tried quitting several times and then finally I decided it was time to fast, and I did, and I can say that God broke it off of me. So no more turning to nicotine or alcohol anymore!! Praise the Lord he loves me and he helps me!

Thank you Rasa, it is so easy to fall into a pit where we want to use something to help us cope or feel better, whether is prescribed medication or “self-medication”
I was prescribed anti-depressants after my mother passed away, but after two weeks I knew it was not the path I wanted to take so I threw it away (that was before I found my Heavenly Husband, but He was already working in my heart).

Thank you for sharing precious Rasa, I too used the world’s way to drown all my hurt which of course just made it worse. And I am so grateful that our Darling Lord help you to stop using nicotine or alcohol, because He is really all we need and it is only Him that can fill us with peace and joy that surpasses all understanding.
