Advice

Advice from those with experience 

Here is some advice from my own experiences and the experiences of a few other people.
---Do not question God's will. Just accept it and live with it.
---Be careful who you associate with.
--If you give someone a ride and they have a controlled substance in their possession, you will be arrested along with them, simply because they are in your vehicle.
--If you get a ride from someone who has a controlled substance in their possession, you will be arrested right along with them, because you were in their vehicle and are associated with them.
----It doesn't matter that the controlled subtance is not on your physical person. You are guilty by association.----
 
--Don't even have a controlled substance in your system if you have your children with you--YOU WILL LOSE THEM!! It is considered Child Abuse and Neglect. I have seen so many parents  who are fighting to get their children back. Another reason to not even take the chance...another reason to stay clean.
 
--If you are using, remember that no one is your friend. Trust me they will stab you in the back to save their own hides in the end.
---Speaking from experience and observation, I can say that recovery and disassociation from those who are still using is your safest bet. Change your playground and your playmates. Put God, yourself,and your family first.
---If you are doing UA's and it comes up hot, don't blame it on cold medicine. Anyone with a brain knows that pseudophedrine will not cause a UA to come up hot. I take OTC cold meds and have NEVER had a hot UA. Pseudophedrine alone is not enough to produce a hot UA. Simply take responsibility for your actions. Don't pass the buck.
I hope these tips help someone in need. Some of us had to learn the hard way.
 
God can make the changes necessary for you to have a free life in Christ Jesus.
May God bless you on your road to recovery.
