Prayer should always be our first hope.

I will definitely be praying for you. When you say that you abuse pills, I am assuming pain pills. I know many people that have fallen into that, people that are very near and dear to me.

One of my family members and her husband were severly addicted to them, in fact they were so addicted they were crushing the pills and snorting them. She told me if she didn't take them everyday that she would get sick. They got ahold of this doctor that gave them a new pill called Suboxone (buprenorphine) and she said it was a miracle. It completely took away all her withdrawal symptoms and she was off painpills in a week. She did not get high off of Suboxone nor become addicted. They have been clean for a very long time now...

Here is a website that talks about this medication http://ezinearticles.com/?Pain-Kille...Off&id=2750241
I really suggest that you look into it.

Re: i think prayer is my last hope.

Wow... just saw that you are from Kentucky. I live in Louisville, so if you are interested in the Suboxone I will find out the name of my family member's doctor and pass it on to you.

Re: i think prayer is my last hope.

I think my situation is very much like yours. It helps me when I simply talk to God. You know, just talk. I tell Him how I feel and I get a lot of answers. I believe He is helping me to understand why I am this way. I go back and forth in between giving up and holding on, but I have hope in Jesus.

As I would pray for peace for myself, I pray it for you. ...That whatever is plaguing you would dissolve under the very gaze of God's eyes. I pray you find total joy in Jesus and that your heart sheds every nuance of depression. IN JESUS' NAME!
