We are pretty interesting that way. If we think something is horrible, it is. If we think it's not so bad, it isn't...
Expectation is a funny thing.
If you expect your wife or someone to be a certain way, and they aren't, we judge them, or get upset. If on the other hand we have no expectation, but only grattitude, then everything is good.
My failed marriages taught me how every relationship should only be viewed with grattitude. That other person is a person with needs and feelings just like us. They do not owe us to act a certain way, except to be themselves, and hopefully act out of a loving relationship.
I was SO afraid of addictions, and then God stepped in. He'd have me do the thing I was afraid of, and long enough to 'get addicted', and then he'd just take it out of my life and show me that not only was it 'nothing', it was a fun thing to experience.
But let me tell you, the fear of it being addicted, and being overly sensitive to any symptoms, yikes. That's scary.
Now I don't understand addictions either, but then I've never done oxy, or something that is that powerful. I know it makes you deathly ill, and that part would probably not be fun.
On the other hand, like Paul shaking off the snake, I believe if God is in a thing there isn't anything negative that can happen to you.
Fortunately God's never told me to do oxy or anything really hard like that.

At the dosage he's doing the withdrawal would be relatively easy physically,,,He probably would have a harder time mentally,,,I don't understand people getting addicted to it,,,I tried it years ago and its some weak stuff with practically no high to it at all,,,Oxy's are really tough to come off of,,,The withdrawal is in the same league with Heroin and Methodone withdrawal,,,Is what he doing normal behavior???What's normal???Is it healthy behavior, No,,,VDC
