Abusing drugs doesn’t make you feel better. Mostly, they make you feel nothing, or they make you feel different enough that you can ignore your life. When you sober up, your life (now even more screwed up) is still waiting for you. Some abusers hate the way drugs make them feel. But they’d rather do that than face their lives.

The sad secret of humanity is that it needs help to face its lives in the way that God desires, which is the only way that matters in the end.
People can be very, very proud and say they do not need God in their lives, that it is just a bunch of human generated religion. Well some places that purport to be of worship DO act that way, but that doesn’t mean every approach to God must be that way.
