Tempted by Prescription Drugs?

Question by korkykrayon: tempted by prescription drugs?
I’ve really been scaring myself lately. I find myself increasingly anxious and depressed, mostly at night when there is nothing to do, and it’s at this time, when I’m lying in bed or surfing the web that my mind drifts to drugs. I keep thinking about taking the prescription drugs that I know are in my house just out of curiosity. I’ve never even smoked weed so I have no history of being drug-curious, but for some reason, the allure is there. During the day, I think about what was going through my head the night before and almost laugh at the stupidity of it, but then that night, it happens all over again. Anyone heard of exhibiting the psychological signs of addiction without having taken the drug? Anyway. My main question is: what the hell is wrong with me? Why am I thinking about these drugs, and how can I stop? And I should mention that I can’t really throw the drugs out because they belong to my parents; they’d probably notice and assume I was doing them anyway. (Irony, anybody?)
“That’s the dumbest thing I’ve heard in my life.”
Big fan of that show. And thanks for the response.

Christians, How Do You Feel About Home School?

Question by stakekawa: Christians, how do you feel about home school?
If you home school your kids how do you like it? I don’t have kids yet, but my husband and I have been seriously considering the possiblity of me home schooling our children. There is just too much crap in schools nowadays…kids are becoming sexually active when they are 13 or younger…drug use is rampant…I know our society and their parents lack of guidance is to blame, but I really don’t want my kids around that. I know they will be confronted with it when they’re adults, but by then it will be up to them to make the right choices and hopefully I would have enstilled good values in them. I don’t know if I feel sound sending my children away 8 hours a day to be influenced by other people’s thoughts and opininons when they could be influenced by mine…what do you think?
