Thanks Tony. I definitely agree. Cigarettes and food, the computer, etc. etc. etc. once in my life, seemed to become my god. It is really sad because I believe we were created to worship God everyday, in everything we do... but that isn't being fulfilled in our lives so we try to find other things to fill that void. Unfortunately those things become what God was supposed to be. And sometimes it gives you an irrational perspective on life, and you end up in the place where my friend is.
Thanks for your prayers.
