Prayers for my brother...

Hi my friends,

My brother was deported to Iraq yesterday, Sept. 11th on his birthday...

Like me, we are addicted to mind altering substances. I am concerned that the stress of being there will effect him in a adverse way...

I know I can't change anything but it doesn't make it easier to accept...

Please think of my brother and all those that are over there...

Thank you...

I'm sure you meant "deployed", and not "deported"...right, Missy? I gather he's in the military...which isn't without stress during these troubled times, addicted or not.

Sadly, too many young people enlist during peacetime without considering the consequences of being "called into action". Sadly, too, many of them (if not addicted before) return from duty with an addiction.

My thoughts and prayers are constantly with all those serving our country. Both of my sons were in the military, as was my husband and five of my uncles, so I am familiar with that feeling of emptiness and frustration.
