And, having grown closer to God, I feel I should be able to leave these drugs behind; but I tried at the beginning of this year and it only led to anxiety and panic.<BR/><BR/>In all, I feel that to be closer to God, I need to get off the drugs. Could you address this on one of your upcoming postings or contact me at Emiltx56@yahoo.com? I'm very glad to have found you. I feel God might have brought me here.Emilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17363622465643669401noreply@blogger.com
