YOU'VE GOT IT UNDER CONTROL

DO YOU? A FEW TOKES AT LUNCH TIME, MAYBE A TALL CAN OF BUD?
YOU GET IN YOUR CAR OR TRUCK; YOU GOT YOUR WIFE, MOM OR KIDS IN
THE CAR? OR YOU GO BACK TO WORK AND OPERATE A MACHINE?
YEAH, YOU MIGHT HAVE IT UNDER CONTROL TODAY; BUT WHAT ABOUT
TOMORROW OR NEXT WEEK?

YOU SEE, CONTROL IS AN ILLUSION FUELED BY YOUR APPETITE, YOUR DESIRE
TO GET HI, TO GET MELLOW, YOU KNOW, JUST TO TAKE THE EDGE OFF......
THE PROBLEM IS THAT TODAY A FEW TOKES WILL DO, ONE CAN OF BUD WILL DO;
BUT NEXT MONTH YOU WILL NEED A WHOLE JOINT AND/OR TWO CANS OF BUD
TO TAKE THE EDGE OFF.....AND GUESS WHAT? YOU'RE LOSING CONTROL.......

ONE DAY YOU'LL BE BEHIND THE WHEEL AND YOU WILL MISS SOMETHING
OR YOUR REACTION WILL BE TOO SLOW TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT OR
HITTING A KID.....

THINK ABOUT THE MONEY YOU'RE SPENDING ON GET-HI.
THAT MONEY COULD BE USED FOR A COLLEGE FUND FOR YOUR KIDS, A DOWN
PAYMENT ON A HOME OR A BETTER CAR OR AS AN EMERGENCY FUND.

WHAT ABOUT YOUR HEALTH?
DRINKING, SMOKING (POT), SNIFFING, PILL POPPING. YOUR HEART, LUNGS, LIVER,YOUR BRAIN AND MORE; ALL AFFECTED BY YOUR ABUSE OF SUBSTANCES.
IF YOU ARE TRULY IN CONTROL YOU CAN STOP NOW, TODAY....
IF YOU ARE A HEROIN USER, GET HELP NOW, BEFORE YOU TAKE THAT
"HOT SHOT"....

GETTING HI IS A DECEIT. IT PROMISES YOU HAPPINESS BUT NEVER DELIVERS.
GETTING HI ISOLATES YOU FROM SOCIETY.YOUR ONLY FRIENDS WILL BE
FELLOW DRUG USERS......AND THEY ARE NOT YOUR FRIENDS. AT BEST, THEY
ARE HANGERS ON, AS LONG AS THE GET-HI LASTS......AT WORST THEY ARE
RIVALS, COMPETITORS, ENEMIES....

HERE IS THE BOTTOM LINE, GETTING HI IS A WASTE OF TIME AND MONEY.
I CAN TESTIFY TO THAT. THE GET-HI CAN'T FILL THAT EMPTINESS INSIDE,
IN YOUR SOUL.

I FOUND JESUS AFTER DECADES OF IGNORING HIM. HIS LOVE FOR ME FILLED
THAT EMPTINESS INSIDE ME THAT NOTHING, NOBODY ELSE COULD.
BEST OF ALL, HE WAS'NT ANGRY ABOUT THE WAY I HAD LIVED MY LIFE,
HE ACCEPTED ME AS I WAS, AND NOW HE'S HELPING ME LIVE A BETTER LIFE.

I DON'T GET HI ANYMORE OR DRINK OR USE TOBACCO.
I GET HI ON JESUS NOW!!!
