What a great photo. Is that your girlfriend? I am not too old to reacall similar struggles, and I watch my kids dealing with some of the same issues as you describe. I commend your honesty about the weed, and your desire to quit. I understand firsthand how easy it is to get caught up smoking, especially if you are upset & angry...it does calm you. Unfortunately, it doesn't make the problems go away, and it is a depressant, so you can end up feeling more depressed, less motivated, and we all know someone who's become a total "burnout" huh? I hear your desires for a better life than that, and you have taken a courageous step by asking for prayers and help. Please don't stop there. A counselor can help you figure out the sources of your anger and help you find healthier ways of coping. Of course, when we are miserable, relationships suffer also, and then we feel even more isolated and alone...more depressed. We want to feel better, so we turn to whatever can relieve that feeling...a bottle, a blunt, food, sex, or any number of "quick-fixes" . In reality, those things don't fix anything, and cause us even more grief (mine was a jail sentence, felony conviction, losing my job, my kids, my Nursing License!) I don't want you to "crash & burn" my friend. I was stuck in a really self-destructive cycle and I didn't even know it. Getting arrested, and what followed...that was my wake-up call! I really wanted to die, because I felt like such a "TOTAL LOSER" but, God had other plans for me. What I thought was the worst thing that could ever happen to me, ended up to be the best, because it turned my life around! I have not been a believer all my life, and I have struggled with doubts about God. Now I know that God has done things for me which I could NOT have done for myself! God's grace is bigger than our worst mistakes, my friend, and He never gives up on us...even when we give up on ourselves. I pray that God will guide you to the next right step in your path... I pray that He changes you in such a way that your life will be a testimony to others of His awesome power. God led...no, more like drug me kicking and screaming...to a 12 Step Meeting 4 years ago...that has made a tremendous difference in my life. Look online for Marijuana Anonymous to check it out. You are on my heart. Oh yeah...leave the girlfriend thing to God, He's got your back!!

I will pray for you. Ask for God's help to control your life in whatver things that you do. God is always around us and God want us to communicate with him all the time. Keep your faith and put all your trust to the Lord. God is wonderful!

Dear lord please pray that he is able to find what he needs for salvation. pleaes pray for him and help him through his tough time. Please bless him and everyone he encompasses Amen
