TOLERANCE
S The need for increased amounts of substance
to achieve the desired effect or a diminished
effect with continued use of the same amount
S is the body's physical adaptation to a drug: greater
amounts of the drug are required over time to
achieve the initial effect as the body "gets used to"
and adapts to the intake.
ABUSE

in a manner that
deviates from
approved social
or medical
patterns
ADDICTION

abuse associated with

Prayer for the Substance Abuser
Dear Heavenly Father, we are grateful for this day. Please give us strength and
help us end the cycle of substance abuse in the world.
Please enlighten all the substance abusers who are too prideful to stop
for they know not the destruction they are causing for their families and future
generations to come.
Please bless them, open their eyes and give them the strength they need to
ask for help and receive the help they need to stop their addictions. Please help
them to know they are your children and that you love and care for each one of
them.
And please bless their loved ones who end up as the first victims of violence.
Please guide, inspire , strengthen and give more knowledge and
compassion to the organizations that are responsible for helping prevent and
rehabilitate the drug abusers.
Heavenly Father please hear our prayers.
We humbly say these things in the name of Jesus Christ our Savior. Amen
