Taken enough rest instead of taken enough drugs.

I lost my God father several years ago because he had a health condition that made him take drugs almost all his life before he passed away.

This is a health challenge that everyone in their family suffered. But he decided to treat his own and when he found a drug that seems as if it was keeping the sickness under control, he just adopted it as his drugs and kept taking it on daily basis. His body system became adopted to the drugs that he can't stay without taken them. This also has its consequences. It later damaged his kidneys and he treated it for years which took almost all his savings and when the problem got to the level that he can't treat anyone, he was advised to gather money and head to India with a donor. Lucky for him he took his sister and wife to India. His sister was supposed to donate her kidney while his wife was to stay with them all through and take proper care of them. But the whole situation changed when they discovered that his sister can't donate hers. His wife was the one that donated at last.

The reason why I brought up this story is because he was not supposed to have that kidney failure at first, but because of the drugs he took for a very long time became a threat to his body and at last after the transplant, he died after a year and today his wife is still alive with just one kidney and all glory to God because she has been doing just fine.

Week 197 episode 1 talks about When tolerance becomes a threat. What's my take?

We have been told that if we are wise enough we don't have to make our mistakes to learn. We can actually learn from the mistakes of alot of people around us and that is exactly what I am doing here. I don't want to become victims of same thing that have dealt with others even to the point of death.

I am the type of person that my body don't want to undergo stress. Once there is a little strees, I will be in pains until I take pain killer drugs before I will get myself again. And considering what I have seen people go through I really don't think that I want to be taken drugs everyday of my life. Even with the strees most times I still look for another way of taken away the strees from my body.

DO THE NEEDFUL
This I consider as the needful because I don't always want to be on drugs all the time. Having enough rest has been my own way of taken medicine. I actually used it to replace drugs so that I won't be a victim. Whenever I noticed that my body is beginning to react to much stress, I start to slow down a little and take enough rest. I am also the type that don't sleep in the afternoon, but I just force myself to do so and it has really been very helpful since I started. So instead of taken drugs I take enough rest. But when I notice that is persisting I take my drugs again. Once I get stronger I do away with the drugs.
