Hey Steemit, I'm Bill from Michigan
I enjoy collecting antiques and selling antiques at auctions. I go to lots of rummage sales and thrift shops and find items I can make a lot of money off of. I enjoy riding my motorcycle and going on vacations. I lost my sister to addiction and now I'm a studying to be a counselor to help addicts. I plan on showing them positive things they can do instead of using. I am glad to meet you all and I hope to find new friends here. God bless you, Steemit.
Hi Bill, nice to meet you. Sorry for your loss . Harmful addictions are symptoms of a broken society and culture. How we as species came to this point is another long and complicated story. I learned one thing over the years and that is our mind is like a container that can hold so much thoughts, and it wont distinguish between harmful or helpful thoughts, just like blockchain does not judge the data but it acts on it. The reason I tell you this is that if you would like to help people stay away from drugs divert their attention to helpful thoughts that they can enjoy. Do not talk to them about drugs ever, talk to them about fishing bass or planting vegetables or raising chickens or computers and technology, etc. Take care
Wow. That's one important life mission.
Welcome aboard, Bill. Very sorry for your loss. The steemit community is growing and I hope it can provide you with distraction, some extra money, and perhaps some solace along the way.
James.
glad to meet you
I am ready to become your friend ^^
