Dealing with Addictions

ADDICTIONS

Alcohol, drugs, cigarettes, pornography, masturbation etc.
These things become addictions and bad habits to most of us and seem impossible to shake. Now the best way to be free from addiction is not to start. They may have some appeal and friends may tell you it’s great but they are like biting into a nice looking shiny piece of fruit that is rotten inside.
Maybe you have taken that bite. If you have an addiction that is controlling, you might feel too weak to quit. But Jesus is stronger than you and your addiction put together, just let go and let him.
The fact is this: an addiction starts off slow in the beginning and is usually hidden so you can’t work on it and the truth is that they all thrive in that dark. If somehow they can be exposed, the healing process can begin.
You may not know how to do it but Jesus does and is ready to help you. You just have to let him do so.
