A really good book on getting free from addition:
Freedom from Addiction

Trust the Great Physician by putting yourself into His hands and heeding His instructions.
Luke 5:31-32 "And Jesus answering said unto them, They that are whole need not a physician; but they that are sick. I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance."

You will find it is very similar to his foundation book "The Bondage Breaker" in which he gives a set of principles to assist any person to break any bondage they have, whether it be addiction, or spiritual.

Hello J Daniel
You are certainly not a 'bad' person. You are a human being just like the rest of us, and we have all done things we have regretted.

Addiction is an illness, but the good news is that the right help and support, people can recover from it.

The first step is to acknowledge that you have a problem and to seek help. By sharing with us on this forum, you have made the first and most important step on the road to recovery from addiction. The next step is to seek help from your doctor, be totally honest about how your addiction is affecting you, so he or she can refer you to the appropriate services for support.

You are not alone. I know hundreds of people who have recovered and are living happy and successful lives free from addiction. The same can happen for you.

People on this forum will be praying for you because they believe God cares deeply about you, that He is able to help you and that He wants you to get well.

With every blessing.

You know what i found really helpful stopping addictive behaviour? It was beginning to serve the Lord during those time i was in the grip of addiction.

So rather than let satan divide me right and wrong and accuse me with wrong. i began to rely on Christ's grace to set me free in His loving truth. i found that as i began to love Jesus for His grace over me an addictive person i gained the ability to break with addictive behaviour freely over time.

It has amazed me how Jesus has gone to work on me cleaning my heart from satan's strongholds and i have a lot of thankfulness dwelling in me Him setting me free.

Praying you will place yourself under His grace, addiction and all, and let his gracious loving truth rescue you from the snares of satan and set you free to give glory to God with your flesh.

Peace.

Ezra 9:9
Though we are slaves, our God has not forsaken us in our bondage. He has shown us kindness in the sight of the kings of Persia: He has granted us new life to rebuild the house of our God and repair its ruins, and he has given us a wall of protection in Judah and Jerusalem.

Prayers for you. And welcome to CF.

By the way, don't be discouraged if you get replies only that people are praying for you. That's the purpose here, and I think the rules for this area are actually against giving advice and such. But we have areas for advice, and addiction recovery, and other kinds of helping subforums.

Forums (Various kinds of recovery/support subforum)

God be with you.
