I wonder if your work as a CNA was too stressful for you and making your feel burnt out. Just overall it seems you are feeling overwhelmed for some reason, and such times can be when people feel more temptation.

Doing art can be very therapeutic as I have found for myself!

Here is something to maybe help you on addictions. When Messiah healed one man He said "Go and sin no more lest a worse thing come upon you." He also said that if we go back to our sins after our spiritual house is cleansed that 7 more worse evil spirits will come in.

Now that does not mean He would have abandoned you, just that it will likely be more unpleasant and difficult to escape again.

The book Every Man's Battle has been a great help to many who want to be freed from inappropriate content and is written from a Christian perspective.

I know one person who got over smoking with a nicotine patch and prayer. Another person I know got over smoking through "vapping" and can't even stand cigarette smoke anymore.

I pray you will be permanently freed from your addictions and that whatever burdens you have, that seem to be weighing you down, will be given to the Lord for HIM to carry. "My burden is easy and My yoke is light."

Thank you my brothers and sisters for your prayers, I've been doing real well. Everyday has gotten a lot easier and I've refrained from engaging in either and continue drawing closer to the Lord through prayer and engaging in drawing or exercising to help relieve my stress.
