Fed Up. Screwed up! Confused!

[ladyjazz]

I think addiction is spiritual. I think its demonic. I called my insurance today, which i thank God i have some, but no Christian counselors! I have an app next week. I pray before i do anything now, so i do have a therapist that deals w my problems. But if she aint Biblical i dont feel comfortable.

I have to get clean! I dont have a car to get to places easily. I live in drug city. I got two Christian s saying " cast em out" ....which i swear i felt something! I got other Christian s saying fight the urges, get counseling
Aa, Cr...etc.

I know i need counsel. But you cant counsel out demons! What is addiction? Flesh, eemotional pain, spirits?

I went on YouTube and watched deliverance vids and i felt stuff! Nausea chills, things moving about.

Suboxone is supposed to b worse than my opiate problem. Im in paws. And im prayed out! Im tired, i wrecked my body and mind. I sinned!

Advice anyone?

Do you have any STRONG Christians to talk with?

 

[SpankyW2]

Yes I do some of my church members, I also need to find a christian based program here in Philadelphia.

Well spanky, i hope you are better today. I walk around in condemnation too! But i take it one day at a time and plan a fast for help. God is married to the backslider. Fasts have done amazing things for me, miracles! I am very fearful of God, but a strong Christian lady said, " you think Gods gonna punish someone so broken like you?" Thats food for thot! I know w the bipolar that i dont think or act normal. Nor do you. I cannot see God not taking that into our behavior. The body needs to address mental illness. Its the last stigma. Ppl don't want to discuss it. I KNOW ITS NOT EASY! We read the Word and get scared! Its supposed to be a calming book, but i get scared! Do you get scared of some passages? Ptaying!!

 

[SpankyW2]

This is scary because it will make you think that it is hard to overcome. And when you let the demons back in Jesus said that many more will come and that is so true' so your fight gets harder. But god is greater.
2 Peter 2:20 For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning.

Yep, but we must persevere! He is merciful!

I've been sober six years and change. I can only tell you what's worked for me.

I was thrown into drug court, kids taken away, I fought the whole system initially, but then I "faked it till I maked it".

Got a sponsor, honestly worked the steps, and those steps got me to face what was really bothering me, which was my relationship with my Mother. She just passed away less than two weeks ago, and we had an awesome relationship for years before she died.

I'm praying for you folks and for anyone else with problems. And let's face it, everybody's got problems! But, we're all masterpieces in the eyes of God!

That is so encouraging and i am happy for you! Im utilizing everything available but im really such a chick of faith! I rely so much on God, but youve shown me the other side. The work i must do, thx for prayers! Yes we all struggle! All struggle!

God Bless Ya.

I can feel your pain in your posts, I along with others will be praying for you, its a start. have you thought about teen challenge? I have been clean for 31/2 years and it all started there. I never struggled with opiates, my dad has so I kinda know what your up against. I cant speak enough about fasting, group fasting and steady petition before God. the life recovery bible helped me and is amazing. stand on Gods word, it says his word will never return void continue to press into his presence and hold fast to his promise in rev 3:20

Ty andrew. Teen challenge will not allow pysch meds. Im happy for you! I just wish my new counselor was Christian. Or hope she uunderstands how important my faith is. Im on suboxone rite now, but longterm use is very bad! Worse than the drug i was on. Oh we can b so foolish! God had a different plan for me. I must trust His mercy, ty for your help!!!!
