I have been saved by Jesus for a few months now, but I am having real trouble with an addiction to marijuana. I used to smoke for my anxiety/panic attacks. However it got out of control when I started using it to cure boredom and to allow me to 'relax', because I can talk myself into needing to 'relax' in basically any situation. I just need to let go and let God. It's hard though. I still do have anxiety from time to time, but God has delivered me from much of that... but I really want to be able to control my life again and stop indulging in this fruitless activity so I can get closer to God. I need major discipline, but I have none and I don't know how to start! My entire life I've been able to do whatever I wanted with no boundaries or restrictions and I'm certainly paying for it now as an adult having to make adult decisions. I just ask that you pray for me so that I may break free with the Lord's perfect strength and stop relying on earthly substitutes for the Real Thing! God bless u all <3
I personally see no issue with your marijuana use. But just like any other activity, if you let it control your life or get between you and God it will have it's consequences. But the same can be said about TV, friends, activities, ect. Be responsible, use responsibly, and it shouldn't be an issue for you. Take care of business first, then smoke later. I highly recommend checking out the link in my signature that leads to a website called "Christians for cannabis", there's a lot of good information to be found there. Most of the christian establishment is very ... government brainwashed? They seem to think that because the government wills it, so does God. Even so especially if your using it as a medicine, i think your under the wrong impression if you think that because Christian establishments oppose marijuana that God does.
I admire your wanting to lean on God and nothing else to get you through life, but that doesn't mean that you have to give up all the things you enjoy. With the mentality you have now, it also seems like you would have to give up music, tv, games, any social contact outside of church, ect.
