Tempted

[oneofthem]

Hello.

I've been feeling tempted on and off for about a week. My husband struggles with an addiction, and he had a slip on Sunday that was quite bad, and it's really impacting on me emotionally. I just keep trying to ride the feeling out until i get distracted again.

I don't want to be a victim of this for the rest of my life. I want God's best and i want to strive for new and better levels of healing.

I'm glad you have that motivation, that's great. There's probably a list of distractions around here, i find that it really helps me to keep busy when i feel triggered.
Are you getting any help for your self injury? I recommend you do, because it's so hard to beat on your own and with therapy you can really tackle the root of the problem. I think, anyway.
Can you call someone to sit with you, or go out somewhere you like and feel safe with a friend? A park, a cinema, whatever.

Have you had the minister anoint you with oil (James 5.15) ; or had people pray over you ( don't have to know the specifics...agree with me, that this oppression is gone)

Is there some one you can call who will go for a walk, keep you company, listen?

I'm sorry you're struggling. I'm sort of in the same boat...my husband also struggles with an addiction and has recently fallen a few times. I know I can't possibly feel the same as you, but I think I have an idea where you're coming from. If you ever want to talk, feel free to PM me. I'll be praying for you.

I'm really sorry that this is all happening. Things will get better, I promise. Just hang in there, and be strong.
