Bible Answer: Yes, take it to the Lord, AND to an addiction specialist. Nicotine is the most addictive substance known. It will take more than your will power for you to break its grip on you. In addition to spiritual healing, addicts almost always need education on the mental aspects of addiction as well as the physical. Also, if your doctor says its ok, start exercising vigorously for at least 30 minutes at least 3 times per week. Your victory over this addiction will be a glorious testimony to others. |
