Bible Question: How does God help us through hard times like when were faced with issues such as drugs? How can he help someone break an addiction? |
Bible Answer: Along with the good advice you've rec'd, I would offer this: Since this addiction didn't happen overnite, it will probably take quite a while to get completely away from it. Don't be disappointed, just settle for going slow and make steady progress. However, I understand there are groups of people who are genuinely dedicated to assisting those with this problem. They probably even use a similar system of steps to get a person out of this addiction, like Alcholoics Anonymous. Check your phone book for groups for some kind of thereapy sessions. Remember with God on your/our side, who can possibly oppose you/us. We'll all be praying for you and God bless. --Rowdy |
