Addiction is like a very deep, big hole. You only need one step to fall into the hole. As the time goes by, you'll fall deeper and deeper and get more difficult to help. But there's nothing impossible. Even when you're in the bottom of the hole, you will realize that there is someone reaching out a rope since you started falling down. That person is willing to help you and save you eventhough you don't want to be saved. That person is waiting for you to come back to the surface; and that person is God and the rope is Jesus. Even when others don't know and realize that you are falling deeper, God is waiting for you to come back to His arms through Jesus who sacrifices Himself on the cross. You can always choose. You can trust God that He is able to help you and then you hold on a tight grip to the rope, or you can refuse the help you've been offered since the beginning and stay on the bottom of the hole. Eventhough the process of going out of the hole is not as easy as getting inside the hole, but you will have an encourager called Holy Spirit that will always encourage you. With God's grace, we can go back to the surface, and you will realize that you've already made a very important decision in your life. A decision which you'll never regret.
