Ive been a christian for over 10 years but I've neglected my walk with God a lot. I'm trying to recover from a drug addiction but have no support. Any prayers or advice would be awesome!
I had an addiction to cigarettes when, in my world, it was a terrible thing. In those days, cigarette addiction was looked at as a way to rebel against the Lord. I had three children and I taught Sunday School--teaching my class of preteens as I reeked of that awful smell.
I went to the Lord every night, telling him I was done with them. Every morning I had a cigarette. If I was out, I was frantic, even walking a mile in subzero temperature to get some.
One day my dear friend stood with her hands on her hips, glaring at me, telling me she wasn't going to have me stinking up houses with those things any more, she would take it to her prayer group, I was done with them.
Within weeks I got so upset over something that was happening in my life that I stayed up all night with cigarettes and coffee, one after the other. By morning I had nicotine poisoning and was taken to the hospital. I have never been able to stand the smell of those things since. I think that the Lord decided that if I was so weak I couldn't do what had to be done for myself, He would do it for me.
We will all be praying for you, and don't stop giving up on curing your addiction. The Lord is hearing you. Be sincere, and God will help you one way or the other.
