I'm 17, been using dxm (codeine), many types of painkillers and muscle relaxers, and alcohol for the most part for two years now on a everyday basis. I've already been in rehab and I've been on probation for a while and have stopped for four months. But, sadly, I want to use again and I don't want to stop. I'm growing more and more obssesed everyday and I am giving in. I don't know what to do. I am scared but at the same time I cannot help myself. One part of me wants to stop. The other wants to still use.
 
The problem with temptation is that our flesh that is the physical side of who we are is very weak towards it. We all struggle with different things in our lives, some sexual immorality, some holding grudges against people which can lead to hate and some substance abuse. The fact is that most of us are completely helpless to over come these things. No matter how hard we try we just cant over come it.
But God can! He can help us over come our weakness and step forward into victory. So pray, pray and pray again that he will give you the strength to resist. Every time you feel weak and that you can't go on, pray. Pray for the full armour of God especially the shield of faith. Because Satan knows what your weakness is. He knows where all the chinks in your armour are and he knows just to get at you and he will use every trick in the book to make you fall down. So I say again whenever you feel weak, drop to you knees (metaphorically of course, I understand you cant do that in the middle of the town square or someone will come and drag you away to the funny farm) and pray to to God to protect you and to give you the full armour so you can resist Satan's arrows.
But these is another thing you need to do and that is to flee temptation. Remove yourself from any situation that will help fuel your weakness. Remove all things associated with it. Make it as awkward and hard as possible for you to slide back into your old ways. Remember we battle not against flesh and blood but against the evil powers and authorities of this world. Yes, we are in a war and in any war you have to have battle tactics. You need to plan your defence and make precautions. I don't exactly what will make it impossible for you to backslide. But you do and if you don't pray and ask God to show you. But just make is so when you fall over the pit is so far away you can get up before you slide back in again. So when you give up and your weakness is taking over it is so hard and so very troublesome to actually get hold of anything that you will have no choice but to cry out to God to save you again and he will. He always does.
 
One more thing but you have already done this. Tell others about your weakness so that we might pray for you.
James 5:16 "So confess your sins to one another and pray for one another so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person has great effectiveness"
I'm not saying I am righteous, far from it. But Jesus has clothed us all in righteousness and he listens to all our prayers.
But remember don't just tell people on here. Go to Christians you know in person and have them pray with you. If the problem is too personal to share like that just ask them to pray for you. God will understand and he will save you. I will pray for you as I am sure many others on here will. God bless you and keep you in the palm on his hand. +
 
Dont quit girl. Jesus will sustain you! :) Read Matthew Ch4 verses 1-14.. Be encouraged. If Christ overcame.. you can to with His help! He is faithful and is every present in time of need! Fight girl. He loves you and does NOT want you to fall back into that.. you've come too far!! :D
 
Thank you, just gonna try to keep on moving along. & try my best to open up to someone. I don't have anyone to talk to very much.
 
Emanuel, God is with us and if God is with us who or what can stand against us! Don't let anything keep you back. I pray that God bring someone into your life that you can open up to and until that day comes you have all of us ;)

Sorry if my posts seem like an essay to read I will try to keep thing shorter in future :) GBU+
