I hope it works


Truth is I have given up on God... Like he never hears me..

I once slept in my car somewhere around finance bridge here in Abuja over night... Was so stoned I couldn't drive..

Even God overslept on Sunday and that was why the devil was able to crawl into heaven
God has given you a way out; JESUS. When people say what you just said, He says to them, I've given you all you need in Him and you are still asking for more.
You have your solutions in Him. Just yield to Him and He will help you. The energy of the flesh will fail but the Holy Spirit will help you overcome.
The miracle isn't over night, take a dose of Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit every single day and minute and watch how you will be transformed.
When you feel like giving in to the urge, draw strength from Him. Locate a Winners Chapel Church close to your place. Go there tomorrow by 5pm and partake of the communion, you will be strengthened by the blood of Jesus Christ.

Shut the bleep up. Go back and read the title of the thread before you start acting like an intelligent drug ambassador here.

Like i said, so many mentally deranged junkies on this thread. They used their hands to kill themselves and fück up their own lives and are here seeking sympathy.

Nonsense

As a lady I still find it hard not to do kwaya (drugs). Bad influence I guess or maybe because I saw my dad and his cliques doing it so it rub off on me

Been to rehab couple of times, currently taking a counseling class although I haven't attended for like a week...

I find myself doing it although deep down I don't wanna, but it is something I can't help

Please if anyone is going through this phase or has passed and overcome kindly share your experience to help conquer this war against drugs and alcohol

Thanks

God? Fvck God. U are the foolish one for believing and defending an impotent sky daddy. I dare God to do his worse.

Whatever you say, He still loves you and He's still there waiting for you to turn back.
One day when you get to your dead end, only then will you realize He truly is here all along.
Sadly, the ONLY 3 ways devil can gain access to people's lives is through covenant, disobedience and ignorance being the exact one you're portraying.

Brother it's not your fault and i wont blame you. You're only a victim of the spirit and they've got their stronghold on you.

I pray for you

Mine is sex addiction.. Or maybe I just think I am, at least I have never paid prostitute for sex.. I was,doing different girls, different race, white, black, purple, pink. long story short I am 18 months now no sex. I don't know if I have overcome the temptation yet.. Cos when I am idle I think of the good old days. But we move. Just want my future wife to enjoy me and not me going different places,for sex

Take one day at a time towards stopping your addiction. Celebrate yourself for each day won. You could start with supervised reduced dosages.

If you have sleep issues, get lots of banana peels, rinse in water and boil to make tea. That would help with sleep.

See a psychiatrist if you can.

Rehab dey for naija? Anyway, I'm sure therapy and MAT helps but I know nothing is as powerful a permanent solution than the Holy Spirit. Sounds trite, yet true. I'm still surprised there are rehabs in Nigeria, though.

Dunhil? I'm more of a Benson Switch guy. I'm desperately trying to stop smoking cigarettes but I just can't seem to stay away for too long. I only quit for a full year (2016-2017), then I came back with full force.

What does lexotan + dinamogyn do for you?

I'm more of rohypnol + happy pills dude. Then I love me some Arizona/loud then the occasional colorado to tempt fate. I love my alcohol - gin, whiskey, tequila, black bottles of beer (Legend in particular), etc. Only thing I wish I could stop was the cigarettes.

God help me sha.

Addiction is real and deadly

First and foremost I want you to know that GOD loves you and he will never give up on you.

Secondly please no matter what, don't ever give up on yourself cos as I wrote, God will never give up on you.

Lastly I would love you to connect to your maker to set you to default settings before you ever got messed up with these addictions...

Remember that when a product is faulty, we take it to the manufacturer to fix so the only person that can fix you perfectly is your maker talking about GOD ALMIGHTY.

In order to connect to GOD it is sacrosanct that you go through Jesus christ cos he is the mediator of mankind, in him you will have freedom from addictions so if you are yet to know him I guess the first step is to surrender your life to Jesus and that you can do right now no matter where you are on the surface of the earth.

Just read the following words aloud and you will be automatically saved...

"LORD JESUS, I COME TO YOU THIS MOMENT AND I BELIEVE YOU DIED FOR ME ON THE CROSS TO TAKE AWAY MY SINS, I ACCEPT YOU THIS MOMENT AND FOREVER AS MY LORD AND SAVIOUR. Thank you Jesus for saving me"

As simple as those words sound, you are automatically saved as soon as you read it out.

Now this is very important and you must understand this...

The Greatest rehabilitative therapy is the one you get from Jesus through the help of the Holy spirit.

The only spirit has the power to break you free from this mess you find yourself and ALL YOU NEED DO is go on your knees and cry unto Jesus and he will surely set you free.

Nobody has the power to overcome addictions of any kind, the rehabs can only do their best but when the Holy spirit comes upon you, all addictions will cease to have dominion over you and you will never believe you were the same person who couldn't do without the addictions.

God bless you.

Back in school, I was an addict. I was addicted to Alcohol, SK and Roofies, Codeine wasn’t my thing. How I balanced my studies with the lifestyle still baffles me till tomorrow. After graduation, I came back home and made a promise never to smoke weed, take drugs nor sniff the smoke of cigarette. It was so hard but I was determined. I busied myself with numerous things like video games, music, lotta series/movies, picnics, big brother reality show, exercise and evening strolls and rides sometimes. Although I still took little alcohol but it wasn’t excessive aiming to get drunk to stupor like back in school. Bless Lord my mom came back and saw few bottles and cans of alcohol in the fridge, she threw them all and started monitoring me, she played an important role in ensuring my cleanliness. It was tough but I overcame it. Now I can beat my chest and say I’ve been clean for 2years.

The easiest way to overcome all this drugs and alcohol is to come closer to God. look for a good church,make sure you attend weekly and Sunday programs. Most of the things u do,isn't really you but the evil spirit making you to do it.once you find a good church,the man of God will cast out the evil spirit via deliverance. A friend of mine has similar issue with you,when she prayed and fast,God answered her prayer by given her a word Ezekiel 36:25-27
