First, you must come to the understanding that all addictions are spiritual. Regardless of their names, they all report to one Master. You will never know because science will tell you otherwise.

But one thing is certain on why these kinds of charade never works, Even Master Jesus said so. First, you must deliver yourself.

Same was said by Teacher Bob Nesta Marley " none, but ourselves, can free our minds". I shall say no further.

Salvation and redemption are personal. All you might need are teachers, prophets and guides. But none of them can do much more.

They all have a beginning and there is nothing that has a beginning that does not have an end.

The question is when do you want it to end?

You might still be thinking about it. While you are at it, lets be honest with ourselves. If you do not end that addiction, it will end you. And when it ends you, it will stop.

So, why not end it before it ends you?

May God help us..this your write up was on time.. infact I'm trying to get rid of smoking..I just need to stop it..it's been a very long time attitude..and the place I work now makes everything looks simple and isolated if I don't smoke..I pegged 2026 resolution to it tho..like from jan1 I want to make sure I totally stopped it.. couple with this message I know God won't come from heaven and talk to someone.. happy new month and remain blessed..

Let's begin this journey. If you visit the doctor today and he tells you that you will suddenly drop dead if you take another smoke within the next 7 days, you won't touch it. Or let's imagine you are arrest by the police today and thrown into a cell were you are unable to smoke for the next 3 weeks, your least worry will be the desire to smoke. Your priority in both instances will be staying alive and your freedom from jail.

Ever wondered why?

I will leave you with this book to help with the Spiritual aspect. Two Way Street by Salvador Sabino. Get it, read it and revert .

You will never be able to quit 100%. Especially if you used it for stress management. What will certainly happen is that you will get to a point that if you do not want it, you won't do it.

So, there are days you will still smoke. Maybe once i 5 years or 10 years or just like that.

It's cheaper with that link.

Hmmm..I might say you are on point to some extent..but don't you think I have gotten to the stage you talk about??..which you said if I want to stop it, I can... thanks for your time tho...but I will take my eyes off it once and for all..I have smoke a lot in Nigeria (even colos), but what I see about it is that the more addicted you are the more resistance your body build towards the drug.. I'm in Libya now too and their kind of smoke is different from Nigeria,.. due to my work( CarPainter)I have alot of customers which give to me even free, and some Nigerians around me that don't know how to get it because you can't just meet Arab man and buy just like Nigeria pattern,.so I get for them too which they will still give me...in short is I am too exposed to it, but life is about decision, but my fear is just that is it really spiritual to b addicted??. I'm just curious 🙄... I think it's a right thing to do right now to be able to right the wrong I have done to my health system... Not that I am sick, infact I'm healthy without any sign of illness all thanks to God..but I know a lot of damage smoking is capable of doing..so I think quiting when there is no sign of illness now is a wise decision I can make for my life..

I was once addicted to gambling and alcohol, if I don't drink my belly can't accommodate food. I drink to eat if u understand what I am saying.
Addiction is spiritual, it can be feeling, it can also be an habit or even hereditary. However you want to describe addiction is up to you but the only person that can stop you from addiction is basically YOU!.

One thing I know about addiction is that, you are going to be seeing sign of stopping it when is long over due either through people, intuition, books, environment, tragic stories etc... And if you ignore those signs and pretend as though is nothing then you are inviting bigger trouble that will cost you a lot, I am talking from experience.
So when you are really ready to stop it you will stop it.

Thanks so much for your response at least it lift my spirit of having someone to discuss my addiction with..
Your last paragraph said it all..if I don't stop now, then I think I might b inviting bigger problem for myself.. after all even my dad has never smoke all his life..tho he drink..but I started it myself..may God help my resolution.one thing I observed about an addict is that once you get to d level you decide in yourself not going back..you can,..with the fact that I have stopped before and start again, now the question I will keep on asking myself is can't I stop this once and for all??. afterall I have seen d best I could in it and now it's no more enjoyment but just to satisfy the urge for it.....thanks once again for this trend..it's lift a spirit 👍🙏💯

You see everyone has their pathway to life, since i stopped mine I have embraced spirituality, family togetherness and healthy life style living.
Meditation, reading books and online research has helped also. Addiction can be crazy, it can lead one to early grave. I lost a lot I mean a lot during my addiction period and I learnt life the hard way.

Just quit as soon as you have the urge to quit because you might later regret quitting it in pains I mean serious PAINS.

@Emmy000seun, I have colleague at work that smokes Colos as if his life is tied around it. If he doesn't smoke it he can't eat anything and you know colos, once you smoke you start to misbehave anyhow like zombie.

I find it weird at how people take this chemical and call it enjoyment.
I have adviced him, preached to him and guarded him but all to no avail and I still believe he will stop it but he might stop it the hard way. He is just 27 and he is born addicted.

Bro if you get familiar with drug levels, you will know all of them have their peak, like from weed (regular), Skonk(Sk), loud.(Ghana and Canadian loud)...all of this have their top level and once you get there you will need to promote to the next level..all this drug I mention above, if you are used to it then colos can never makes you misbehave exception is if you take it in excess..but I concur to the fact that if colos is been taken for long time it can tamper with ones sense of reasoning..
It was over hyping that makes me fall in love with it, like if my guys are taken it they will be like don't take it ooo, 😂 😂 na colos, so the day I took it I told myself that since my years of smoking different kind of weed, how will I b scared of it..but I only take like 3 puff and see how it goes with me, but nothing abnormal happened, infact I drove home perfectly that day..but what I observed is just 4 to 5 puff of it equivalent to taking a full wrap of loud..and colos was 500 naira, while a small cup of loud goes for 1,5 to 2k depends on the area I source for it..so colos save a little fund, but the intakes makes me feel so full of myself, and a slow reaction to every action..but I always cautious tho, like avoid fight, argument only enjoyment vibe..😂😂..I can state it categorically that smoking is another world entirely, may God help us fighting such addiction to overcome 🙏🙏

Be still in the storm!!

It came to show you the people you trusted can be there for you. Just want you to know those that are real with you before the next level.

Storm come to take away the wrong people not needed at your next level to prove who they really are.


Don’t panic to please the validation of people.

This time will pass, have faith in God.

Addiction is just like every other demonic encounters.

Ever seen a man in bed with his many demons?

They keep him comfortable. Oh! very very comfortable. He has the opportunities to rationalize his many vices and beastly actions or inactions until these vices and the likes, daily define who he truly his. There is not day he won't live without them. The wishes of his many demons must be satisfied daily. They become his nature and habits are second nature. Hence, killing another, to one, is just like smoking a stick of cigarette to another. One demons desires the smoke daily, regardless of how damaging it might be to your original values and mission, less not mention your internal organs.

At least, the quicker your internal organs fails and ends you, the quicker you are gone from this realm without the opportunity to satisfy or fulfill the very mission that brought you here to begin with. There are a few exceptions anyway. Those who the True Master genuinely cares about. They are 2 out of a 100. So, what are the odds for you?

The demons load such a man with immerse comfort and everything he wants or desires. But then there is always a catch. They take for a payment, the things that are of most value to him, but he does not seem to understand or fully value their true worth. Until it is too late.

But by the time such a man understands the entire dynamics of the deal and exactly what he was/is paying in return for the pleasure or worthless things, becuase they truly become worthless and return to their original possessor at the very end, it is too late. Well, except for the very few I mentioned earlier.

Most men on this road, ends up losing themselves, everyone around them, including those they love most, and everything they got in exchange for them. And if they are unlucky, they loose their body and Soul altogether.

Quite a fantastic deal with the Master strategist, right?

These demons are certainly not the bad guy, the men that trade with them knew exactly what they bargained for. But many never truly ask for the details of the deals that comes in very fine prints like that software contract you never read before clicking i do.

Isolation is what it is giving to you. The calmness you desire and a way to escape.

What is common with this?

When a lion wants to hunt for a buffalo or an elephant when very hungry, the sane tactics is applied. Isolate, degrade and kill off.

Hopes this rings a bell?

Happy rationalization. You shall soon find out your demons are the ones fucking you and not you enjoying the sex.

Shalom.

The question is what can you do?

If you knew what to do what will it be?

And how do you begin?

Times answers all things. 1 Samuel 38.

Go read it and listen to these two tapes by Pst. Sam Adeyemi

1. Winning over discouragement
2. Real Money series.
You can add the parable of the dollar.

Now, let me ask you this question?

How much money did God have, when he created the Heavens, the Earth and all this is within or beneath them?

Your problem is not lack of money. You have money all around you. I can small it.

You biggest problem, is the fact that you do not believe in your self.

Also, you do not have a plan and you wish that you will pray down a Benz.

Wishes are not horses. You can DM and we can talk more if you wish to figure out a way to get out of debt. I will offer it free if you are ready.

Shalom.

It takes more than will power. It takes understanding.


In all thy getting, get wisdom, knowledge and understanding.

Nothing lasting, works without a perfect or substantial understanding of these trinities.

Will power is the first step no doubt, but having faith is the most important. And faith will never come without wisdom, knowledge and understanding of the peculiar circumstances.
