Jesus Christ knows exactly how you feel. If you trust Him, you won’t regret it.

Agree 100%. Philippians 4:13 is a well-known Bible verse that says, “I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.”
I am from a family of addicts. It was only when I TRULY turned my addiction over to God did I lose my desire to hide in a bottle every day.
After years of self loathing for my failure to stop drinking my desire suddenly went away on a Sunday morning. I earnestly prayed and God absolutely removed any inkling of a need to drown myself and run away from my root causes.
This will sound odd. But, what started my completely turning over my addiction was hearing Larry Kudlow recite part of the Serenity prayer from AA during an interview and me realizing that God would be my only path. Telling me to relinquish my need for control and the turn over the weight of my burdens to God.
This is what he said that day.
“God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.”
I have never been to AA. But, my brother and several other friends faithfully attend meetings. That is just how I finally stopped. I pray you find the comfort I found and live you life to its fullest.
