All that is is an entire industry of people making a living off of not curing a problem that only the addict and God can cure.
All that one needs to cure one’s addiction is the will to conquer the demon, the desire to be free and the Strength of God to overcome.
Yes, there will be suffering.
But as an addict, I am the one who made my prison, walked into it and locked the door behind me. I am the only one who can unlock the door, walk out and never return.
My addiction/ addictions/ addictive behavior is between me and myself and God, and no one else.
I am sober. My demon is in my prison where I put it. I locked the bastard in there. I hold the key right here. It’s up to me to never let it out. I’m the only one who can do this job.
That is all.
You have courage and speak a deep truth here.
Would you be opposed to properly detoxing a person before his/her introduction to God?
