"I think we'd call this avoiding the near occassion of sin."

I have a close friend who was an inter venous heroin addict. Got saved and delivered from the addiction but developed hepatitis from the abuse. The regimen included injections that he had to give himself every day. His testimony is the sting is the but the high isn't there. What is interesting is the Lord has seen he now has the strength to endure a habit that once was the occasion to sin.

I have heard that the brain chemistry-physiological effect begins for addicts while they prepare the injection and stick themselves, before the drug even enters their blood.

That must be something for him to have overcome. God is good.

Thanks for posting, BD.
