Annie Is the addiction topic specific to drugs/alcohol?? Or does it include ANY & ALL different kinds of addictions?
This specific discussion is with people recovering from drug/alcohol addictions. BUT all addictive behaviours are relevant I think.
"I do not understand my own actions. For I do not do what I want, but I do the very thing I hate" Romans 7:15
Apologies for not making myself clearer. Didn't have a lot of time, and just popped this post in here.
The point of the discussion is for everyone to get a chance to talk about their own issues (it's a discussion not a lecture) but what I would like to bring to it is scripture for people to read/confess, when they are going through moments of weakness.
For example,
"No temptation has enticed you that is not common to the human experience, but God is faithful and He will NOT let you be tempted beyond your ability to resist, but along with the temptation He will provide the way out as well, so that you WILL be able to endure it, without yielding and will overcome temptation with joy!" 1 Corinthians 10:13
Often, when people have such moments of weakness, they need something concrete to focus on, and there's nothing more concrete than The Word. I have found personally, that being able to focus on a particular scripture, read it, process it, pray on it, has helped carry me through such moments. Because after a while, these moments don't come so often, but when they do I need to be well prepared.
Hope this has clarified what I'm asking for x
