ADDICTION FAST FACTS

By Synthia Esther

Addiction is an escalating uncontrollable need and desire, which causes a neurobiological long lasting chemical change within the brain.

Addicts make excuses for their destructive and irrational behavior because they don't want to give up their addiction, nor the coping mechanism it provides.

Addicts will remain in denial concerning their addiction problems until their behavior causes them to bottom out. They have to literally come to their wits end.

To “enable” an addict to continue their destructive habits of behavior is to ensure their untimely demise spiritually, emotionally, and most often physically.

Temptation comes through the door an addict deliberately leaves open. You can show an addict the way towards spiritual, emotional, and physical health and healing, but it is he/she alone who must choose to walk the spiritual journey.

God provides the healing power to transform the addicts irrational mind into a sound mind and body. As the addict begins by taking the first step toward God (faith without works is dead), the life altering sacred journey home begins.
