Addiction

Addiction is a major problem in our world. Many addicts refuse to admit that they have a problem. People with multiple convictions for drunk driving deny that they are alcoholics. This would require changing their behavior, which they seem unwilling or unable to do. Their addiction rules their lives.

An addict is still accountable for their actions. They have an obligation to “strive” to change.

If a person’s behavior:

  • presents a real danger to their health, to their job and to their good reputation,
  • leads to a secret life built on lies and cover-up,
  • damages the lives of those they love: spouse, children, parents or friends,
  • becomes a preoccupation that has to be satisfied at any cost,
then they have an addiction that is destroying their life.

Whatever the cause of the behavior, the result is always the same — a serious loss of self-confidence. Addicts are not proud of their lies and cover-ups, their betrayal of family and friends, or their lack of self-control. Deep down they do not feel good about themselves.

Quiet Time with Our Lord helps to dispel these feelings. It offers them healing and hope for deliverance from their addiction. They discover the life-changing truth that they are children of God and their Father loves them no matter what has happened in their lives.
