Overcoming AddictionOvercoming addiction starts when you admit there is a problem
It takes a special person to admit mistakes and failures. Without this honesty, change is impossible.
Pray for the courage to be honest with yourself and with others.
Be willing to change your behavior
Many addicts can admit their problem, but are unwilling to quit. It would mean saying goodbye to certain friends and to deeply-rooted habits. Change is too painful for them.
Think of what your life would be like without your addiction.
Find a powerful reason to stop
You need a strong reason to change your behavior.
Ask Jesus for the strength you need.
Develop a plan
Try the 12-step program. You work with Jesus to get through your addiction. Aim for spiritual progress, not perfection. It gets easier to do with “clean time.”
