Struggling with your Demons? - Get some Help

Believe me I know about Demons - It is all so easy for people to say 'Just Quit' but they don't realize what an addiction is like.

However, above and beyond any help you might get with this, the thing is YOU have to make up YOUR mind that YOU WILL QUIT.

No matter what you do, if YOU do not make that decision, YOU will relapse at the first problem you want to medicate or temptation (party, date, etc). This is evidenced by the fact that people make a career out of 'Rehab' - it's all well and good until they get back to 'real life' and then they are toast.

  • If you ask God to help you He will give you strength (IF YOU believe He will).  As with all things concerning Him, YOU have to accept the help and that you are weak and can't do anything without Him.

  • Change your patterns - don't go to where you know people will be drinking.  This is the hard part as I strongly believe drinkers have a real need for social interaction and most socializing is done in bars or at parties where there is alcohol.  It is a sacrifice you will have to make until you know you are strong enough to say 'I'll have soda' or whatever.  (there are lots of non-alcoholic drinks you can have)

  • Fortify your efforts with Information - it not only helps to know about others who have fought the good fight and won, but to learn what they did that might help you too.  This is an excellent resource for when you are ready to GET SERIOUS.



God bless you and show you the LIGHT and give you the STRENGTH to save your LIFE.
