New member, any advice welcome

Welcome! God give you power to win!

My best advice: cultivate abiding in Christ. Know Him!

 

Read your bible and pray every day even when you don't feel like it!

 

Welcome! Be sure to check out the Information tab on the main group page. Lots of helpful resources there. And consider identifying an AP or three via this site and start checking in with them every day.

 

I find the greatest success in this struggle when I rigorously apply two tactics. (1) Pray to the Father, at least every morning, with thanks for His incredible generosity and mercy and a request to fill my heart with His love. (2) Recognize the three stages of temptation as discerned by St. Augustine and stop myself from going beyond Stage 1. This is not always easy but it is the only way to reprogram the brain, take up a new and pure life and leave the old one behind.

 

Hi, welcome..
I think is great you're trying to fight by your own but NO ADDICT to any drug has ever gotten sober alone. NO ONE. In fact confession, accountability, sponsorship, AP is the foundation of AA (The 12 steps) so my best advice is confession...
God has made His part already.. now is our turn to start healing!

 

Daily spiritual disciplines help release the power of God through his spirit to work in your life. A daily quiet time in His word and meditation at the start of every day and intermittent times during the day have been useful to me.

 

Also, I see you getting involved in other people’s recovery following up. This helps encourage others and helps your own recovery.
