For me it was weed. They say it's not addictive, but I call bullcrap. I was addicted to the numbing it provided when I couldn't deal with the emotional and mental abuse I was enduring. But thanks to God, it's been almost 9 years since I last smoked. 🙌🏽
For me it’s porn. The way the church treats addiction but especially porn is downright terrible. It keeps most of us hiding in shame rather than confessing and getting the help/grace and love we need. They say porn is an “intimacy disorder” but I think any addiction is honestly.
Jon, I really appreciate this article and the sincerity with which you express yourself. I think many of us will relate. I certainly relate to your underlying why. I have sought many different avenues of escape, and they do become addictions. For a while, it was like playing whack-a-mole. Whacking the symptom of addiction to this or that vice or distraction without addressing the underlying root cause… I’m grateful the Lord is healing you and bringing truth to your inmost being.
