Thoughts That Touch My Heart

"Many times an addiction is used to alleviate pain. Most advice you hear today says to discipline yourself, face the music, endure the pain and form new habits. But the often unresolved question is: Where do you get the strength to do it? God must become your strength. To break the cycle of an addiction, you must learn to lean and depend on Him, knowing that apart from Him you can do nothing. Fill your mind with God's Word. Read and study your Bible regularly, then there will be less room for the thoughts and desires of the addiction. It is not easy, but God stands ready to help if you want Him to." - Joyce Meyer
