      Congratulations on 8 years....I am 8 months clean and feeling stronger every day. As hard as I tried on my own .. I could never make it last 24 hours of being dope sick. Once I surrendered and got in my knees and gave it all to Jesus, I finally had hope.. and it carries me through the day every day.

      I will surely pray for you James..
      I'm struggling with addiction too and only recently started to introduce myself to the bible..( its a struggle too but I know I must persist and I want to and not find it a chore so I pray to the Holy Spirit for help and guidance and watch videos containing scripture and advice)
      Can you access Ibogaine where you are? I haven't fully researched it yet but it's non addictive &
      supposed to help immensely with detox and withdrawal symptoms..
      Other than that, good kava can help with anxiety and many foods and supplements are essential to help your body and brain recover...
      God Bless you. It's such a difficult affliction that few understand.

    Struggling to overcome addiction and SSA for years. reached out to many Christians but no one was willing to help. Even been told that they (Christians) don't know how to deal with it. Maybe I should be able to overcoem with me and Jesus alone but no success yet. Matter of fact, over past few years certain aspects have worsened. Don't give up but tired of handling alone.

      Hey Man! The breath we take is a gift from God … the reason he continues to wake us up …is because he has a chosen , special , specifically designed purpose for our lives on this earth! The bible says “ he stitched us together in our mother’s wombs… and that we are fearfully & wonderfully made by him! There are people who love you and God made you for a reason! And there’s people who care about you! Like me , that’s why I’m lead to write this comment! Try to reach out to family friend and let them know how ur feeling! Praying for you tho!

      No Gil, God has a job for you to do, he used your parents to create you. He wants you to love Him with the love you long for and He has been by your side this whole time. He wants you to Trust Him and believe Romans 8 says nothing can seperate you from His love. I wanted my life to end when married to a violent man, I'm divorced but now I want to live, I want to do the job assigned to me. To help the hurting, wounded, lost, or homeless etc. I had a sad rough childhood full of trauma and angry at God but now I have purpose I want to help others and I still got bad habits, that's why Im here listening. Bless You and keep praying, talking and ask God to help to trust Him, Amen
