Can I Break Free From An Addiction On My Own? (Video Insight)

The shame of a secret addiction is one of the reasons we try and handle our addictions alone. We're afraid of being seen and then discarded. However, the only way to break the power of an addiction is to share it in a safe community with others who truly care about you.

I believe this video is true. Without the allowing the people that love you to help you, you struggle on your own. I have always felt and said to a friend of mine that no matter what happens I am there for you. Yes, I believe what your doing is wrong but I will not condemn you for it as that is not up to me. I will tho be there for you if you fall and I will help you up, brush you off and point you in the right direction no matter how many times it takes. In response to one of the other reviews. People whom have addictions always say they do not. They always say they can quit anytime they wish. If you are allowing truely allowing Christ to live through you than you will hand over your sins and allow him to take care of them. We all know what is right and wrong and those that are addicts continuously give reason or excuses as to why what their doing is not wrong or not a sin. So if you can find that one person who is willing to stand by you through all of your ups and downs even tho you know they do not agree with what your doing then you will know love. Let this person in for if they love you during your bad times you know its true.

In response to the person who doesn't "understand this whole idea of people showing love to someone who has just royally messed up"...I wonder, have you ever said or done something that caused someone to see you as "unloveable?" Did they continue to love you anyway?
