"But
remember that the temptations that come into your life are no different from what others experience. And GOD is faithful. HE will keep the temptation from becoming so strong that you can't stand up against it. When you are tempted, HE will show you a way out so that you will not give in to it."
1 Corinthians 10:13

A short illustration:
Anyone who has planted a garden knows that the desired plants require much care. On the other hand weeds come along just fine by themselves. In fact a garden not tended to will become a weed garden in a short time. This describes a relationship with the LORD perfectly. A once a week, month, year visit to your local Church will only see to it that weeds will overcome you. To live in freedom from addictions, a daily relationship with the LORD is a necessity and a 'JOY' in the life of HIS Followers. Two
ways to remove weeds -
Cut them off at ground level so they are invisible (they ALWAYS come back!)
Or pull them out by the root (they NEVER come back!).
On the subject of addictions, you have to get to the root of the addictions to live a free life, otherwise you will keep going back to be their slave. By your continued reading of this Article, if is properly assumed that permanent freedom is your desire. It is up to you to put forth the effort in your life to follow the ways and means the LORD provides you. It is not enough to cry; "LORD, set me free forever!" And at the same time want to live your life according to your own way. NEWSFLASH!! You
way has not worked for you so far, and it is not going to get any better in the near or far future! By now, it is assumed that you have already memorized - 1 Corinthians 10:13 and that you are considering it's meaning in your life every day.
