Some real good answers to this question, only thing I would say is not to focus on the actual subject of the addiction i.e. cigarettes alcohol etc but what are the underlying causes!!!
We know the physical and mental processes involved but there is also a spiritual side to them as well. Lets face it folks struggle with these and other addictions to and I am not talking about the lost either. In our churches are hidden prople who need help and setting free, but sadly church for them is not dispensing the 'Balm Of Gilead' but rather denunciations and condemnation..
Anyone struggling can find help here..
