There many different types of addictions. We can become addicted to prescription drugs, illegal drugs, alcohol, cigarettes, food, television or anything else that we escape to. In an addiction we are running from the hurt and pain in life. We are escaping from the hurt and the situations that we do not want to face. We are covering or self-medicating the hurt and pain with what ever we are addicted to. God never teaches us to run from our challenges. He tells us to face the situations in our lives and to protect ourselves with His weapons. His weapons are strong enough to tear down any stronghold. They are powerful enough to separate our souls and spirits. They are powerful enough to heal and set us free from anything. His weapons are forgiveness and repentance. When we forgive He will take all our anger, hatred, resentment and bitterness. When we repent He will take all our shame, guilt, regret and sorrows. He will heal our broken hearts and we will no longer need to escape from life because He has healed us. My book Biblical Foundations of Freedom explains how to recognize the bitterness and anger and how to forgive.
