Addiction

Depending on a substance or behavior that becomes hard to control.

What the Bible can tell you

No temptation has taken you except what is common to man. God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted above what you are able, but will with the temptation also make the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.

1 Corinthians 10:13

For the good which I desire, I don't do; but the evil which I don't desire, that I practice.

Romans 7:19

Stand firm therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and don't be entangled again with a yoke of bondage.

Galatians 5:1

A human reading

Addictions trap and bring guilt, but they are not the end of your story. The text speaks of a way out, and almost always it includes asking others for help. Seek professional support or recovery groups; you do not have to do it alone.

This page offers reflection and companionship; it does not replace a professional. If what you feel weighs heavily or lasts for weeks, talk with someone you trust or with a health professional.
