The Struggle is Real My Friends

I have discovered this year just how prevalent addiction is. I knew it was a world-wide problem, but I didn’t realize just how close to home it always is. Every single person I know, myself included, is addicted to something: sex, porn, other kinds of sexual stimulation, food, prescription meds, other drugs, eating disorders, video games, their phones, social media, buying clothes, etc. Some people would rate these addictions in order of which ones are better/easier or worse/harder. But really, they are pretty equal. If you are addicted to it and unable to control it (bad wording- I can’t think of a better word than ‘control’), it is inhibiting you from really being able to reach your potential. It is keeping you from doing something you really need to do and it is keeping your heart and your mind turned away from God. Being addicted to Facebook is just as hard as being addicted to drugs. It becomes a chemical and mental thing. It’s HARD. All of it. This subject has been on
