I was addicted to pain medication for 31 years, I would even buy them off the street and my stepfather would give them to me, I would feel guilty and hopeless when I ran out, went to a couple of rehabs , but they didn't help. I was at my wits end, I felt so guilty about going out to buy pills that I couldn't hardly live with myself, I wanted to die. I started listening to Jimmy Swaggart and he would preach the cross and Christ crucified, well as I listened more and more, I learned it wasn't by my own willpower that I would be set free, it was by trusting completely in what Christ did for me on the cross, he died to set me free and it took trusting in him and what he did to set me free.. So I let go of the guilt and the trying to do it myself and started trusting in Christ and him alone and he delivered me from a 31 year long addiction without horrible withdrawal. I'm free now thank God. If he can do it for me he can do it for others.

I was addicted to pain killers for 31 years , I couldn't get off of them I was a Christian, I went through a lot of guilt over this, I went to like 3 different rehabs, one down in Florida , I live in Baltimore. The reason I liked the pain pills is because they gave me a feeling of well being, something that I had never felt as a child or teenager. They made me feel normal. I knew it couldn't go on though they were unhealthy for me. Well I prayed about it and God showed me that he was my healer and believe it or not I stopped painkillers alone at home with no with drawl. God taught me that I couldn't depend upon my own self will, or will power, but to simply believe in what Christ did for me on the cross and I started concentrating on Christ and trusting in his shed blood and he delivered me from religion and showed me it's all about having a relationship with him. Praise GOD.
