Anyone can get addicted especially if they don’t pay attention to some of the possible signs or some aspects of their health that can get them addicted.

If you’re a Christian struggling with addiction, the good news is that you can break free if you’re aware of your identity in Christ.

Here are some of the steps you can apply to put addiction at bay.

Read your Bible regularly

If you’ve been addicted for a while and it’s been difficult for you to break free, one of the measures to apply is to improve your studying of God’s word. Reading and meditating on God’s word helps you to remember the power that resides in you.

It also reminds you that irrespective of your sin, you remain God’s child. So, if you are feeling like God has abandoned you, the word of God is there to remind you that he will never leave you or forsake you.

As you meditate on God’s word, you can confess some of his promises to yourself, especially regarding your healing.

Pray fervently

Another step to take to defeat addiction is to pray without ceasing. One of the primary essence of prayer is to communicate with God, and also listen to him.

It might be that the reason why you are at a loss on how to break free is that you’ve not spoken to God in a long time.

When it comes to fervent prayer, you don’t have to begin with several hours at a stretch. You can start with a few minutes, and increase it gradually. What matters is your consistency and how heartfelt your prayers are.

Inform your siblings in Christ

You can also conquer addiction when you are accountable to your brothers and sisters in the faith. It is important to mention that you don’t have to be shy when you tell them about your condition.

Your siblings in Christ will join you in prayers, and also help you find other means to treat your addiction condition once and for all.
