Addictions

We are all addicted to some form of chemical released in our bodies. In may be a socially accepted addiction such as requiring praise in your life, approval from others or being part of a team. Some addictions would be labeled positive and some negative, but they are all addictions never the less.

Over the years we have developed these addictions. Our subconscious will attract situations in order to meet our biochemical addiction each day. Drugs, alcohol and smoking are definite physical addictions however so are victimization, sex, fear, distrust, control, arrogance and stress. If you can’t control your emotional/physical state then you are addicted to it. This shouldn’t be a condemning statement; it should be an empowering statement. Your body creates a physical need for that emotional state, these neuropeptides, so it can produce the chemical reaction from the neuropeptides key locking with the cells of the body. Cells are the smallest unit of consciousness. We are addicted to the chemical produced by that emotional state. Over time we naturally want and even require to stay there or to get us back to it as quickly as possible even if the state is not good for us.

Alcoholism and drugs are also chemical addictions, but these were caused by an emotional addiction, emptiness and lack. It’s a “hole in the soul” that we try to fill with the addiction. We think that if we stop drinking we can control it and defeat the addiction, but any alcoholic will tell you this in not the case. We just become a “dry drunk”, miserable in our daily lives because we have not controlled the source of the need to drink. All reformed alcoholics and drug addicts know that only when there is complete surrender to a higher power (God) will this addiction, both physically and emotionally be broken.

All addictions both accepted and unaccepted by society can only be conquered when they are turned over and released to God. A relationship with him is the key that breaks these addictions in our lives. No matter what it may be. As we spend more time with him, there are bonds of physical, chemical and emotional addictions broken and we are set free. Now that you know this on a conscious level and it has been brought to light, you can change it. You can also choose to ignore it and continue to get the same results in life that you’ve always gotten. It’s your choice, Victim or Victor. Who do you help playing the victim? No one.

A Warrior will create his day, change his expectations, control his emotions, venture into the unknown and create infinite possibilities for his tomorrow. We are changing our identity. The speed that we change is up to us and our ability to “die to the flesh”. Are you willing to learn? Are you willing to change? Are you willing to become the powerful being you were created to be? Choose life!
