This author, at almost 63 years of age, has seen so many friends, acquaintances, and people exposed in the media that have destroyed their lives and hurt so many others with easily discernable consequences because of addictions.
All of us, including myself in bad choices that do not involved addictions, have suffered Godly corrections and consequences from bad choices in life. I am very thankful for the Love of God to fix my direction in my life. God will do the same for absolutely everyone who seeks Him through Jesus Christ.
There are some people who will give up all the potentials of a God
guided and rewarding life
for:
where all of these wrong choices will suppress and even eliminate the blessings from God in a person's life along with losses of Rewards in Heaven. Choosing NOT to:
will gain God's promises through a Christian centric life. When we are seeking God in righteousness, our lives will have peace, happiness and so much more, even when we are suffering. We all are living in a depraved and Satanic controlled world so suffering happens to absolutely everyone through causalities of others and our own sinful natures.

The experiment was later repeated and the kudzu-placebo groups were switched. Across the board, those taking kudzu drank more slowly and drank about half as much as when they were taking a placebo. If you tend to overindulge, give kudzu a try. Look for a standardized kudzu extract in health food stores and take as directed. Here are a few of the many beneficial changes that happen when you quit smoking:
Yet, as beneficial as it is to quit smoking, it can be a tough row to hoe. Fortunately, you can make it easier |
This author's previous wife became an alcoholic that caused so many problems in the marriage, which eventually caused me having to divorce her for Biblical Reasons. It is mentioned because during the period of her getting help, on several detoxification periods staying full-time at outreach centers, I attended support family meetings. I was naive and unaware of the treatments for alcoholism were being used for also drug and sexual addictions.
Speakers at the meeting events spoke about daily goals, used even on vacations, which consisted of finding, planning and going to Alcoholism Anonymous Meetings along with spending time reading and studying scriptures. Some speakers, who had decades of sobriety and abstinence, used healthy living patters in addition to meetings and scriptural study that consisted of daily exercise, vitamins and nutritious food choices.
Eliminating a bad habit requires the bad habit being replaced with good habits as will-power to stop something is not enough to over-power the desires of bad habits. Some research studies state that it takes at least three days to replace a bad habit with a good habit. To completely eliminate a bad habit takes at least thirty days. When we see positive changes in our appearance, clarity in our thinking and feel the love of God in our lives, then this will reinforce all of us to sustain the use of positive habits that are showing us the rewards in our life.
When this Author became a Born-Again Christian in September of 1983, I recall an axiom that is pertinent and applicable to the points of this topic. A friend in a Bible Study had written inside the cover of his Bible:
"Sin will keep you from this Book. This Book will keep you from sinning."
In the AAA meetings, the axiom expression is:
"Never stop quitting. Keep on quitting until you never need to quit again."
In these three areas, research document are stating it has nothing to do with consumption but the residual affects over long periods of time.
As a Christian, there are many areas that we can all become addicted or even mildly attracted to as a form of recreational fun. There are many medical options, which this author agrees, that it is better to restrict the use of any type of alcohol usage to once a week with very limited consumption.

As always, consult your Doctor before taking any suggestions on this topic. Turmeric Forte Recently, a cousin of mine who is the same age, where Alzheimer's is present in his side of the families' ancestors, was diagnosed with both Alzheimer's and Dementia at age where it is not normal. After hearing from my cousin, I contacted a nutritionist friend who recommended using: Turmeric Forte from Standard Process after each meal to aid the in the illness. My cousin has found it to be very useful and found it very noticeable on helping him to have normal conversations, where before becoming more and more difficult. He and others who have Alzheimer's and Dementia are describing the experience of dealing with the illness as having a "brain fog" that is difficult to remember short-term memories and thoughts. There are also medicines and other supplements that may be helpful, where Turmeric Forte may be an additional regiment to be added for those with one or both of the illnesses. Additionally, a little bit of cinnamon is a good recommendation as being added to your favorite coffee or tea times on a daily basis. Candida Albicans? There are some research documentation on medical blogs that state a cause in a small percentage of Alzheimer and Dementia patients is a gut flora called Candida Albican that infect the brain.
