Solution to Alcoholism

Solution to Alcoholism

Concerning the perils of alcoholism I just wanted to say there is freedom, and there is certainly hope; the setting free of those who are bound.  Today there are many people attempting to show the way to freedom from this peril, but there is only one sure way to put the ax to the root.  Many of the alternative methods in recovery leave the stump of the tree and do not actually deal with the root cause.  This is a shame and not the way God desires.  This following Scripture explains it all.  Proverbs 13:12, “Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but a desire fulfilled is a tree of life.”  Hope here means expectation and deferred means removed.  So this Scripture would literally mean, “Expectation removed makes the heart sick.”  For me and the addictions I once suffered from this  Scripture says that if I place my expectations in people, places, or things that can at some point fail then I too will fail, but if I set my expectation on the One Christ Jesus who cannot fail then I will triumph.  It is all too simple really, difficult at times, but still simple.  One must certainly persevere under the tests and trials; if done standing on the Rock, Jesus Christ one will not be put to shame.  Dare to believe God and you shall be free. 

 Hear what the group “Most Excellent Way” has to say on the subject.  “Since 1986, "The Most Excellent Way" has made its primary goal to declare the power that God makes available to a person to overcome addictions through the Cross.  We had become slaves to our addiction, but the Bible holds out this great promise:  that through Christ we can be made free.”  Jesus promised:  "Therefore if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed" ~John 8:36.
